Can google ban me for using divs that are "displayed" outside the visible edge of the screen?

Let us say that I will use something like this:

<div style="position:absolute; top:-200px;">

Can google detect it and blacklist my website?

Im sure they would if you are displaying their ads like that, same thing if you do display:none;

I am not sure if they would ban you for it or not. I am certain that when they crawl your site the will find this information out and will know what you are doing.

Why would you want to do this?

As you see, my website displays posts made by other users. That is why there is no place for keywords - so - My keywords are worth nothing there... They have to match the content, right? And also, I have no place to put my keywords withing the first 50 lines and the same is at the end of my website...

it seems that I have no choice...

And about being banned by google - it appears that only keyword "complain" has been banned - I can't find my website using this word.
