Default How many forums have you been banned from?

I lost count. Best guess, five. One for calling the mods out as Barney Fife. Another one for finding a blatant error in a moderator's analysis of a car electrical problem. One who the owner was from California, I repeatedly made fun of California.

The best one, in a political forum, I repeatedly destroyed some guy's arguments, so he bought the forum then banned me.

I've been online since 1994 and have never been banned from any forum. I've been on too many to count: Political, guns, motorcycles, chit chat, machining, computers, seniors, you name it.

And the only "warning" I ever got was about 5 years ago at "that other place" -- the mod thought I was pissed at another poster when I really wasn't. If the mod had actually read the thread "it" would have known.

Then a 24-hour ban there last December, don't remember why. Haven't been back. The internet's a big place.

~Reddit multiple times ending in an IP ban

~local leftist political blog

~CF

~shadowbanned by a local NBC affiliate

~I think I was banned from the local ABC affiliate, too, but they shut down their comment section altogether since then...it's been so long, I don't actually remember for sure

Edit: I now recall, the ABC affiliate shut down their comment section, so I wasn't banned. The regulars went over to the NBC affiliate where....I guess my views weren't popular with NBC.

Two or three minor peepee slaps at CF over the last few months, four temporary bans on FB after the 2020 elections. No perma-bans.

I got nowhere else to go - YouTube
One that you caused me to remember,. A leftist site where I was banned after exactly one post. And my post was very mild. The tolerance of the left...

multiple temporary bans at CF.
IIRC, every single one of them was due to my interactions with a certain well known NNarcicist.

Similar experience. My "online adventure" began in 1994 as well. I have no idea how many message boards I have joined, dozens for sure. Car forums, long distance running, bicycling, guitar, among others.

In nearly three decades, I received discipline from exactly ONE, CF, including being banned for 6 weeks or so for "posting in a bar thread", when I had not posted in a bar thread in more than TWO YEARS.
