Why are there so many banned users ?

Who's doing the banning, and why ? There must be some heinous crimes against humanity committed on this board...

So, new topic - have you ever been banned from somewhere ? or did something shameful that meant you wouldn't be going there again ?

I won't be going to Bar 55 in Camden any time soon...

Users get banned for breaking the rules. If you stick to the rules you will not be banned.

There posts may be Ok but they probably have broken some other rule.

And those posts have a tendency to get deleted, leaving conspiracy fanboys wondering what that guy got banned for.
I'd guess the majority of all banned accounts are probably spammers, with trolls and idiots being a distant second ( and half of those can probably be attributed to a certain serial offender faint ).
Equal opportunity blasphemist and insultant.

In your case, it's because you post clever spam.
I reported a clever spam post by you this morning.
That will get you a ban every time.
