Read the Forum rules.

They explain it all.

I'll be on my own side.

When we ban 9 people in a row without getting a single whiny PM, we unlock the Carpet Ban streak.

“Oh, it’s a little bit of everything, it’s the mountains, it’s the fog, it’s the news at six o’clock, it’s the death of my first dog, it’s the angels up above me, it’s the song that they don’t sing, It’s a little bit of everything.”

It's when everyone who posted in a thread is banned.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

They rarely carpet ban.

whatever you do, don't go into a thread asking you to type "Bungie" with your nose.

I know from experience how that goes.

edit: hey that rhymed lol.

Narwhallace Smithington: Gone, but not forgotten. Never approve of anything lil guy. <3
Furious George: The new -blam!-

You think it's that guy from Borderlands, but it's actually a self portrait of Nedus.

On topic: Some people mix up "a lot of people breaking the rules in a thread and getting banned" with "carpet bans". The term "carpet ban" implies recklessness. It's more like a tactical nuke. ;)

Does it take a streak of 25 bans to get this bad boy?

Because 'tactical nuke' isn't the biggest paradox I've heard for a while.

I only know of one occasion when the mods had a carpet ban spree. This was the only time I got banned. Apparently, it happens all the time and people have lost their "Mythic" title because of it.

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

I say we derail this thread, discuss religion and politics, and discuss why CoD is better than Halo so we can find out first hand.

OT: Not very often.

Hello! You may also know me as Ijnekono. How you have made your way here I do not know, but welcome. (:

I see, like carpet bomb. Except you carpet threads with bans if they are dumb.
Really though, I see a lot of one-liner response threads. Are these not considered spam?
