ADMIN LOG WATCH 2

lol. "the velvet undergrowl of the movement" was the best.

it was a horribly formed joke, but it was "our" horribly formed joke

excuse me, it's mine

make your own joke

Horrible ILX Thread Titles Like "I've Got My Own Joke to Make"

lol

I don’t really understand british but I think I agree with ogmor. probably the sort of thing that could have been dealt with by deleting the post and a yellow card

Stabbing is considered a form of violence in the UK too iirc

love you treesh but don't be a karen

excuse me, it's mine

in the canonical C&P of the joke, me and Whiney provide the set up. It takes at least two PhD's in Hipster Studies to make a canonical horribly formed "joke"

pffft, you and your ivy league joke degrees you've forgotten the heart of comedy mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

i thought it was still beatin'?

Somethin's beatin

In FP-land

Fuck me, this thread’s a worse read than the Biden one.

Just a bit of "fun"

i thought it was still beatin'?

testicular trauma iirc

a vicious rumor

I've never taken any notice of this thread either though, so why the hilarity?

it's okay Moka only realized yesterday that Ian Watkins was convicted of raping a baby

provo posting

repellent imagery is not OK

per sarahell's post elsewhere

Thursday, August 20, 2020 11:53 AM Site Boring, Maryland has been banned permanently. that's a big no to suicide "jokes"

agreed on the big no to suicide "jokes", an immediate ban is an appropriate and appreciated response to that post

question at hand is does the ban need to be permanent? i think the answer to that should be informed by Boring's history of engagement with ILX, which i personally don't know and have no opinions about.

pretty boring poster tbh, maybe a little crabby

i thought the thing is that all bans display as "banned permanently" due to some weird glitch... so idk if that's actually permanent. i admit to not following every post in the recent godawful nightmare in this thread, but that was one of my takeaways. agreed about suicide "jokes."

yeah i don't know if Boring had previous form, none that i've noticed, but i feel like you could read that joke as directed at the poster, which would be bad, or not directed at the poster so much as shrug at the entanglement of living in the here and now, which is ok a dark joke but not nasty enough to warrant a ban imo

Yeah thats the ambiguity here. Can we hold congressional style hearings? Like the old days?

Their four-month anniversary on the site would have been tomorrow. Don't know if they were here in a previous incarnation.

They had one day left till retirement. Fuck

shrug at the entanglement of living in the here and now, which is ok a dark joke but not nasty enough to warrant a ban imo

that is how I understood the post.

Knowing nothing about boring I'm also inclined to read it as a badly landed commiseration joke rather than an actual suggestion that the other poster commit suicide

Is there some sort of history between the two

If it's okay for Aimless to mordantly joke about silby escaping the suffering of the current hellscape by deliberately drinking bleach, it probably should be okay for someone else to mordantly joke about Aimless escaping the hellscape by suicide

not that I'm arguing for precedential modding in all cases

Huh I'd seem boring posting here and there and they didn't seem real aggro or edgy ...did not see the post in question

Oh, the second season of Admin Log Watch? It’s tops, man

to be clear, as far as i'm concerned intent doesn't matter. behavior matters, and that behavior is unacceptable.

having said that this is a small forum, a tightly knit community, and for moderation to be disproportionately used against the left tends to have a chilling effect.

used against the what

the history of extremely lightweight moderator activity on these boards would seem to argue strongly against any accusation that it is “disproportionately used against the left”

fucking absurd

these recent posts of yours sound counter-revolutionary, comrade

I'm not trying to lawyer this case, but I don't understand the logic of banning the poster because of an isolated egregious post, but then not deleting the post -- why leave it up?

I wouldn't have posted it but I laughed :shrug:

Suggest the mods introduce a “it’s time to stop posting” timeout, cos some of you are really spending too much time here.

agreed but aimed at myself

They had one day left till retirement. Fuck

lollll

Just looked at this user's posts and... they don't seem notably left wing to me. I am an actual communist, mind you, maybe my standards are different.

Anyway, I've just seen the other thread too, checked out the context and conferred with WmC - I'm in favour of shortening it to a normal length temp ban rather than a permaban. I'm definitely lobbying stet to remove "permanently" from the admin log wording, though, this comes up every time.

thanks emil.y!

ok, sounds good. i'm not terribly super informed about this case and i definitely don't want to jump to conclusions. i only say what i do because i have seen boards where there _is_ a hostile relationship between the socialist posters and the mods, and a lot of that is down to actions which are justified and proper taken individually.

y'all want to go ahead and laugh at me, be my guest, but i am committed to continuing to be willing to make myself look stupid in other people's eyes.

I wasn't "laughing at you" Kate, I was just confounded.

Ah, shit, rushomancy, I didn't mean to make you feel like I thought you were stupid, you're an excellent poster and contribute lots of thoughtful stuff and I greatly appreciate your presence here. I think I'm personally just over-sensitive about potentially being considered a centrist when inside I'm like "I'M MORE FUCKING LEFT-WING THAN MOST OF YOU PEOPLE DO YOU WANT TO SEE MY PHOTOS OF ME AT MARX'S GRAVE EH????"

I am not a melt! I am a free mod!
