I personally have gotten banned. It was for like a week, and I was new. I necro'd a bunch of threads, never received a warning and was banned. I got mad, but since it was a short term thing, I got on with my life. Now I am an upstanding forumer, and things are just peachy. So for those of you who would spam this site to hell, don't.
I really dislike the fact that people would want to screw the mods over or make us work more*. It is not our fault if you can't follow the rules you agreed to follow when you signed up, and agree to follow every time you log on. We are doing the job we were chosen to do, and if you don't agree with how we do it, you should either report us to the admins, or leave the site. Besides, such spam would most likely make it a lot worse for yourself, and the premisses for how the ban is done is unclear ("suddenly" could mean many things, and there were no defining note in the post), you might very well be kicking the other mods more than the mod that banned you. We all work the same stuff, and the others are nice people.
*(I know you are referring to why would account suicide, I'm just replying to the the whole idea of "messing with mods"
I necro'd a bunch of threads
It is common practice to ban to stop a behaviour. If someone is spamming up a thread, it is just as common to ban them there and then, than to wait for them to go to their profile to see the warnings.
@Cenere Agreeing with MRWalker82 many times, you tend to take your job quite seriously. Believe me, at times he seems like a joker and you seem like a crazy boss. Or a nerd v. a joker :P
Anyways... To be honest I'd just go create a very similar profile to this one if I got banned.

You talk about me? Odd. And well, considering some users seem it fit to have to explain others that I am joking, combined with having someone ask me if if some joke I made was real, I guess it's just better to be - serious.

Without the srs, between us we might actually run the forum into the ground...
...speaking of which.
If I were suddenly banned from AG, I would find out which mod banned me. That's all you need to know.
If it were permanent I would have seen it coming. I would probably also get an explanation from cormyn about how making *those kind of jokes* on AG is an unacceptable breach of conduct :P
