Ideas for ILX

vimeo and soundcloud both would be fantastic.

Would RSS feeds for individual threads be a "big ask"?

would be grebt if you could do a threads search ordered by last updated date, instead of created.

^^^^^^^^^ THIS

ILX+

MAKE IT HAPPEN INTERNET 3.0

When creating polls, maybe the end date could be changed so that instead of putting in an absolute end date, maybe the user could put in a relative end date (i.e. 7 days from now)? </provincialist American>

ability to automatically suggest ban anyone who ever posts in a specific thread

Bookmarks that only come up for poll results and not for all the inane chatter leading up to it.

"Find posts by user ___________ in threadid _________"

Would streamline the "fuck you, I didn't say that, show me where I said that" process imo.

I'd be down for that too, but in the meantime, text:"stripper" AND displayName:frogbs still works for me.

sorry if suggested already but I would like something like this for windows 7

a pythonista could probably rewrite that script using the ILX API

stet, welcome to this thread!

I was totally here like 2 years ago

Any chance any of the ideas here that involve code might happen?

• get rid of SB

No way! That's like saying to science "get rid of indeterminism"

• auto SB for anybody who says get rid of SB

i will take a SB if it meant no one else would get SB'd. i'm basically jesus

some of them are already in testing. xp

I don't like scrolling down a thread and seeing thousands of Suggest Ban links, one next to every post, daring me to find fault with someone's ideas even before I've taken the time to read them. it's ugly, it's redundant, it breeds unconscious hostility. why not move the Suggest Ban link to people's profiles, so that you only see it when you click on a particular user's name?

my hostility's pretty conscious tbh.

anyhoo, let's make this serviceable thread into a 1,000 post SB clusterfuck, we haven't had one of them for a while.

you could use strategically-placed post it notes to cover up the offensive links

can i get ILXBeta

what's the criteria for sb

what, my criteria?

dunno if i've got time, Con Air's on at half past 9

I don't know who you are (should I care?) but I guess I want a consensus

I don't know who you are (should I care?)

SB'd u for that

I guess I want a consensus

possible readings

A) no such thing
B) for outrageous/offensive statements
C) for annoying people you no longer want to see posting on ilx

what's the criteria for sb

think you collected a few in the thread about annoying colleagues thread, so that's one criterium tbh

ohh I just noticed Noodle Vague answered one of my Godard questions on some other thread, sorry man / woman / mineral I have been tired and cranky lately a/s/l/?/jk I'll get some sleep and hey Le Bateau Ivre you know what?

fine.

I didn't sb you, wolves. But just sayin'.

I should also note that with the name "wolves lacan", you will have won over NV for 50% already.

i do like Lacan it's true

• a "suggest ban the suggest ban system" button

Can there be a … list of who the mods are

I hate doing this — I'm always afraid I'll forget somebody.

Top-level admins - stet, Pashmina
Shadowy rarely-encountered codemeister - Keith
sitewide mods - jjjusten, MattDC, electricsound, forksclovetofu, Remy, tehresa, Abbottt, me

Yay, thx

it's sad he was a mod

- a list of the most bookmarked threads on ILX (or per board)

Ability to search for "text" written by "particular users"

I often try to find something I said back whenever, but unless I'm the only one who had said it, it's pretty near impossible.

yeah that'd be great

Also, autoreplace of really offensive words with pictures of john terry

ZS, I thought this was a display name/user name combo for a second.

whenever i search "mark s" in a thread i remember that it will give me "bookmark suggestban"

There is a solution for your problem! Search in this format:

"back whenever" AND displayName:"Mark G"
