REJECT BAN CULTURE

I'm a mod on another board. The forum's subject is backpacking, pure and simple. The owner of the board makes it plain and obvious that certain kinds of flaming and sniping are not going to be tolerated, and that spam is totally verboten. The rules are posted; they are clear and so are the consequences. I have no problem banning anyone who crosses the line in that forum.

Just because a website invites participation doesn't mean the person or people who maintain it and pay for it must tolerate any and all kinds of participation. All that "freedom of speech" means, legally, is that "Congress shall make no law limiting freedom of speech". Individuals who operate websites are not Congress and are not bound by the First Amendment to provide you with a platform to say whatever you want to say.

It amazes me how often people do not understand this distinction. BAN CULTURE is just as legitimate as any other standard of conduct.

no one is arguing on a free speech basis

they just think that a looser standard of bannination is more conducive to a thriving community®

sure

"Thriving" is a subjective characterization. If the activity on a board is unacceptable to a substantial number of its participants, then it will eventually drive them away. When the number of members who appreciate a certain kind of license,flagrant pot-stirring and hubbub is small compared to the number of members who abhore it, then from the pov of the appreciators they might say this freewheeling content was a mark of excellence and vitality, while the larger number would say it is unacceptable crap that detracts from the forum.

Neither group is objectivly correct, but it makes sense that the preponderance of votes would win the argument, in the absence of any better measure of what makes the community "thrive".

i'm guessing backpacking spam would be more about: hey anyone want a good deal on uh....some backpacks? or something like that.

Try gucci shoes, versace bags and Toronto escort services with asian women.

oh okay the usual. thought it might be specific to the thing.

A tempban is a pretty mild slap on the wrist that really isn't used very often 'round these parts and thankfully doesn't need to be used all that often. There are plenty of places online where people can be awful to one another without fear of reprisal. Frankly, I'm glad that this is a place where wishing death on an ill poster (even in jest) isn't just blithely ignored (even if the ill poster in question isn't particularly bothered himself).

adele vice would have been a good name for scott's character.

ah there it is.

love this:

The script was altered so much that the original writer asked to have his name taken off it; the story is credited instead to "Robin Bland".◦ Specifically Terrance Dicks asked that it be credited to "some bland pseudonym". Robert Holmes complied spectacularly.

i have yet to write my essay on BAN CULTURE as it relates to ILX but Aimless i specifically use the word "culture" to suggest something far more more intricate than the act of banning posters.

thanks for the concern trolling tho

ban culture

problem solved

i have yet to write my essay on BAN CULTURE as it relates to ILX

Looking forward to reading this.

*suggest write*

*flags post as good idea*

I know multiple FPs from one user for another don't count towards the 51 as it's essentially SB with a new name, but can moderators still see that I'm FPing the same person over and over even if his count doesn't go up?

sadly not

thanks for letting me know

:(

*continues to do it anyway*

I was under the impression that flag post was supposed to alert mods to specific posts. if somebody makes multiple posts that a user considers offensive, those flags don't go up?

Flag post is sb, idk how many times this needs said

No one gets banned anymore.we don't talk about it much.

I complain about it a couple times a month but stet fp's me for it id say

Someone should take a heel turn. Just to keep us on our toes.

lucky for darraghmac, stet's first fp is the only one that counts

name names goddamit

he probably would if he could pronounce 乒乓

why doesn't fp work like sb worked ;_;

we've entered the "ILX tolerates fools gladly" years

'entered'
