lol @ me being scapegoated for the board's collective anger at gawker
i know that's not why the ban happened but it's why the collective ilx will could not undo such an unjust ban
― mods = chickenshit idiots (D-40), Saturday, 22 August 2015 22:14 (eight years ago) link
maybe the collective ilx will just doesn't care that much about you

this seems like a good way to go about deciding who is & isn't banned...how well loved someone is by essential posters like mookieproof & mattresslessness

did you achieve a level of productivity self-ban requesters only dream of?

lol @ me being scapegoated
good on you. allow me to lol with you, comrade, and if I don't manage an actual lol, then perhaps i'll manage a throaty chuckle and a shake of the head in wonderment at your comradely good nature.

oh, i don't think people would care or even notice if i were banned, let alone campaign for my reinstatement
it's sad that no one boycotted ilx to protest such injustice tho! if i were you i'd never post here again just on principle
― mookieproof, Saturday, 22 August 2015 23:10 (eight years ago) link
you have it all wrong. deej was so far from protesting his tempban or harboring feelings of bitterness that the very instant he knew his tempban had expired he came straight to this thread to let us know he enjoyed a good laugh about the whole episode.
― Aimless, Saturday, 22 August 2015 23:15 (eight years ago) link
wtf mookie we'd riot if you were banned for something like this
but you wouldn't get banned for doing something like this
it's a real logical puzzle so tis
― irl lol (darraghmac), Saturday, 22 August 2015 23:15 (eight years ago) link
is a cyber riot much like a clusterfuck? bcz I know what a clusterfuck looks like, but the look of other one rather escapes me.
― Aimless, Saturday, 22 August 2015 23:19 (eight years ago) link
I'd imagine it to be a clusterfuck that breaches the parent thread if that helps

It's disingenuous here to pretend that Stet is "a mod", and not, like the guy who devotes a fuckload of his own time and I believe also some of his money to keep this place going. I think this was possibly a straw-that-broke-the-camels-back moment after what's been quite a stressful few days when it comes to admin-ing this place. Possibly you guys underestimate quite how wearying it is to have to deal with pointlessly petulant little tantrums like this for a prolonged period of time. Personally I just walk away for a while when I get into that state but everyone has their personal sanity threshold and that is sometimes exceeded.At the end of the day, it's a privilege and not a right to post here and Stet can ban who he wants IMO, because it's very likely that the site literally wouldn't exist without him. That he pretty much never does so is because of the general patience and tolerance that makes him the right person to keep it going, considering previous site runners like Andrew an Graham have pretty much decided to kick the whole thing over whenever it got too much.FWIW How's Life was absolutely right to come down on Deej on that thread, at a time when everyone is justifiably nervy about privacy.― Matt DC, Wednesday, July 22, 2015 7:33 PM (1 month ago) Bookmark Flag Post PermalinkI mean call me a boy as much as you want, at least I'm not hanging out here embodying Matt Dillon in Singles when I am in reality a middle aged dude.― a strawman stuffed with their collection of 12 cds (jjjusten), Wednesday, July 22, 2015 7:34 PM (1 month ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

These posts remain just so booming and oh my ilx is packed to the gills with exactly the sort of whining libertarian manbabies we like to mock on other sites.

― mods = chickenshit idiots (D-40), Sunday, 23 August 2015 10:51 (eight years ago) link
nobody came in and told me 'oh btw if you use j___ d____'s real name you'll be banned from the thread', that's never been a publicly stated rule as far as I know, it's not in the fucking FAQ
― mods = chickenshit idiots (D-40), Sunday, 23 August 2015 10:53 (eight years ago) link
& ffs when it's happened to me in the past & i've had to personally email stet & ask him to edit my own name i figure its equally laissez faire for everyone, but nooo

this thread is a good litmus test of ilxor's political impulses

ya me and Stevie agree on all things political alright
― irl lol (darraghmac), Sunday, 23 August 2015 12:25 (eight years ago) link
kinda feel like everyone said their piece on this and then it turned out that fundamentally nobody gave a shit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
my important opinion on this fwiw is I still think both the thread- and tempban were bs and I don't think it's bad form to say so, I mean the mods to their credit continue to maintain a board called "I must protest", good on them, <3 mods
really not sure what deej is trying to achieve here tho
― Hi, my name's David and I quit (wins), Sunday, 23 August 2015 12:38 (eight years ago) link
in fairness to deej, by unilaterally banning him without allowing him to defend himself first, you almost ask for the issue to be brought up again in 30 days
― usic ally (k3vin k.), Sunday, 23 August 2015 13:38 (eight years ago) link
or email at some point within the last month? That seems to me to be a more respectful & grown-up way to go about things idk

But they are regular posters at least - they have views that I recognise and can assign to them. Who the fuck are you?
― Andrew Farrell, Sunday, 23 August 2015 14:46 (eight years ago) link
probly best if people only use that line if they follow ILX

Taking Sides : that idiot dn vs not realising why real naming certain posters might be on another level than real naming whoever you are vs starting your post-ban career with a cutesy half-real naming of the guy in question.
― Andrew Farrell, Sunday, 23 August 2015 14:49 (eight years ago) link
xp - I follow a fair amount of it, I'm not the mythical poster who reads all the threads, because they're mythical.

D-40 is a prominent poster! For better or worse. And I've got much love for the ~poster in question~ but are we really gonna get precious about ppl saying "jd"

Okay fine - I don't remember seeing him outside the Gawker thread. Is he mostly ILM?
I'm not in favour of being precious about it, but in context it's a gun flash - hey here's a thing I could do again if I'm pissed off.
― Andrew Farrell, Sunday, 23 August 2015 15:22 (eight years ago) link
just search for his name

deej writes and argues about rap, he's been here forever

the search button is at the top of the screen. you might have to scroll up

So ILM, that's fine.
― Andrew Farrell, Sunday, 23 August 2015 15:45 (eight years ago) link
were there a thread of missing him on a secret board, it would be a stillborn thread, sadly
