I just want to point out that in my experience, if you want to be
sitebanned from a given game, you can just ask. I did this once, at a
game I truly despised but which a lot of my friends played. I was sick
of being nagged to participate in a game which I had no interest in. So
I logged on and spoke to one of the admins, who was very accommodating
and even promised to pretend he thought I was a tremendous dork if
anyone asked why I was sitebanned. 

Of course, that's really not much fun, is it? ;)
