I'd spend a few weeks at level 1-6 on a new account not being able to post images or have a sig. But other than that I wouldn't really care. If anything, I'd just add the "h" to my name to fix the spelling mistake I made :P

You say that now. But when you actually do get banned, let me assure you... You will cry.

I wouldn't mind that much, I have other things to do with my time - I'd probably be more productive.

Gamespot doesn't just ban your account, it bans your ip adress. what that means is that you will never be able to create another account on that same computer ever again.

Probably be confused as to why I got banned, sad/angry for like 5 minutes, then move on. I spend way to much time on here, when I could be doing alot more.

I would definitely not like it, but it's what the mods said, so I'd have to deal with it and move on.

I'd probably get pretty pissed because I waste a lot of time here. Then I'd have to make a new account and think of yet another kickass username, it would be such a nuisance.

Well, I would lock myself in a white room for 3 days until I become rehabilitated and acknowledge that I'm banned from GS for good and that I have to accept it.

I'll say that neither of you are right... And leave it at that. And if I got banned... it would probably just be because someone got mad at me or I asked an admin to, like I did once before.

In the words of the Gamespot TOS Multiple Accounts While it is acceptable for users to maintain multiple accounts, we can and do track all accounts used on the same computer(s) and consider them one account for the purpose of monitoring violations of these Additional Terms of Use. If these Additional Terms of Use are violated severely enough to warrant the termination of one account, all known accounts held by that user and/or all accounts using the same computer(s) may also be banned at the administrators' discretion. That seems to support what 'best-gam3r' gamer said.... I guess banning really is forever.

I'd probably be sad because I enjoy coming to the OT, but I'd get over it and move on to another site. I can't see myself getting banned though, I haven't been modded in months and I don't ever really post anything too outrageous.

No, I thought someone had hacked my account, so I asked an admin to ban it. Turned out to be a false alarm.

I's find the nearest bell tower and start picking people off with a sniper rifle screaming "THIS IS MY LIFE WITHOUT GAMESPOT!"

In reality I'd be curled up in a ball in the shower crying.

Same here. Gamespot is probably where I spend 90% of my time online. (The other 10% is webcomics and youtube)

I would say "about time." After more than 10 "warnings" for the same thing, I'm starting to think I'm either untouchable or they don't understand what a warning means. People complain that the mods are too strict, but I'm a living example that they're actually pretty cool.

Gamespot doesn't just ban your account, it bans your ip adress. what that means is that you will never be able to create another account on that same computer ever again.

Turn off your modem. Turn it on again. Problem solved.

Oh no, you revealed the great secret of bypassing IP bans! Your post will most likely get deleted. :P

To answer the topic question - I'd be pretty pissed to get banned so quickly.
