Flag Post

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'

was gonna poll the lamesters but y'know, FP

'years'

'L'

'_'

really enjoying flag post now. consider me a convert

Is there a clusterfuck somewhere?

was more a general observation

haven't done any FPing in that unwieldy ILM thread I started, although I'm now considering myself worthy of such censure

I there a way to check how many of your posts have been flagged?

(not asking for any particular reason, other than morbid curiosity i guess)

Not no more no

do you get the knock on the door when you hit 51?

There used to be this thread

http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=77&threadid=70310

but mods don't respond to it anymore. And no one will tell you why they don't respond to it either. Maybe to start a rolling FP# request on the mod board.

'do you just get' that should have said

rolling FP number request thread

I've put something in on MRF. Hope to get a response.

Good work

it seems to be broken?

works fine here.

The psychological effect of the name change is amazing. I used to SB 3-4 times a week, but I think I've only flagged 4 or 5 posts since the change.

yeah, I think the term "flag post" is unfortunate - it makes me think I'm flagging the post for inappropriate content or abuse or something. Whereas I really just want to ban somebody for being an asshole.

otmfm

fp broke sb and it needs fixed pronto imo

what, is there some kind of action going on around here?

how hard it can be to just go and find a post where a poster is acting like an asshole if you actually believe they are an asshole

i use 'flag post' more than ever and i encourage everyone to do the same.

my mind is a little blown by the fact that people are actually complaining about this

how did being suggest banned affect your posting frogbs

preach

At this stage there isn't too much point in arguing about it as it doesn't seem like it's going to get reversed ever. But my main issue with FP is that it doesn't work. SB worked - people who were really being jerks were temp-banned. Since the switch to FP, I don't think anyone has actually been temp-banned based off the FPs (maybe one or two? I can't think of anyone though). And it's not like people coincidentally just stopped being jerks when the switch happened.

it didn't, it just made me dislike certain posters

The name is kinda nonsensical given that only the first one counts for anything. "Flag this post for moderation" - this is not what is happening at all, seems weird to lie about it. If the system changed in any way I could see it making sense, and possibly being useful/better than sb.

this has been addressed so many times

yes but for example whereas you once spoke jocularly about using the word 'faggots' in your collegiate radio show, probably one of the things that got you banned, the last time it was brought up you were at pains to mitigate this and expressed regret about the whole episode

and that has nothing to do with sb?

This has never stopped anyone before.

It's Friday and I'm bored and I'm ready to argue about SBs and FPs.

i know we've had this exact argument upthread but i still maintain that this is the case

lol it is like the best time killer

I'm now in favour of FP. The name entirely makes it, IMO. I say this as the site's most-SB'd individual

I also think that personally I needed to be SB'd a few times to get me to revise my posting style
