thanks, loving your work - let's keep collaborating!

maybe we could come up with a format of discussing discographies that's less labor intensive than listening threads and artist polls

talking about specific songs rule but ratings and completism both seem obsolete

S/D
classic or dud
TD: x vs y

POX

haha, indeed

I was thinking of something with a kind of rollout though, where everybody would discuss the same songs... I guess maybe the poll format is the best for this...

some of the s/d c/d threads are really great but ime the POX format doesn't invite much discussion

A wiki for poll results

max of five posts a day

min of 20 words per post

minimum 1500 karma points to post

there are lots of ilxors whose posts wld be greatly improved by condensing them to under 20 words

isn't this what people were doing on the Eagles/Elton/Joel threads?

I really need a "flag every poster who posted to this thread" button. it is extremely time-consuming to click and confirm individual posts when it should be obvious that everyone on certain threads is a terrible idiot who needs to be tempbanned.

auto-bookmark any thread you post to

Then 3 or 4 of you would have every single thread bookmarked.

haha

a "steam-whistle" feature that locks Tombot out of any thread in which he's shouting at ppl, for 23 hours

a script that threadbans Morbs automatically whenever he posts "bye"

"liking" posts, but only for estela

feel like if we paid a giant multinational consultancy firm $200k to review ilxor.com these are p much exactly the recommendations they would make

they are good tho

Beatles forum. Quarantine it

a script that threadbans Morbs automatically whenever he posts "bye"

a) lol

b) he has already posted three more times in that thread, c'mon Keith or stet

A system that automatically FPs anyone who posts in this thread about another named poster

just protecting yr blood pressure bb

i'm tired of people freaking out every time the Vera Lynn thread pops up on sna. when you bump a thread about an old or infirm celebrity, you should have the option of appending a flair to the thread title to denote the person's vital status ("RIP big man 1919-2018" vs "bih u appalling neocon pos" vs. "still alive!")

the script should instead require that whenever morbs has posted "bye" to a thread, his next post must start with "hi! I'm back again."

lol

Could we get a checkbox that'd optionally allow a user to sanitize a thread title if it contains profanity? That way I can finally load Star Wars threads at work! (Not that I ever would, mind.)

Quiting your job seems the easiest way to deal with this tbh

There must be some browser extension that edits out profanity?

That would only sanitize what the browser displays, after the page has been requested and loaded through the company servers.

i may be alone in this but i wish there were a way to disable seeing twitter embeds

I would like that too

Being able to hide threads would be amazing

also to disable twitter

i left twitter and stayed on ilx for a reason

i would also like to never read the president's opinion on anything ever again

otm

Maybe extend the Washington redskins feature to trump tweets.

Damnit does that not work any more.

here's an idea for ilx, kick whoever killed the hatcat autoreplace down the stairs

ppl w images turned on are disgusting savages iirc

Is there a way to turn off text and just have images? I'd use that.

Abilty to pipe in an audio feed (something like HTTP Live Streaming), and every logged in user on ILM threads would see a tiny discreet play button to optionally listen to it.

(shouldn’t cost any bandwidth if it just a referral to the stream URL)

Can we have a board-specific random threads feature?

yessss

darragh is going to get all the threads sorted

filtered then sorted

then lightly toasted
