ban nerdstrom poindexter

messi's feats are actually more impressively than the actual figures when taken in context, and this is like that

Lol. I was against it but congratulatins kevin

this was a bad move, guys

peace, man and treeship are on the right track here

to add to it, another issue is that ilx rules are applied extremely inconsistently so the ruling is unfair whichever way you slice it

on the receiving end of the banned user, it appears as if ilx is cliquey and hive-minded, which is actually just an illusion that even some ilx'ers buy into, but it nevertheless feeds into that corrupt ideology

we are better than this

being 51d is not a rule

the logic that at 51 a user is banned is a rule that is actually written into the code of this message board

we all live in the matrix at some level mannnnn

I know your name is my name too but who the fuck are you

i urge you to stop overdosing on red pills, neo

besides i quite like the tribute to american politics that had him a candidate for president right up until he was nuked.

xp v clever, v clever. welcome btw!

happy to be here

ah glem

I like you guys, but this is a bad thread

The ends justified the means.

i say let justice be done though the heavens fall

John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt don't take this the wrong way but are you gabbneb

I do like that name, it was one of the jokey songs of my childhood

his name is my name too

i'm just another john smith

just as average, just as plain

The ciiiiiiiircle of life.

Than you to all my fellow 51ers

can we move on to banning fred now?

Fred's been banned previously, let it happen organically if it must happen. He's not trolling at least

I am generally against banning posters and don’t think fred and nerdstrom are really of the same fiber. fred infuriates me on a daily basis, but he’s clearly a thoughtful person, and, agree or disagree with him, there is at least some semblance of humanity in whatever he’s saying. nerdstrom posted here solely to get a rise out of other posters and never displayed anything resembling original, considered thought. he was a troll and no one will miss him.

I really like Frederik. if you all would ban him I'm thinking I would want to be a part of this message board

*NOT want

amazed I could fuck up a statement so simple

freddian slip

Fred is real. Fred doesn't have 24 phone conferences today but will be posting donut twitter posts passim, no matter the lack of context

lol

If people are going to rise to NP's bait then threads will turn into insult trading and nonsense. No point killfiling because threads will still be full of other peoples insults and retorts back, which means you have to killfile them too, and even then the topic is derailed because the energy is sucked out of topic and into this, thread becomes unusable anyway.

As narcissism lives off validation and attention, only real answer is "is the post I'm about to respond to, actually worth responding to, or am I being had?".

ban me too pls

love an old-fashioned tar and feathering, but anvil is right, alas

the problem with these type of threads is that for the miscreant of the title it probably enables their swilling brandy + cackling like a bond villain/jizzathon stage of attention seeking. Yet here I am irresistibly feeding the garbage fire!

It is a necessary part of the ritual

it probably enables their swilling brandy + cackling like a bond villain/jizzathon stage of attention seeking

not necessarily a problem with this, having a person dedicated thread where the person can do battle with their opponents can be another way of taking that out of whichever thread happens to be hosting it at the time. Nested threads like on reddit would fix the issue better as it wouldn't derail from the content related parts of a thread and could easily be collapsed for people who didn't want to participate

i just want to note for the record that though the message says "banned permanently" as long as i've known it a 51 isn't actually a permaban and will expire (though maybe this has changed and i don't know what i'm talking about)

and i don't think that one disliked poster getting 51'd is in any way a wider commentary on the fairness or not of "the system" any more than a guilty person getting convicted is a commentary on the fairness of the justice system

that said i do think the "system" works, because the mods are pretty diligent here about issuing permabans to the most egregious shitposters

Telling tales out of school here, but oone of the things I hated worst about modding was seeing good people like Fredrik get 51'd twice while you only accrue a handful of FP's, despite your mewling, telephone toughguy posting style.

FP'd you for that appalling lapse of taste, regretfully

Keeping my opinions about various posters private, I will say that I would most like to ban people who engage with the people they want to 51, instead of ignoring them. My killfile does quite well at blocking the incomprehensibles, the imbeciles, the assholes, the attention-seekers. But then there are decent posters who engage with those I've blocked, and this is what really ruins threads. Just ignore the bad posts! If that means quitting ILX then so be it. But it is unlikely you will change consistency lousy posters.

xp It's ok. I can take the heat.

I'm just off to order some pizzas (in a threatening manner) .

I like Fred too but and I'm betting most of FPs he collects he deserves and the one time (I think?) he was banned he deserved that too.

fred is a good poster and a lot of the digs are based on historical performance and look i was fuckin harsh on the guy back then

peace, man and calz good eggs both, probably a style clash there

how's life/peace, man innit?

I prefer my trolls angry to snidey

I've only been banned once. So far. It'll definitely happen again once the cult of Bernie gets back at it.
