What were you banned from? Why?


  1. I got banned from a Facebook page for foodies in my area. The admin was a self-important busybody who regularly abused his power by removing posts he didn't think were bougie enough for his audience. He got criticized for it a lot, and made a habit of telling people "If you don't like the way I run this page, go start your own". So I did. His group was called "[town name] Foodies!!", so I called mine "[town name] Foodies", leaving out the exclamation points. People started joining my group thinking it was his. I got a DM from him blasting me for "stealing" his group's name and advising me that it was trademarked and that any commercial use was prohibited. Then he banned me. I have never seen so little power go to someone's head before.

  2. I'm banned from PayPal cause I sold my WoW account for $600. Once I got the money I immediately cashed it out of my PayPal. Except it ended up that the buyer was some lady that got her PayPal account hacked. PayPal tried to get the money back from me. I said I spent it and don't have the money. They thought I was part of a hack scandal. But I was just some kid who thought he sold his WoW account. They sent creditors after me but I never gave the money back, insisting that it was PayPal's fault that their system got hacked. They said I was selling something illegal. Would I get my WoW account back if I paid the money back? No. End result is that I'm no longer allowed on PayPal.

  3. I got banned from a Minecraft server because of teleporting. The server mentioned had a teleport system that you could input as "/teleport [location name]". There was also a "/Teleports" command that gave you a list of eligible locations. One of them sent me to a plot with creative active but I guess the location was supposed to be outside access so upon teleporting in it crashed the server. Anytime forward if I joined the server it would crash, eventually leading to my ban.

  4. I was banned from a chat room back in the day because I chose an avatar of a cat and kept putting it above this other guy’s avatar and telling him that he had a cat on his head.

  5. Was "banned" from The Netherlands after I over stayed my tourist visa. I was working as an english teacher in europe and decided not to file for a work visa because I was only 22 at the time and didnt think much of it. A year later when I decided it was time to head home I was boarding my flight when I got pulled into a room with immigration officers and then "banned" from ever stepping back onto dutch soil.

  6. Was returning a stack of 50 CD-r at Best Buy when I was a kid. The lady does the return and for some reason took a few steps away from the register. She told me to toss her the CDs for her to put in the return bin, so I underhanded them to her. Was maybe 10 feet. She caught them and then did a little mock cheer. Go about my business in the store and about ten minutes later was approached by a manager telling me I need to leave. I was being banned for "throwing" a stack of CDs at one of his cashiers. Wasn't worth arguing, so I left.

  8. I was banned from the Bad Dragon forums by having the misfortune of replying to a Dutch poster on a mostly American board while also being Dutch.My account was perma-banned for ban evasion (note I only had one account on that forum).Ie. the mod that banned me thought I was the same person as the one he banned because I responded to a post by the banned poster and was also Dutch. Utter nonsense, obviously. Still use their shop, but I miss those forums, surprisingly good discussions on there, given the primary subject matter.

  10. I was banned from the public library across my house due to the fact that I was reserving a computer the whole day just to play RuneScape. They only let you reserve computers for an hour But I found a little trick to bypass it with the help of alt+esc and alt+f4. I’m guessing they got tired of me after the third year of doing it.

  11. I was banned from the community paint job section of Forza Motorsport 6. Apparently, they didn't like my white, windowless GMC Vandura with "Free Candy" written on the side.
