Oh, there's always the classics such as when someone manages to post with their sockpuppet account logged in, thus outing the existance of said puppet to the people of the thread they were trying to use it in. It's even more fun when they leave for a month or two, then come back and figure no one remembers. Self banning goldsellers are fun too "Hey, lets spam RMT ads in forum=3! no one will notice, right?" We had one spammer in particular who kept editing his post to try and get rid of the CANNOTLINKTO message. We're talking 14-15 edits with this poor spammer trying to edit the link enough to make it show up, and Danalog sitting their at the same time adding everything he tried to the filter.
We banned all of russia and China once. That was hilarious.
I get a kick out of people who report that other people are karma camping them, and then I go and check and discover that they have their own ratebot and are not only rating themselves up, but karma camping the person they just reported, who isn't even rating them in the first place! That one happens alot more often than you might think actually...
The Niobia internet Lawyer thread was pretty amusing at the time. That or the few threads where Allakhazam decided to make silly posts (The no N's post being a classic example of that)
Ah, good times.
