the finest of display names only

a) how about maybe uh trying not to be a jerk in general about shit on 77?
b) i made it completely clear like earlier today that he wasn't on 77 on the unfinest thread, which both of you obv read.

eh fuck it, im moving both threads to ILE at which point since theres no meta snarkiness there shouldn't be any issue with peeps in general seeing whats on here right?

well yeah tbh

the least disruptive move woulda been to delete the offending post. you lock/move the thread = you make it about everyone on the thread/board.

oh look jjustens in a pissy mood remember when he tried to make all of 77 readable this always ends well

a+ modding

i'd like to also point out that dan perry made the first snarky comment about the poster in question - but yes this is certainly the most reasonable course of action

lets be fair here - this has nothing to do with me being pissy. i've been pretty lenient over and over on these threads about bringing people up that aren't on 77, and normally people take it in stride and drop it. but today multiple peeps just decided to keep rolling on despite me politely mentioning that. and then when i tried to lock it to just fix the problem, it got unlocked by crut. so considering that a bunch of peeps seemed to be talking about how there was no reason for them to stay on 77, i fixed the problem by moving it to ILE. what exactly is the issue with that?

for the record, when John said something I dropped it

also, bite me

it's a dick move to move a thread to ile and you know it - the situation didn't call for moving two threads to ile at your whim. delete the offending posts and temp77ban the bad eggs, mods included

it's a dick move to move a thread to ile and you know it

why?

it's an american thing

it's butthurt time back home

So Kevin you are saying that banning a bunch of people from 77 would be less of a dick move than moving 2 threads that run into problems like this on a regular basis?

god this thread was so much more fun when people were listing nice display names instead of arguing about listing nice display names.

um fwiw neither thread "runs in to problems like this on a regular basis" - there are arguments (always lighthearted) but it's always among & about people on 77. a couple dudes didn't take the hint tonight, delete their posts and ban them from 77 for 3 days, whogivesashit.jpg

xp arbitrary mod flexing'll do that

so how about that always sunny ep huh?
hahaha ostrich hahaha

gotta be honest tho jj, poking fun at a poster's display name is about the loosest definition of 'meta' i've encountered yet. thread isn't really meta by nature.

but really whogivesashit.jpg otm

k3vin, in all seriousness i have no idea why you are so bent out of shape over this - and i am pretty sure this is way less disruptive than starting a shitstorm by tempbanning a bunch of major 77 regulars, esp since in the past stuff like this was supposed to be a permaban, and mostly got reversed, but not always. i decided it wasnt worth that much disruption so i moved the threads, but obv that is bugging you a lot so idk shrug i guess?

to recap:

ACCEPTABLE: Rape "jokes" on a public board

UNACCEPTABLE: Saying you disapprove of the rape jokes on a private board

thank you based mods

"Secret" boards are always, without exception, a wonderful idea and lead to absolutely zero drama.

Whiney, how do you think this episode of Always Sunny stood up to, say, the late works of Ozu Yasujiro?

Say, Floating Weeds? Was it as good as Floating Weeds?

sure jj you had no idea people wouldn't be totally cool with this - ok dude

i'm not sure 'people' being totally 'cool with this' is a big factor in making a fairly un-earth shattering mod decision tbf

yes whiney you have uncovered the tacit secret mod pro rape agenda good job xposts

k3vin, once again, why do you give a shit about this? you keep being indignant about it but i have no idea why exactly, other than a mod did something i guess, and that is inherently bad or something

and again if i had just banned whiney, deej, j0rdan S., and a few others from 77 yer trying to tell me peeps would have been totally cool with that because uh i call bullshit

now i have even less idea what you were "modding"

Why are you doing this instead of writing something for you poor, neglected blog?

mods vs bloggers

it is, in fact, totally bullshit that mods are implicitly mad cool with unfunny pointless sub-fratty rape "jokes"... and only start moving things around and threatening banning other posters because someone who makes rape jokes might get their pwecious feewings hurt that we sometimes use a "secret board"

yeah right, thats why you started a mod request objecting to the offensive display na...oh no wait you bitched about it on a thread that dude couldn't see

thats called proactive yall.

whiney you're not helping bro

"finest" and to a lesser extent "unfinest" are classic 77 threads. why not move every thread to ile, i mean who cares lol? but why be reasonable when you can beat all of 77 with the same stick, right?

i do not think that number means what you think it means

like no offense and sorry i am being flippant but cmon whiney you are obv being totally full of shit with this indignant warrior for the people of ilx schtick here.

you know what this number means, right xp

in short, no

kevin for the fucking umpteenth time what the hell about this is unreasonable exactly? i mean now that they are not on 77, are they suddenly going to start to suck and be no longer classic? its the same thing as it ever has been other than having a different board heading at the top.

hope if nothing better comes out of this that at leats unperson gets a yellow card for that horrible horrible dn

kevin you're being very protective of a secret board that now lets everybody in, just saying man.

i mean it's been clearly stated that none of the 77 threads that have legit googleproof/privacy issues are ever getting moved to a public board, but afaik there is nothing like that on either of these threads.

I'd buy the it's all the same posture more except: http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/NewAnswersControllerServlet?boardid=58

well certainly if that sub-board exists then you've proven...... no still not getting it

nothing brings a smile so reliably as a thread-title change

lj i would appreciate ur opinions4u on this topic.

darraghmac that is a curious way of asking me to get myself banned

Today was kind of awesome in the "tell annoying pe

it is, in fact, totally bullshit that mods are implicitly mad cool with unfunny pointless sub-fratty rape "jokes"... and only start moving things around and threatening banning other posters because someone who makes rape jokes might get their /pwecious feewings hurt/ that we sometimes use a "secret board"

What the hell are you talking about

i am innocent, utterly innocent, of the charge levelled xp

wait, isn't this almost verbatim the argument in that biting joeks threads that's now on ile?
