    Default Why is it that so many new members get banned?

    So many newbies get banned within the first week. Why is this? Can we stop it?

    It's like every day a new stupid retard googles for a Final Fantasy forum and joins this one. Maybe we should have a decoy forum for the idiots.

    Hmmm, maybe a lot get banned because they are duplicate accounts or something? Or second accounts?

    Maybe they get banned because they're not so intelligent and can't follow rules. That's just a hunch. :rolleyes2

    EoFF isn't as lenient on idiots as a lot of forums, and it's sink or swim.

    Because there's a lot of people who come to EoFF purely to advertise.

    Because we're anti u r teh sux. And people who can't type complete sentences suck.

    This is why people who are no longer new are banned, as a rule of thumb.

    Chuck Noblet: Can anyone tell me the tragic irony of the Trojan War? Tina? Tina: Um, that horses are friendly creatures yet a hollow, wooden one was used to destroy Troy? Chuck Noblet: Wrong and no. Anyone else? Chip? Chip: That the mighty warrior Achilles was killed by a small cut to his ankle. Chuck Noblet: Chip is wronger. OK, here it is. The tragic irony of the Trojan War is that though it was fought over Helen, who was young and beautiful, by the time they rescued her ten years later, she was old and ugly. Tina: But wasn't recovering the king's wife reward enough for the Greeks? Chuck Noblet: Tina, an ugly woman is never a reward.

    Someone on one of my posts got banned because he was being a closed-minded child. ><
