Several people have been banned from the Big Nate comment section at GoComics for a variety of reasons; here are just a few:
The List of Bannings (From Beginning to End)
Older ones
1. HEV1
Reason: Guilty by association. There were two fake accounts with the username "hev1" and one was spamming. All three users with the name "hev1" were banned (even though the real HEV1 hadn't done anything wrong, he was banned.)
2. Heatman84
Reason: For spamming wordless comments in the comment section
3. nateisprettycool (ItzNateBoi)
Reason: Unknown
4. #Audi
Reason: For spamming on his own comment twenty times to get featured.
5. Meme Squad
Reason: For cursing and making personal attacks.
6. MartySays
Reason: For posting unrelated comments and polls.
7. Boosted
Reason: MartySays second account, spamming his comments to make them featured.
8. TeddySays
Reason: For previously being banned/posting one poll that lead to angry comments.
9. Nate Wright - Official
Reason: For spamming in the comment section, featuring HEV1.
10. Nate Clone
Reason: For cursing with foul language against MartySays and his imitators and also (accidentally) creating a second account.
11. CzwerickiSays
Reason: Posting unrelated polls/previously being banned.
12. Boosted #2
Reason: Spamming in CzwerickiSays comments, featuring it.
13. Meme_Machine
Reason: For using freedom of speech. JK-Banned for accidentally Saying the wrong word*jacking* *goofing*
14. Baby Dragon
Reason: For having a huge argument with Pizza in which each point he/she made was three or four comments long (he/she got 60 replies on gocomics.com/bignate/2017/12/20). Most of the replies were not related to the strip (about Clash Royale and Roblox) and only a few words long. GC Moderators probably considered that to be spam.
15. Pizza
Reason: For having a huge argument with Baby Dragon in which each point he/she made was three or four comments long (Baby Dragon got 60 replies on gocomics.com/bignate/2017/12/20). Most of the replies were not related to the strip (about Clash Royale and Roblox) and only a few words long. This reply from Pizza got Baby Dragon featured: "lol we argued so much you got featured". Baby Dragon celebrated by saying: "our dreams came true and my comment is featured!" In conclusion, Baby Dragon is probably the same person as Pizza. Pizza returned to the comment section during the sarwesh crisis and nobody realized.
16. Calvin
Reason: For commenting "first"
17. Shikarenter
Reason: Unknown
18. MartySays [Christmas Edition]
Reason: For posting unrelated polls and being insulting.
19. Outcastsage9033
Reason: Unknown(according to alexcarey) i was banned for swearing at alexcarey (which the words were censored btw) like f**k you.
20. AlexCarey602
Reason: Swearing, making drama, arguing with people.
21.10/10
Reason: Apparently for being obnoxious and occasionally cursing (according to this person in the reply of the featured and for cursing **** U ALL WHO DON"T SUPPORT GOLLUM as said in Meme Machine's confession
☀http://www.gocomics.com/bignate/2008/9/18?comments=visible&replies=visible&comment_id=23222786)
22.Coldnight
- Involved in the Yee War and a fake "Coldnight.
23.President Snoopy
There was a fake President Snoopy that got reported so the original President Snoopy got Deleted.
24.The Great and Powerful Yee
For spamming and making a fake Gollum account.
25.MorningRat
(according to MorningRat)
I was banned because my brother thought that it would be funny to spam all of the comments with "first", even if he wasn't first. I admit it was sort of funny seeing people's reactions to it, which I guess alexcarey also found funny because he was stealing this joke for a few weeks, but since nobody responded to him he just stopped. My brother continued this for a while, and eventually stopped because he didn't want to get banned, and I actually was going to post an apology and an explanation, but it was too late; I was already banned. To answer your second question, I was not Yee.
26.Kingofderp

42. Mustansir
Being rude. Got unbanned. Didn’t really impact anything at all
43. Miffuwu
Starting a band to fight meowmix and being an idiot
44. Meowmix
Being rude and mean and swearing at people. Many users like mifuuwu and GasterBlaster were VERY mad at this person and mifu even posted a large comment asking the gc staff to ban Meowmix. As it turns out, Meowmix is the sister of Texas Smash, another gocomics user, and just wanted to have some fun with the other users. This did not result well for Meowmix.
45. Texas Smash
Texas Smash, the sibling of Meowmix, was also banned soon after her. Texas Smash was a nice user and never did anything wrong, so the banning must have resulted from the admins being convinced that they were the alt account of Meowmix. (Or an IP ban) more info
Texas Smash was actually banned, but returned under an alt.
Update: Turns out Texas Smash and Meowmix are the same person.
46. Ultimate comic robot
Spamming a lot during the Meowmix crisis (idk what its called)
47. CrossDoggo
Said STFU got unbanned pretty quick though
Got banned again for an unknown reason but got unbanned
48. Syobon (aka Henry Hudson/Woofmix)
Henry had the great idea to troll the comment section by changing his Woofmix account to Syobon and copying everyone's comments. He later got banned. :/ Check Henry's blog posts for more info! (Before getting banned, he renamed himself to "Retired Syobon".)
49. Teddy Square Root Ortiz
He was bothering everyone by saying "Trump 2020" and got banned.
50. BigTeddy86
The "Trump 2020" thing as well. Probably an alt account of Teddy Square Root Ortiz.
51. Moonman
This is GasterBlaster's second account. He was banned after he was trying to get featured to get featured comment a lot and arguing with ZachOWott, Swasimcool, and BigNateBaseball in The Annoyance.
(according to moonman) hey people (long story short) i didnt mean to try and get featured comment and i admit maybe i replied too much but i apologize to everyone for reacting the way i did and hope i could be forgiven,i hope tophu isnt banned because of me so yeah i got banned, goodbye.
52. ToPhu
ToPhu was banned along with Moonman. The wiki gang were attempting to get ToPhu to spam to get featured comment to stop Moonman, which resulted in them both getting banned.

How banning works
When you are banned, your account DOES NOT GET DELETED. You can still login and read comics/comment while logged in but your comments/replies/likes won't appear to the rest of the GC community.
Extra things that happen when banned: you will make 5 new accounts but none of them work, you cry and pull your hair out but nobody came to help you because they cant see our cries for help (well they need to be verified accounts).
