Mod request

Huh, for some reason I get an error when I try to delete. I've redacted the content for now instead, hope that's good for both of you.

Could a mod please delete my obnoxious post with a long list, third to last in the “Guitars, what you’ve got / what you want” thread?

Delete xzanfar's transphobic recent post in "Women in electronic/dance music" please

Just permaban the troll please

I would suggest instead/first that everyone click through and flag the post.

Both.

It's been up for 12 hours. Why isn't it gone?

Literally just got up and seen this. Post and poster are out of here!

Good work 👍

…and good riddance

hah hah I've been waiting for that turd to get banned since his post on homeless people.

Oh god, what was that? I always thought he was a pretty harmless troll who just liked posting stupid list threads and too many youtubes, never saw any actual content until now.

There are not very many mods. Mostly we don't need very much moderation in this forum these days. When the need does arise - particularly overnight - it might take a minute.

I forgot about his homeless post. he was weird in that he seemed like a bot at times but then posts that hateful stuff randomly amidst the harmless stuff.

That is all true, yeah, but I still feel bad that something like that was left up. Apologies.

xpost to pm

xp I think that was his strategy. Post some awful crap that would get one or two people to flag him, but not enough for mod action.

xp Yeah, I apologize for getting agitated about it given how few mods we have.

Sorry!! Did quoted text instead of hidden here:

______ the ____________: Redactle

just wondering, can mods force two users to killfile each-other?

xp -- deleted -- easier than fixing formatting

Thank you!

fwiw i don't think that you were in any way negligent in your moderation. if anything i'm really happy that you were able to remove that post and ban the user before i was able to see it. i'm glad you're a mod on this site.

Thank you so much, Kate <3

idk what the fuck I'm doing, can you delete my three posts\

Meet DALLE MINI, the AI bot that generates images based on your suggestions

got 'em

hey can y'all please fix the spoiler tags on my last post in the 77 trans thread, i wanted to make the entire post after the first para spoilered but i think i must have fucked up the tags because it only spoiled one para? just wanna be sensitive because i'm talking about some heavy stuff.

spoiler tags only cover one para, but a space on the "empty" line will include it fyi

(quote marks can also fuck up various ILX tags btw)

ahhhh that would be it, will file away for future reference, thanks

Just added extra hide tags in the post rather than trying the br tactic, hope that's okay for you.

Could a mod please lock this thread:

As We Seek Moderation!!! In All Things!!!!!! What are Your Reading in Autumn of 2024?

ok

thx

Please move this post Caught, Back, Party Going: What Are You Reading In The Fall of 2024?
to this intended thread: Bowie's Books

Moving posts isn't really a thing mods can do afaik, just c/p.

I don't think the software allows that, but you can C&P it over to the right thread, then have a mod delete the post you mistakenly put in the wrong thread.

Thanks yall. Okay I c&p to the right thread, please cut it and the one below it from Caught, Back thread.

ok

Thank you.

i am getting an odd thing: which is that the literary clusterfucks thread is telling me i am not logged in -- i tried getting an updated password the normal way (via email from stet) but after deploying it literary clusterfucks keeps me logged out and unable to post to it. however i continue to be logged into and can post as per usual* to e.g. the cryptids thread

to be clear i dont currently want to post to the literary clusterfucks thread so this is the definition of a non-urgent issue, but it does seem odd? (everything is happening on my one and only laptop, by design i am not logged in on my phone and plan never to be)

*inconsequentially as ever

(is this an "old man yells at cacheing" issue? it may well be 😔 )

We've had a few glitches like that from other users and other threads - unfortunately stet's the only one of us who really gets what's going on under the hood, I don't really get what causes it or what can be done.

i think it's sorted itself out (after randomly refreshing several times lol)

e.g. i guess i *did* update my password but it took extra whatever to get it stick in the clusterfucks thread?

in conclusion: always try hitting a machine when it's not working

(thx for response: emergency over FOR NOW)

i get this occasionally when logging in somewhere that isn't my usual computer... and yeah doing a few refreshes and waiting it out always fixes the problem.
