three times more views than any other thread in the last hour despite being revived for the first time in several days four minutes ago

emoji is just unicode and we already support that. sorry Leee. (If it helps I don't think we should do that hack that makes it work on unsupported browsers. Safari ftw).

wtf do you babies think would happen
You apparently have never seen the full power of a malicious troll in action.
atm nothing stops anyone on ilx from going on a rampage and image bombing every thread they don't like with porn images. You or anyone else here could, this minute, start trolling the shit out of ilx. The only difference if ilx were an unmoderated forum would be that, instead of anyone having the power to stop your crude, destructive behavior, no one could stop you. You'd have absolutely free rein to continue for as long as you pleased.
I watched as this happened to the old Ask A Drunk forum when it was on Greenspun's LUSENET. A petulant child of 12 arrived at the forum, was teased, and so he utterly destroyed the place, because no one had the power to prevent him and a vengeful 12 year old with no social life or skills has lots of spare time to pursue childish vengeance.
ILX has no immunity from attracting members who decide, for their own reasons, that ilx (or merely one or two individual ilx members) should be punished for existing and they are just the instruments to accomplish this punishment. Banning is the only quick, simple, effective method for controlling these antisocial activities.
that's what this baby thinks would happen. in fact, given time, I guarantee it would happen.

unbanning all posters would not turn ilx into an unmoderated forum also you say that like ilx has no malicious trolls currently

yeah i mean give people a second chance, if they do it again ban them again, jeez
― lag∞n, Sunday, 28 September 2014 19:27 (nine years ago) link
worth noting too that jw was banned for something actually very funny and non malicious and in keeping w the spirit of old ilx
― lag∞n, Sunday, 28 September 2014 19:28 (nine years ago) link
thats basically not true. And even if it were, he was on chance 9 or something by then
― stet, Sunday, 28 September 2014 19:29 (nine years ago) link
xp
basically, you're talking a general amnesty, and I wouldn't object very strongly if the whole ilx community asked for it.
give people a second chance
we've had people here who were temp banned several times before they were permabanned, bcz they just didn't care about meeting basic standards for behavior. they had second chances. they had third chances. seems to me like they earned their permabans honestly.

yall a bunch of fascists
― lag∞n, Sunday, 28 September 2014 19:46 (nine years ago) link
btw, as a moderator on another forum, I understand that moderating takes time, effort and commitment, and ilx, being much, much larger than the forum I help to moderate, takes far greater commitments than I would ever be willing to make.
the stress of trying to balance whether a particular post or poster has crossed a line, or merely come near it, or if the poster has come too near that line far too often, or if this one instance should be handled with a private warning or a temp ban or a permaban is plenty difficult enough. doing it in consultation with other mods, who are also making delicate judgments of a similar sort is, if anything, even harder, because moderator harmony requires a certain consensus to evolve. once a permaban has been issued, I'm pretty sure the mods would not relish the idea of going through all that decision making all over again, just so someone who failed repeatedly to learn lessons can come back and try to figure out what is a zing and what's just terrible behavior.
what's the upside?

ILX how can I write a holy litany in your silly mood? ILX Sacco & Vanzetti & Passantino must not die ILX I am the Scottsboro boys. ILX you don're really want to go to war. ILX this is quite serious. ILX this is the impression I get from looking in the television set. ILX is this correct? I'd better get right down to the job. It's true I don't want to join the Army or turn lathes in precision parts factories, I'm nearsighted and psychopathic anyway. ILX I'm putting my queer shoulder to the wheel.
