Default What happens when you get banned?

I dont even want to get banned from here or any forums, or even make up a fake name and get banned... I was wondering what actually happens? is the IP address blocked or just not allowed to sign on?

Admins generally have the choice to ban your account or your whole IP. It's less complicated to ban an account (because many IPs are shared), but sometimes banning an IP is necessary to get rid of pests who keep signing up new accounts in order to circumvent a ban.

Ain't it just to renew the IP then? It takes about 5 seconds :/

If you are banned you can't post anywere in the forum. Sometime admins can just ban your account or ban your IP too if you use multiple accounts and continuly spam the forum etc.

You see a bright light, and hear a re-assuring voice say: "Come towards the light my child, do not be afraid"

Seriously though, I think they can ban your account, or to stop people making new accounts, your email or IP address.

Since you guys have trouble understanding unintentional spelling errors...
Maybe the images Google provide on the search for it will help you determine wtf it is.

A special packet is sent through your Internet connection if you are permanently banned. This packet causes the computer to direct five thousand million times more current than unusual down the mouse and keyboard cables, thus electrocuting the individual.

When you're banned, we have a party. And you aren't invited. Cuz you're banned.

Yeah, pretty much.

Anyway, let's get this thread back on topic, even though there's not a lot more to talk about regarding being banned

I think Divine summed it up pretty nicely

It was in this thread. It had to do with a creative punishment accompanying being banned. How can I put this... It had to do with putting something "fat" into something else. (Hopefully this is vague enough for the mods to leave alone.)

Its easy to get around a ban but the best solution is not to get banned in the first place Second post pretty much answered your question though.
