irreversible ban

overdoing it imo, that should be saved for people spamming the board or doing something way, way out of bounds. maybe do it like 'roids in baseball, 1st offense is a month then ratchet it up from there.

to make sure this is clear, im talking irreversible bans from 77, not ILX as a whole.

i think irreversible bans will just lead to really long meta threads, which i personally love but i know the mods hate, or claim to--i think the original policy of moving those threads to ile, or even just temp banning posters from 77, is way less likely to result in clusterfucks

77 issues in general have led to long meta clusterfuck threads, no matter if it is moving threads to ILE or whatever. the specificity of the rule here should make that less common.

So does that mean, for instance, the "dat nigga delmar" poll would have led to the banning of who started it?

in all honesty, probably not, because i have no idea what the hell that was about in the first place. if it was about some ilx poster i have never heard of, then yeah, it would be banworthy under these rules.

dom was just trolling you (shocker)

77 issues in general have led to long meta clusterfuck threads, no matter if it is moving threads to ILE or whatever. the specificity of the rule here should make that less common.

i really, really doubt that. this is the first time that moving a thread has led to a giant meta thread, and you have to admit that at least half the clusterfuck was about making 77 public and not about moving the thread. temp-banning lj from 77 didnt lead to anything, did it? i mean imagine whats going to happen if someone perma-bans ethan or dom or joe from 77, you know?

yeah immediate perma ban seems excessive imo

also, for clarification, is there any wiggle room here at all? if a burt_stanton or captain lorax jr. shows up next week and isn't added too 77 are we not allowed to re-post to something like "this fucking guy"?

also what if someone on ile makes a comment about bacon? can that post be used as a discussion jump off in the fronting about bacon thread on 77?

God this is getting so tedious I'd almost advocate shutting the whole thing down. It's not like there aren't loads of other identical white sub-boards to post on.

(Disclaimer - not official mod standpoint)

I Love Meta would be such a useful board - all posters would know their one stop shop for potential shit talk. there could even be labels so you wouldn't have to scan all threads to see if someone re-posted one of your challenging opinions

"What happens if I'm talking about a zebra and there happens to be a poster I've never heard of called A Zebra who isn't on 77 and I get banned forever for meta?"

can we talk shit about suspected trolls?

good point matt - are we or are we not allowed to post pictures of puppies on 77 now?

also, for clarification, is there any wiggle room here at all? if a burt_stanton or captain lorax jr. shows up next week and isn't added too 77 are we not allowed to re-post to something like "this fucking guy"?

no. this is totally 100% clear, and all the examples in the world are not going to change from this same answer.

xposts yeah like all the other examples you gave while i typed this are also completely clear and dont really need to get discussed.

okay now that we are in the stupdi trolling portion of this thread, are we done with conversation or does anyone have something pertinent or new to say

why don't you dudes just get on some non ilx sponsored forum to talk about ilx people

narutoforums.com

hey mod folx i appreciate that youre really annoyed by all these tedious meta threads, but what were trying to do here is warn you guys that this kind of hard-line stance involving perma banning etc is only going to lead to more tedious meta threads

I think what we're warning you about back is that creating more meta threads is a surefire way to lose 77.

yeah i guess im just not really sure why thats worth it to anyone

no, because this "hard-line" stance is very clear and precise, and as a result, there won't be any long meta threads, because there is nothing at all that is an exception to the rule here, and the rule is something that every ilx user has at their disposal in the search menu like i indicated right up there at the top of the page. therefore, there wont need to be a discussion, because if you post about someone not on 77 who posts on ilx, you get banned from 77 permanently. this is a simple distinction. xposts

some staunch critics of the british 77ers have certainly done this before.

Guys just go and bitch about everyone on AIM chat like you all used to, its not that hard; my god this is the most boring and stunted-growth argument I think I have ever read on this board in the 6 years I have been here by a long mile.

let's say for a moment that you've been talking smack about someone who wasn't on ilx and then starts posting on ilx and you continue to talk smack, unaware that they are posting. wiggle room y/n

how about anyone who bitches about the mods around here for more than like three posts gets thrown in a dungeon with gabbneb, a lightsabre, dr. morbius and bruce springsteen

Tom Brady can't read, Omar. xp

i think the only thing i like more than long ass meta threads are the people who feel compelled to come post on the meta threads to tell us all how bored they are by said threads

max just wait 6 years

not a rickroll but I still wouldn't click on it

is a "meta thread" just made up of inside jokes? never mind...

(Que, I'm decent company in a dungeon)

love this drama, thanks guys

There's no fake bombshells or buffy blackmail, raise your standards.

i think the only thing i like more than long ass meta threads are the people who feel compelled to come post on the meta threads to tell us all how bored they are by said threads

1) post statement
2) lock thread
3) enforce policy

that's how i'd roll as a mod, but i'd probably ban people left and right when in a pissy mood too

hey mods, cats always fuck up these kinds of threads about mod actions with 'trolling' and 'board lawyering' because there's no point in taking mod mandates seriously as an internally consistent rulebook. y'all move the goalposts every other day and make shit up as you go along, which is fine to an extent, better to respond to new problems with new solutions and all, but doing the exasperated schoolmaster act every time is just going to make certain 77ers act like bratty 7th graders even more. as far as i can tell there is no real maturity level or moral standard that separates those with mod privileges from those that don't, it's just some haves vs. have nots bullshit.

god this is so retarded. mods, just let people post about whatever the fuck they want unless its spam or personal information. who the fuck cares? what harm does it really do? stop your lame dick waving.

also does anyone else think its weird that the two most vocal mods telling us how to post are:

a) a dude that posts racist/homophobic attacks on other posters (tombot)

b) a dude that posts about being an admitted statutory rapist (john justen)

why are these sicko douchebags even mods?

sorry, Alex, you were saying...?

!

lol

I do have to say I am glad I was actually off having fun while all of this shit was going on. Disneyland > ILX meta bullshit

sure thing, chak-- i mean dan

I don't really care one way or another whether the board exists or not. The discussion is funny though.

happy robots is my favorite board on ILX, but I'd rather not know what's actually there b/c it's probably just a few threads by keith's friends that have nothing to do w/ILXor

i don't want 77 to exist. i am a (check one):

griffin
macguffin
basilisk
goo goo muck

"the folks who don't like the idea of secret clubs would be able to post to 77 if they want to" is a recipe for lots of feebs shitting everything up.

Rolling list posters who don't care about 77 but frequently post to and read a thread discussing it:

Trayce
Nicole

let's go down this path and see how many people get banned

how much do you really care about neo-burlesque? xp

dom that is the sort of attitude that is causing the problem here

there are a lot of different attitudes that are causing problems here, doms isnt the only one

he is a fucking piece of work though.

I HAVE THE BEST OF ALL SUGGESTIONS

---------------------------------------------

77 SHOULD BE SELF-INVITE

but the invite link should be somewhere obscure - like at the bottom of the admin log

---------------------------------------------

cause the cool thing abt 77 is no nubes - u can start a music thread w/o a thousand blogstans jumping on it - just keep the nubes off

this important concept would render draconian banning policies unnecessary and allow the ilx supreme court to be free of all bord litigation they hate hate hate so much

existence of 77 itself is like whatev, but it is fun when you all come spilling out of your boys fort to DEFEND SECRET KINGDOM

it's really an effort for me to be typing these words, I must really be dedicated.

ice cr?m do you mean nubians? i'm appalled

it's more fun when the mods come spilling out of their boys fort to attack our secret kingdom. Together we be like Little Rascals or somethin

cause the cool thing abt 77 is no nubes
cause the cool thing abt 77 is no nubes
cause the cool thing abt 77 is no nubes
cause the cool thing abt 77 is no nubes
cause the cool thing abt 77 is no nubes
cause the cool thing abt 77 is no nubes
cause the cool thing abt 77 is no nubes

o shit i just revealed the secret racist agenda of 77 on ile :O - damn u site new answers

i too am appalled
