an open letter to the mods from Whiney G. Weingarten

Dear mods,

I understand and respect your decision to ban me for a while. I was unduly cranky to a few posters for a while, engaged in some trolling (sorry, Dan!) and was more than a little annoying with the auto-embed YouTubes, amusing no one but myself (and maybe the rev). I began atoning for my sins a few weeks before i was 51'd (see the hug it out with whiney thread) was was hoping to turn around my posting style to the more "keep-it-posi" vibe ON MY OWN. Needless to say the time off is probably a good thing, and I don't blame you guys for getting rid of me.

However--I was wondering if I can be allowed to post in the F2k thread. It seems weird that there's a thread where people are talking about my writing, and I can't be around to participate.

If you can't tweak the system to allow me to post in one thread, can you reinstate me fully and I'll promise NOT to post in ANY OTHER THREADS until the mods say OK? Think of this as work-release program. I get to leave jail to go to one place that's work-related and i promise not to run off and hang with my buddies.

next day whiney found doing 80 down the interstate with battle axes and an eeepc

maybe we can let him back but before and after each post he gets a badge like

ATTENTION THIS POSTER RECEIVED 52 SUGGEST BANS READ AT UR OWN PERIL

the most likely outcome of this is either:

- ppl will start posting/crossposting comments to Idolator, as I suggested on the F2K thread
- J0rdan or another kind proxy will post Whiney's responses on that thread when appropriate

I support this proposal, but I'm a bleeding heart like that.

parole hearing

it's his first offense, come on.

he's been offending me forever

Yeah, don't see this happening. In what way would it be fair to other people who've just sucked up their SBs?
(Whiney: semantics aside, mods didn't decide to ban you, you were SBd). If you get a friendly poster to post for you on the thread those posts can stay, but otherwise, month's a month.

Yeah, don't see this happening. In what way would it be fair to other people who've just sucked up their SBs?

You could unban L0u1s and confine him to Cape of Good Hope?

no.

it was worth a shot.

wait louis is banned?? i never know

u guys were wasting time here when we should all be saying mean things abt whiney in the F2k thread

not an obstical

nothing an obstitrician couldn't fix

You could unban L0u1s and confine him to Cape of Good Hope?

not until the Australian cricket season starts to pick up

http://www.spiritlink.com/first30days.gif

he'll be back by then anyway

only if he publicly renounces his (Maura's?) Moldy Peaches h8ration on Idolator...via web-cam--i wanna savor the bitter tears of remorse dammit!

what is the difference between a sockpuppet/ip runaround and a posting proxy? i think any whiney proxy should also be banned. this is serious business!

so are you saying anyone who posts something by a currently banned user should also be banned?

KRAMER: You know this whole place is going vrrrrrrrrrrrrt, downhill. I could have come in here last week with a bad plum but I let it go.

JOE: Well let me put a solution for you: do your business elsewhere, I don't want your business.

KRAMER: Oh now you don't want my business.

JOE: No, I don't want your business and from this moment you're banned from the store, you're banned!

KRAMER: But what am I gonna do for fruit?

we should have another fundraising drive so we can buy up like 15-20 copies of this book and mail it to those that are sb'd

who would keep them in their house i would volunteer bcos it would be a good talking point when visitors come by

^^great idea

have you shagged ariane de bonvoisin yet?

so are you saying anyone who posts something by a currently banned user should also be banned?

ab-so-lutely

Dear Whiney,

Dear Roxy,

Why did you lock the diarrhea diarrhea thread on 1p3 iirc?

~Whiney

why does Roxy lock any thread?

http://www.cozykittens.com/Herbie101.jpg

one of my favorite locks

did we ever do a best thread locks poll

xp - precisely - if you gaze into the smoke persian's face, you will discover why roxy locked the diarrhea diarrhea thread.

i need some place to tell rox that this thread:

Now this is how it started: THE ILX 1980s ALBUM POLL RESULTS!!

I don't know what the title is reference to, but every time i see it, i sing the "origins of the addamms family" song from third grade

Do you have weird alternative lyrics for songs that play in your head?

THEY ALL BECAME RETARDED

xp Edward - best thread locks nominee - see today's new COGH thread.

Results 1 - 10 of about 1,190 for "THEY ALL BECAME RETARDED"

kinda think his temp ban was a bit harsh

don't speak of it or you'll get tempbanned

first rule of tempban

i dunno why he was banned, if it was just a case of being overly whiney then it seems a bit much. he does give a pointer, what wth the DN and all

sb?

That will happen soon enough.

from whiney:

I 100% feel like I was temp-banned for annoying Dan Perry and nothing else. I have learned absolutely nothing from this experience and when I return in 27 days, I will continue to post as I always have, even--and especially--if that includes lightly poking fun of the terrible mod decisions of Dan and jjjusten. If they're too thin-skinned to handle that, they can continue temp-banning me and everyone until ILX is the boring cuddle party they so clearly desire.

plz point out where i was wrongly characterizing whiney in this quote

I'd like to point out, just for the point of talking you understand, that as far as I can tell Whiney made like 3 posts about mods/rape/unperson's screen-name. Calling it "going on for the last week" isn't exactly accurate, I don't think.

j0rdan that might have been a bad system game tho because this is whineys 2nd sb which is supposed to be a 60 day ban.

you will rue the terrible day whiney returns to speak the truth before the ppl

nah, it was to prevent him from possibly serving concurrent sentences

...

Did you mean "consecutive"? Because otherwise you are still not making any sense.

yeah, consecutive

only whiney could parlay a 3 day ban into a 63 day ban, I gotta admit the guy goes big

j0rdan that might have been a bad system game tho because this is whineys 2nd sb which is supposed to be a 60 day ban.

well at that point it had been established that neither l0u1s jagg3r nor kate served 60 days

plz point out where i was wrongly characterizing whiney in this quote

i didn't realize that whiney had made a specific note about you guys in his letter

This is only Whiney's 2nd sb? for real?

:3

Well actually what Sarahel did was revive this thread to say the temp ban was harsh and THEN go and read the Rollins thread to find out why he was tempbanned. Disingenuous as hell.

― Matt DC, Thursday, November 4, 2010 3:15 AM (8 hours ago)

I beg your pardon, what? This came up on a different thread, and Dan had said that basically Whiney got banned for pissing him off. I understand the increasing length of temp ban thing that's built into the system, and that that's why it was 27 days, but not overriding the system, which Dan has done in the past, seemed harsh.

When did omar little become such a policy lovin pussy? shameful, bro.

we're all rollins imo

Wait who cares if I registered today and asked for an invite? What exactly are you guys protecting? So I have to like know some of you guys personally if I want to read the super secret elite board everyone talks about?

― the questeon, Wednesday, September 29, 2010 4:55 PM

it's just kinda hard to have a rational discussion with mods about this kinda thing, when it feels like, as a poster, when you do bring stuff up, you get accused of "meta snark" or "concern trolling" or have your motives questioned. It's kinda the equivalent of when posters accuse mods of conspiring or all posting from the same slumber party.

oh shit i misread the questeon as "the question"!

i <3 the questeon

where was all this mods rapey stuff going on, obviously thats uncool but i didnt see it at all which is why i was all why did whiney get banned

When did omar little become such a policy lovin pussy? shameful, bro.

it is a message board on the internet, i think it's all lol

some of you people seem to think this is actually important, which is more lol

whiney will be back soon, ready to roll. he's probably out there enjoying the lovely nyc weather, having a break from the ilx lyfe.

it is important enough to discuss on a message board on the internet

it's good times

so, will Whiney get unbanned after his 30 days for being sb-ed are over, or what?

http://i56.tinypic.com/ao5g21.gif

frankly most of the mods have been on this thread so we havent really discussed it yet

this is whineys 2nd sb which is supposed to be a 60 day ban.

he can make a plea for leniency but his cotton mather act might put a kink in those plans

thanks, jjj - i know i've trolled you in the past, but i appreciate your transparency and candor in mod-related issues.

whiney is always a hard case to defend in board lawyering

compared to cankles?

madoff vs manson

mods should have a pre-determined annual bank of ban days for whiney and just use a few up whenever he is overheating.

maybe we should put these bans in some kind of lockbox

whiney is the bob probert of ilx, his job simply involves spending a decent amount of time in the penalty box.

That is such blasphemy.

Ty Domi, maybe.

an open letter to the mods from Whiney G. Weingarten

my "i'm only gonna come back stronger" post was made when I was under the assumption that I was banned for 27 days over pointless, arbitrary dan perry beef. If it was a three-day comedy ban, I would have honestly laughed along with Dan about the whole thing. However I will gladly take my democratically decided 30-day 51-suggban sentence like a man, as it is clearly what the people want.

Also, sincere, non-snarky apology to Abbbott or if anyone who got legitimately offended by my 2 or 3 posts re mod/rape/phil. It was an admittedly dickish way to point out what I felt was a hypocrisy of mod action being "ruin the best thread on 77" instead of "confront a dude about his rapey display name."

That is all.

had subway for lunch in his memory

drowned a doe eyed girl while sobbing uncontrollably

pulled out the tablecloth and upset the pussy buffet

wrapped a keffiyeh around a puppy's neck

argued with a mod today in his memory

OK, cool, everybody seems to have successfully had their say, so --
