Flag Post

I just wish I could register a one-time rolling Flag Morbs.

well, it's a full life

I think it's changed in that you need a certain burden of proof that someone is actually saying obviously unconscionable shit - if you're feeling annoyed but there's no post that would convince someone else, then take yourself over to the reeds in the river.

nope you're wrong

none of them are getting removed.

i love all these people who aren't mods making sincere posts explaining exactly how the fuck this still arbitrary system does and doesnt work

Sure, but they count against the posts, not the poster. Is it really hard to understand, I thought they made it clear with the name change.

The trolls will always be with us.

when somebody says something stupid, you hit the button and a stranger dies. no different than it ever was.

I haven't FP'ed anyone posts since the switch from SBs, but I half decided that if I did, I would post here why I did it.

OK, so I flagged a post, but it was not about the individual post, but really a "flag user." I too recently got into a fracas over my objections to a poster's habits, so I'll leave it at that. I just wanted to follow through on what I said I'd do.

thank you for the follow though, really glad you stuck 2 your word.

i think everyone's flag post should be deleted unless they discuss it in this thread

I would like to say in advance that if I flag a post, it is because I thought that the post needed to be flagged. In the future, please apply this discussion of the reasons for my flagging a post to all the flag posts I employ. ty

i flagged a post tnite too! rarely do i feel like individual posts can truly represent my broader objections to the poster, but this post was offensive on both a micro + macro level so i'm feeling really good about my choice.

rated X, rated NC-17...

hey jesse, can you keep us updated on your flag post habits, it's really interesting to multiple posters, we'd really appreciate it, thanks

if only it was as interesting as k3vins dry witty sarcasm and insights into other peoples posting man that would be just the best

hey i just post about basketball these days bro

also grammar, use the subjunctive, come on

good tip. maybe you could try not being an asshole sometimes.

i'm just joshin man

oh i wasn't reacting to your grammar tip, i was talking abt the fact that you are a dick all the time here and maybe it might be more fun for you to not be that.

nah

yep

on the KIP tip, i support your only posting about basketball plan because i hate basketball and i will never read your posts so KIU

kevin telling a poster they suck is better than 51 anonymous pussies getting someone banned for a month

depends on the poster tbrr

i, for one, salute the magic of anonymous pussy

but that's the thing. je55e isn't being anonymous. he's being really really transparent about things.

opposition to sb/fp frequently takes a tone of such fervent hysteria that I wonder what happened to those posters earlier in their lives to influence their views.

Mothers smoking during pregnancy, stolen bike, that sort of thing.

Think we should probably wait until such point as someone is actually banned as a result of this (assuming they even will be) before decided whether this new system is a stupid or arbitrary one but hey whatever really.

why did sb's stop happening when fp came in? What aren't we being told?

Next step: replace Flag Post with Bear Hug

or Destroy Board

Are we now expected to rise to the level of knowing every bit of dialogue that accompanies every Simpsons still btw, Deric? It's a full life.

That episode is like 16 years old. You've had time.

haha, suuuure I remember gags from a little cartoon show I saw once in the mid '90s. Never been a reruns addict.

and that little cartoon show grew up to be Roy Cohn

"little cartoon show" was a Letterman MEME [sic] for the Simpsons early on.

It's fairly broadly applicable to ILX.
