+apereira Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I think there was a case about someone stealling TB,coins and caches. Probably that will get you banned. Quote Link to comment

+Pat in Louisiana Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I think I have seen people that just use that "Banned Member" under their name but they are not actually banned or they could not post? Quote Link to comment
+uxorious Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 We had a person in this area that was banned for leaving racist stickers and links to racist web sites in the caches. He also had racist jokes on his profile page. No one misses him. Quote Link to comment
+JoesBar Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 You could cache in your birthday suit and post pictures. Or, you could profess to be the "Supreme Leader" and use the website in an evil plot to take over the world. Or, and this is the worst, tell people how to obtain Platinum membership.

+Team Veverca Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 You could cache in your birthday suit and post pictures. That wouldn't do. Search for nude cacher and you'll se why not. Quote Link to comment

+JoesBar Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 The real answer, violating the terms of use Well, yeah, there's those rule. BUT... (edited for clarity) a) Upload, post ... any content that is..., threatening, abusive, harassing, ..., defamatory,...or otherwise objectionable to any other person or entity. Just reading the forums shows that many folks could be banned. Impersonate any person or entity, or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity. If only they could catch all those sock puppets. Quote Link to comment
