do other forums annoy you?
two things have pissed me off this week. firstly SoRR forum (streets of rage remake) you have to post ten times before you can make your own post. then when you do, they lock it straight away and basically want every question in one thread! how impossible is that to ever find anything. stupid, stupid idea imo. plus youre not allowed to pm/u2u 
other one is avforums.com which is a wicked forum, im always on it. but i got 3 "points" ... (basically get enough and youre banned) for saying the word "fooked" <-- yes thats oo not uc. i mean, by all means delete it, or tell me not to do it again, but points straight out? moderator on a power trip imo. he said i was purposely trying to get around the swear filter 
only thing i dont like on here is no post count! but you cant have everything can ya. corsasport ftw

i had the mods ban my account on AVForums because it was coming from the same IP as used with another account (my flat mates at the time) and because he had dodgy selling rep i was banned. 
Is a really good forum though, but unless you're in the "gang" you usually get a lot of shite/points etc

If you're going to mention other forums can you ensure that you give a reason and not just call it shite. I would be most disappointed to learn that people were calling CS shite and not listing why.
ps. I have post counts 
Their removal was entirely deliberate.
Do also bear in mind that busy places take up a lot of time so if there's a system of strikes in place mods are well advised to use it rather than spend additional time sending messages etc. and not recording stuff. If they also dealt with stuff outside of the strike system then they may find users go for a longer period of time without being identified as bad.
Edit for Doms point - yes I would have exactly the same problem here. My software would actually identify that you were sitting at a different computer but really, if there was concerns over dodgy deals I would probably go on the side of caution as well. Thank your flat mate!
