If you've been banned from the official forums, feel free to post here, stating reason and length, and optionally your username. I'm not adding people unless they post here.
EDIT: Please stick to the template. It helps us keep a better record.
I'll start:
Username: bkidnappedface Banned for: No reason given Duration: Permanent More details: In all honesty I don't know which reason would require them to permanently ban me and not give a reason.
So here's the collated list so far:
danheeze: 7 days; "Flaming other users"
Frosty: ~2 days (2012-11-30); "Inappropriate Links"
GreaseMonkey ("bkidnappedface"): Permanent; No reason given
HoboHob: 4 days (expired); "Flaming other users" + 2 days (2012-11-23), no established reason yet
Username: StackOverflow Banned for: "Flaming other users" Duration: Expires 12-01-2012, 04:00 AM More details: Posted in the Will the Respone to Hackers Change Soon? thread. After one post of mine was already deleted, I posted another in response to Sniped's asinine comment. As usual, Sniped can't handle logic and reasoning and fails to realize he doesn't know anything about technology.
This was my last post:
Sniped wrote:The botting issue in the prototype of AoS will not exist when it is fully released. Simple as that.
lol. Please learn how aimbots work before making a statement like this.
This reminds me of a quote off of IRC:
<Sniped> if there is no cheating possible, would you need extra admin tools?
You shouldn't make such bold implications, especially if they have no technical backing.
People will cheat in 1.0 just as with any game. OpenGL as a technology is tried and tested when it comes to cheating.
I wouldn't consider idle legal threats as being a "wealth of experience". I've done my fair share of anti-cheat measures, both technically and socially. I have real-world knowledge and real-world expectations about the subject. Blindly expecting Jagex to obliterate all cheating is quite preposterous. Especially when trying to pull a line like "We have a wealth of experience in dealing with bots too.", when everybody knows Jagex has little to no control over the cheating in their headlining game.
Protip: The average 12 year old who downloads an aimbot isn't going to care about some idle legal threat. It's quite laughable.
I speak for myself when saying I don't take a company seriously if they try to threaten a lawsuit against anybody who cheats in a game. If anything, it's likely to stir up interest in people to make cheats as a sort of challenge.
Also, mfw everybody is pretty much reiterating what I wrote in a post, only to have it deleted for being "libelous". The only problem is my statement was based of of personal expereience from RuneScape, as well as public documentation regarding legalites between Jagex and cheaters. Basically, it's proven and factual (although my personal experence with RS would be considered opinionated). That's not anywhere near being "libelous".
Username: topo Banned for: Flaming other users Duration: 10 days (expires 12-01-2012) More details: I figured I'd see if Sniped was reading my posts or not, since he has failed to address any of the posts I've made arguing with stupid shit that he's said. I called him a fucking idiot and told him not to talk about things he doesn't know anything about. Turns out he saw that one. Still hasn't replied to my request for contact information for his boss, which I made a week ago. If anybody could help me out there it'd be much appreciated.

You were seriously banned for joking around?
That was clearly flaming and is highly disruptive and malicious behaviour. Frankly, I don't think a 4 day ban is enough!
Well, it was evasion as he registered new accounts, although someone else (BR maybe?) was one of the first to be banned and he could still post on that account.
