Stupidest thing you or someone you know ever got banned for?

[StaceyPowers]

If you have been banned from video games before, what are some of the stupidest reasons it happened? Did you get it overturned?

I never got banned before participating in any video game discussion hub. Because, I stay calm and polite, keep to the community's rules, and apologetic when I unexpectedly breach rules and regulations.

I was banned from one particular forum where I was a member for 10 years simply for spam, without warning and recourse. I still don't know what did I do that was considered spam. But all my previous posts and account were simply deleted.

I was also banned for another forum because I said things are a bit slow / there aren't enough active posters, and the owner of the forum took offence.

I have been banned for now being from US or UK. I couldn't believe it when I saw it happen and I was like are they kidding me.

Participating in games that I never got banned before is great, in fact I never been ban. Been kicked many times over 🙂 Mainly from other pelayers just kicking for fun or kicking as I made them lost one single round. I been kicked from World Of tanks many times over for killing my own people by mistakes.

Some admins sucks with how they issue out their ban without giving any consideration on trying to warn the culprit at least once but just outright ban.
