Did admins ever ban someone or is it just the job of the Mods?

 

Only certain Mods can ban. Also people have this one-sided thinking that Mods are the only people to take action on reports, report violations, close threads, etc when in truth we do that as well. I just moderated someone in this very thread for a censor bypass.

I'm pretty sure i'll get banned one day and i'm not worried about it. This website is just a way to kill time at work. I don't think i've ever looked at these forums outside of work.

I'm not kinda scared, but if that would happen, I would be disgraceful. :(
I'm also planning to become a moderator, so I must be triple extra careful of what I post.

There was a time when I would have cared but I'm not much involved with the community here anymore. Ironically now that I wouldn't mind so much it wont happen, because I barely post and I don't say anything objectionable. When I was 'into' the community I was getting moderated all the time.

Heaven forbid you have to make a new email, start from post 1, and sacrifice your respect on a gaming forum.

In answer to the question, no.

Maybe if they add some new rule like if you reach 100 moderations you get banned, if not then I doubt that I'll do something stupid enough to get banned.

In my experience, stay away from System Wars and rather degenerate conversations that occur in this forum from time to time, you will most likely never even get a warning, let alone a ban.

I try to follow the rules as much as possible, and I haven't been suspended yet, so I'm not that afraid of being banned. And if it happens, there's other sites on the internet.
