Believe it or not, one of our beloved site administrators was kind enough to approve the changing of my username from:

snyperscope to Garage

I am now a new man.

I changed all my images.

That means my main pic, banner, and sig.

I'm so happy.

Hey! I was recently banned again. This time I'm not mad at all. The situation was clear as this:

Someone created a new troll thread about how his how his friend had a hardon 3 times and he was jealous. Anyway, I went on to make a firm few-sentence post saying basically "Stop trolling."

Now instead of posting, I decided to make this from the tiny icon you can use for moods. All of it was made originally by me, and I'm incredibly impressed at my own handiwork.

EDIT:

You can see the thread HERE

Just to get that old rant off my page.

Oh the inhumanity!

ERROR - You have been temporarily banned from posting to the BBS for 30 days. You have 29 days, 7 hours, 25 minutes and 40 seconds left until your ban is lifted. Do not attempt to create a secondary account to get around this ban. If we find evidence of you doing so all of your accounts will be terminated.

Reason for ban: The person who owns this account is a miracle of modern medical science- somehow he operates a computer without a brain. Seriously, don't come back to the forums. *****PERMABAN*****

I really think that Newgrounds should implement a regulation that requires the mod to ACTUALLY TELL YOU WHAT YOU'RE BEING BANNED FOR.

I'd also like to know who's banning me. That way I could ask them why I was banned and what to avoid in the future.

It might also help if you couldn't been banned for an excessive amount of time for seemingly no reason, along with half of all the BBS posts you've ever made being deleted.

It seems that:

Banning is to Mods
as
Trolling is to Users

Users think "I'm bored. I should start a flame war and enrage people with annoying and opinionated statements."
-while-
Mods think "I'm bored. I should ban someone and enrage them with dismissive and ambiguous replies to their questioning.

--------------------------------------

-Mods are generally rude (why shouldn't they be, they get to do as they please)
-Everything you do is constantly questioned by mods
-Even when they have decent points, they make them in a disrespectful manner
-Mods should not be exempt from the rules they exaggerate all the time
-They have no responsibility whatsoever
-Forgive me you decent mods (Knugen, you've been fair) but most of you act like total assholes without a care in the world
-"Everything, by Everyone" isn't true at all. In fact, 75% of people get tossed about with no worth, all the while those who manage NG turn a blind eye
-About 10% of people actually get respect
-Visitors are often horribly mistreated, usually by a regular

Must... Have... Submission... For... 2010!

It's now 2009 and I want to update my banner. I made a kickass banner, saved it as a JPEG and a GIF, and tried to put it up. That didn't work, obviously. It's 30KB and 700x100 pixels so it should work but whenever I try to upload it, it just goes back to my old one! WTF!?!

Bad news. My trial has expired, I can't get another one, my school year has ended and it had Flash in the PC lab, I'm moving from NY to TX, and I just don't know how I'll be able to put the finishing touches on the things I've been working on. I have virtually no Flash access from now until further notice.

Also, I am going to need contact info from J. Chun, M. Colucci, C. Spentzos, J. Drueckhammer, Espo, Ryan possibly, and like everyone else since I won't be able to access the school server from now on.

Wooh! A new one! And I'm also going to change my banner too, ahh much better.
