how does one find out they have been banned?

I’ve noticed a few users with “banned” next to their handle, I assume for breaking the rules…
My question is, (purely out of curiosity) when a member is banned, do they show up expecting to post as usual only to find that they can’t?

I can’t speak from personal experience, but yes, I believe that’s how it works.

You’re kidding, right?

There’s a thread answering this exact question on the front page of this very forum.
And not only that, but from that thread:

Generally TubaDiva shows up at your house and gives you a kick in the nuts. :wink:

And then Lynn fries 'em up in butter and garlic.

Nuts scampi? Mmmmm

d’oh! okay, I’m leaving now…

I’m sorry, my last post here was way too snippy. I apologize.

Everybody, just read the doggone FAQs!

Sometimes my lovely browser for some odd reason, drops it’s cookies & when I come to a board I get a ‘you’re not registered’ message. This always gives me quite a stir :slight_smile:

White Lightning, in case you wondering, you haven’t been banned. That we know of…
