Indeed, it's a temporary ban while you go away and think carefully about whatever naughtiness you've committed.
If you don't know what a time out is, you've likely been spanked all your life.

Though, if they give you the option of the Steve Jobs iPaddle, you might want to start running -- since it still has some bugs to work out.

I was just in another thread and there were several posts by an established member who was in time out. His avatar was not visible but he was obviously posting.
I've caught myself getting uptight about things from time to time then I feel bad about it. It's not worth it and other people get sucked into the drama too.
IMO, overall the MR community is a decent and interesting lot. Once in a while there are a few bumps in the road but nothing too major. The good points still outweigh the bad points by far.
no he was not posting. those posts were prior to him being in time out
you cant log in if in time out...i know

I slit my wrists everyday because I got depressed.
Breaking the rules; flaming other people (even if it's for good reason), spamming, not using multiquote, etc.
Think mine was the same; it wasn't fun at all. That's the default setting in vBulletin for time-outs.
BTW, these are the available choices:
I find the last 2 temp-ban times quite amusing.
