On topic of bans, who here has never had yellows even once?

Is there anyone?

I got a couple. Pretty sure they were all "fighter bashing" related. Lot of "Pride" nuthugging mods in here.

Oh', and I got an absurd dub for claiming "People will die" in one of the GOT threads. Apparently that was spoiler territory. They did NOT fuck around in those threads.
 
Only ever gotten a single yellow, and it was for calling Ben Henderson "kind of a douche".

One of my bans came from making a thread titled "Things Classier Than Michael Bisping" and proceeding to list things that weren't very classy
 
Not banned, but I'm still bitter my only longer than 24 hours dubs was for calling Roy Nelson fat

That's objectively true.

I've been here 15 years but this is my 5th account. PHL was the longest running

What were some of the others?

I did feel kind of boxed in by my rep as a serious HW poster, and I started one to do silly jokes. Inspired by a trend of "Ten Interesting Facts About MMA" threads. Example of one of mine: "4. Shawn Michaels vs. Kama, the Ultimate Fighting Machine at KOTR was the first shoot in WWE history. Unless there were others that were not known about (or unless that one was also a work--don't quote me on this)." And in a thread about all the ways you can lose in MMA, I did a song to the tune of 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover (sample lyric: "Just tap to a choke, bloke. You don't need your throat broke."). Kind of immature, but it was fun while it lasted (two very short-lived accounts, actually).

I understand the no-bashing rule in some cases, but I think it should be relaxed for established guys who don't post to Sherdog. Ridiculous that that or Hockey's comment would get dubs. And the great Oicho Throw (GOAT HW poster) got banned for a colorful but insightful takedown of CroCop's skills and then multiple bans for being a returning ban.

To be fair, I think they've lightened up a bit over the years. You now see straight up fighter bashing threads on the reg now.

A few years ago though...yeesh. Quite a sensitive area. You have to really go overboard to catch dubs now.

Ehh my old screen names could give away my irl identity

Yeah. I my fighter bashing incident was like 2012. There's so many fighter bashing threads in the heavies nowadays the few times I trickle in there
 
One of my favorite fighter bashing posts (not some by me) was after Baroni gassed bad in a fight and made a long apology thread to his fans.

The first response was "you gassed just writing that didn't you?"
 
Was he previously Seaside? The guy that looked exactly like Elmer Fudd?
That pic wasn’t of Seaside. But yes Seaside and Caudillo were the same poster. The picture was of former poster Jehannum, who has also come back and been banned multiple times. But he’s not a WR poster.

I caught my ban in 08 for saying Tim Sylvia was going to get knocked the fuck out by Fedor.

And now I find myself saying Pride FC to avoid confusion with that “other” Pride.
