Wow, I just remembered how strict Oldsider was.

[Silverhawk79]

I got banned for saying "diarrhea".
Not even joking.

What context did you use it in?

Konohashinobi: But my poem flowed when I wrote it...
Me: Yeah, flowed like diarrhea into a toilet.

You really got banned for that? Damn, did they allow anything there?

I remember starting a few flame wars and +1 threads and never even got warned D:

It was a lame ban, but...I guess I deserved it.

You said "diarrhea", how is that deserving of a ban?

[Triforceman22]

I said "hell" and got warned....

[The Riddler]

I made one post upside down.

Got a weeks ban.

Of course there's the basic no sharing FCs/personal info/cursing/talk of ROMs, but there were some lesser known rules.

I just realized that it was an unwritten rule that you didn't talk about any game altering devices at all, even the Game Genie on the Legacy board. Speaking of the Legacy board, you would get warned if you didn't talk about the American NES exclusively, and mentioning the Sharp Twin Famicom could get you banned.  :-\

I'm just glad this place is a lot less strict.

Do you remember any other stupid rules?

As for the game genie thing.

I wrote a post that was quite long and very well thought out, about why it's not a big deal.
It got about 10 pages worth of posts, then was deleted.

I wrote about how games are made to be fun. How a person wants to have fun is up to them, and using a game shark is by all means fair play in that department. If they use it in a multiplayer setting without the other players consent, then yes, it is wrong. But other than that, there is nothing wrong with using a gameshark. It doesn't make you less of a gamer. If anything, it makes you more of one because you're having fun.

The sig limit. 48 pixels high.

Go into MS Paint, set an attribute for a blank picture at 48 pixels high. I don't think you know how small that really is.

That one REALLY got everyone.

Didn't bug me. The rules were strict, but thats the past and its a past not worth remembering.

I was banned 8 times.  :robotsad:

Eight bans? You must be the reason the rules were so strict.

Oh, and one of the last things was that people were afraid of was that the September 11th update on the Smash Bros. Dojo would be offensive.

I got Ban'd For Spamming in an "Invisi Thread" for like 3 days.

I was like, 1st of all I didn't Spam, I posted about the topic...which was like.
"omg, how did you make a thread with no title on the board?". <--
How is asking a question Spamming?!  :robotindifferent:

I also got Warned by....umm... "Bronsen" for posting this image on the Smash Board (or Wii Board, can't remember)...because the Nsiders there were complaining about something... or maybe I was posting this image AT somebody...



Yeah, almost got ban'd there.
>_>

Shouldn't have wasted your time, any talking about game cheating devices will get the thread deleted. Even if Game Genies aren't around anymore.

Still, don't get the American NES only rule on the Legacy board, though.

I posted in a thread about Dawn.  Days later, NOA uses it as an excuse to ban me.

The ban was about a thread on Power On about coffee.  I guess NOA thought I was trying to be funny, and since they saw I had posted in a thread about Dawn (during the Dawn fad) and had made a thread about coffee, they automatically assumed the worst.
