Do "carpet bans" actually exist?

I see people talking about them. Do the mods every actually ban everyone in a thread?

Led everybody on a wild goose chase then just packed up and left Bnet. Was a Mythic Member, now he's an Absent one. All to complete the task. Quite brilliant- mostly because of the ending, but not to undermine the fact that he got so many people to participate.[/quote] I felt quite stupid afterwards....But the OP shall forever have my respect.[/quote]Indeed. And this is why he was good. It was an intelligent, well thought out trolling attempt. When we find out we were trolled, many of us were angry at first at the realization. But then? Then we recognized the brilliance of it and admired/ respected the person for such a well done job. THIS is what trolling used to be. Kids wanted to emulate people like that but most were not intelligent enough to carry it out. That's what started the path to all caps and annoying posts we have today- a lack of intelligence in those that want to be 'cool.' It's really a very neat little situation once you examine it.[/quote] On all my alts I have never posted in that thread. Theatricality and deception, powerful agents for the uninitiated. But we are initiated, aren't we burritosenior? "Fabled Mythic Members". J.C will return.
