Just make sure you say your from some where else, because unlike the NSA the mods have no way of telling your IP address. Just follow Sumo's advice to the letter and you'll be good. For more details pm ballin.

We call it dropping a deuce. It's when you've been banned for making this thread and you gotta come back with acct number two.
I don't even talk to noobs sometimes. I'll be like, "hey man, go drop a deuce then we can talk."
I don't even talk to noobs sometimes. I'll be like, "hey man, go drop a deuce then we can talk."
It's like Fight Club. First rule of banned members is to never talk about banned members.
When you signed up on MFK, there was that whole section talking about terms and conditions (terms of service AKA Member Agreement)..... it's more or less the list of rules for this forum. Break those and you're warned - and then on the moderator radar. Keep breaking them and you're gone.
Many get banned for being 'trolls' as well - meaning posting random junk just to increase post count instead of actually contributing to a thread.
False.
