Can changing avatar to "banned" get you banned?

[JiveTheTurkey]

I was going to change my image to that of the "banned" stamp just for shits and giggles but I don't want to make it look like I'm taunting or looking for trouble.

*Considers banning jivetheturkey for even thinking about using the banned avatar*

 

[JiveTheTurkey]

Ahh!

 

[Fishaman P]

I've seen many people do this with no repercussions.

 

[DinohScene]

p1ng has said to ban everyone who has "banned" as avatar.

 

[JiveTheTurkey]

Really? Dang then. Thanks guys for the answers.

 

[Blue]

When I did this, my avatar just got changed to the default with no notice.

 

[KiiWii]

Why would you want yours to say banned?

 

[JiveTheTurkey]

Idk, I'm stupid and thought it was funny.

 

[gnmmarechal]

Really? O.o

I've done that once, quite a while ago. Ooooops!

 

[AmandaRose]

Yep its against site rules but i see people do it quite often and get away with it. Someone on the site I know has had a banned avatar for over 8 months without being caught lol

 

[BORTZ]

LOL no there's no rule against it as far as i am aware

 

[jimmyj]

then why do you get banned?

 

[AmandaRose]

So what is it p1ng is saying its against the rules and BORTZ is saying it's not lol

 

[DinohScene]

There's no rule against it no.

 

[JiveTheTurkey]

Geez guys, is this the center of the tootsie pop? The world may never know.

 

[Chary]

It's not against the rules. It just means if we see you with one, the staff will lock you up in p1ng's basement.

I put my avatar to the "Banned" image and a staff member deleted it on me over a year ago. I bickered with the person saying that it is not written in the site rules but I was told that I could not have it as that anyways. I forget whom the staff member was, but I gave up on it. I like my evil DeadlyFoez image more anyways.

 

[Mikemk]

I did that over a year or two ago. I was warned to change it or get actual banned.

It's frowned upon and might earn you a warning (either verbal or a forum one) but it won't get you banned.
