I've never seen a forum have so many people ban themselves from a forum.

Don't people have any self control?

On the flip side, then you have people who tell the forum "good riddance" and let everyone know they're leaving, then only to come back 6 months later and act like they didn't say anything (and interestingly enough, have their "good riddance" post removed so no one can see it:24:)

I kind of miss some of the other members here that don't seem to post as often as well.

What you speak of is true on every forum. I learned a long time ago dramatic exits are not my style. If I leave I just quit posting. People who asked to be banned are usually trying to avoid a temptation of some sort. Bannings for cause happen on every message board. We try our best to keep out spammers.

I'm not sure if you're speaking in general or this forum...but we never remove those "good riddance" posts that I can remember.

I think when people ask us to ban their account, they do so so that if they can't resist temptation and actually DO sign back in, they won't be able to post. Just my 2 cents.

Interesting enough I left quite a few forums and one of them will not stop sending me a "Come Back to Us" email every 3 months..

I can understand why some people would want to get banned as many forums send out periodical emails on "events", "contests" and "birthdays" which would tend to try to lure / remind you to come back.. The problem is the Forum general email system has no idea if you are banned or not and is just doing a global email send out.. You may think you are no longer banned when that is not true..

I am not sure how OTz deals with banned peoples emails / accounts, but I know I delete them completely, email and all. That way, spammers and problem makers are not reminded of the site with no warning letter of the events..

I don't really care in the long run. If I do not have enough will to not post someone that's my issue. It took me years to stop frequenting a hip hop site full of trolls.

Alcohol and the internet do not always mix.

I find it amusing when people delete their photo accounts, or delete all the pictures they posted before they leave.

It's because we're so irresistable!!! :24:

Seriously, though, when I decide to take a little break from this place I usually delete my bookmark and make sure I'm signed out on ALL of my devices. Otherwise I end up clicking my bookmark just out of habit, LOL

I came back because Veronica begged me everyday. Texts, calls. I tell you the woman was obsessed. Lmfao


Of course none of that is true. But it would be cooler if it was. Lol

She slashed my tires on my car when I took my last break. When I mentioned taking another one, she threatened to kill my dog. :(

The woman is a nut job. I totally Understand why you are moving so far away.
Lets just think about the torment she is probably putting poor Audra through. Resigns as a mod and disappears from here. She is in for it if she ever shows up here again.

I have seen people ban them selves and then com back and bag on someone else who's banning them selfs

Now as for me I'm just plain bonkers and tell everyone and I don't expect anyone to think less of me and if I do it I'll admit to it to the fullest keeping it real

I'm not even sure that Audra disappeared on her own...if you know what I mean. :unsure:
