A clear statement about mod actions on 77

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

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

^^^ are user names like omar's grounds for dismissal

if they are then I'm in trouble

BTW, for those keeping score, not a rapist, statutory or otherwise.

you just fucked up my ILX rapist bingo card, dog.

which i considered using as a new username, but i can only successfully googlebomb myself so much, ya know xpost

yeah of course, but when you're playing at someone's house and they're being a dick, do you keep going over and just start yelling all the time or do you just kinda shrug cause they got nintendo and it's worth the hassle?

cause i like nintendo

test

that depends; do you let them win at every game and say nothing just so they never get mad and kick you out?

xpost

stevie, we hardly knew ye

Actually, I ended up buying my own nintendo.

eman: it's been done.

nicole and trayce otm, by the way. i think most people who see this long meta thread are going to read it and be interested, assuming some shit has really gone down, only to read it and be like, 'wtf, this is the shit you guys were arguing about?'...illustrating the "who fucking cares" POV. i was shit talked about plenty when i first got here and still probably am some on boards/threads i dont read, but it's cool. for the record, i respect yr authority and all and plan to play by the rules you laid out above, im just sayin'.

and you are....

xpost also, I would never let you win at nintendo.
Or more to the point, I think the only mod harassment I've faced in the FUCK five years FUCK I've been here is when Jon kicked me off noise board or when Aja/Dante got shut down. Neither of which really broke my heart; though the loss of A/D was a bummer and one that I'd rather not see happen to 77... and as I recall, A/D got got because of precisely this kinda thread only it was estepato doin' the borad lawyerin' then.

btw who was stevie blue??

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

i too am appalled
