Mod request

Could a really kindly mod make an edit on
http://ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?action=showall&boardid=41&threadid=104302

I'd like the opening post to have the list of nominated albums to be removed and instead just have 2 links. The pastebin link is already there could you please add the following instead?

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/104IXKSHN1uWxe3MRFy4R5tHEOxLriKoBRKcjCNu_zus/edit?usp=sharing

the pastebin can only be updated by seandalai and he's busy so its out of date and id rather not have to repost another full list of nominations which I believe mucks up user searches. So just having both links seems the best option.

Can a mod help me please?

Thanks in advance!

Good idea!

thank you!

Well now my pic looks foolish

Could I get the giant Getting Things Done book cover (meant for another thread) deleted from the Billy Joel thread?

IT'S BETTER THAN DRINKIN' ALONE: The Official ILM Track-by-Track BILLY JOEL Listening Thread

idk it seems okay, it's not that huge

how will billy joel get things done if you delete the picture?

lol keep it

h i mods, THIS THREAD when i attempt to expand it is giving me a red screen saying 'DANGEROUS" and "Deceptive site ahead: Attackers on www.technodisco.net may trick you into doing something dangerous like installing software or revealing your personal information (for example, passwords, phone numbers, or credit cards)"

which seems a pity, as it is historically important etc -- can ther dangerous stuff be identified or taken out or nuetralised?

JAZZ IS LIKE HEROIN TO ME ! ! ! ~~~~ ILM POST-1945 JAZZ ALBUMS POLL - THE RESULTS COUNTDOWN (now counting top 25!)

^^^^this is still doing this thx plz

this post is the culprit, fyi

on the Houston Flooding thread I've unintentionally posted a linked live webcam image, thought I was linking a static jpg. Might cause an issue.

fixed the jazz poll.

the webcam image seems to be fine atm

cheers :)

Yeah it looks like the webcam only updates upon a page refresh, so that's probably not too bad.

can u set the password for my original username back to what it was before i scrambled it in a fit of anti-internet passion? if not, it's ok.

what is the name of your first pet?

Hi, mods! Is there a way to change my Phil D. to Liz D. or do I have to re-register?

Hey Liz! Yeah, you'd have to re-register. I'll be sure to keep an eye out.

Also I saw that this was mentioned on the trans thread, but people might also think "Liz D" refers to Liz Daplyn, who was killed in the London terrorist bombings in 2005. I was not around on ilx when she posted here, so I don't have the right frame of reference to advise you about this, but using that as a display name change could cause some confusion.

I almost forgot about that. I will change to something else so as not to cause unneeded pain or confusion for anyone. Goodbye, posting history!

Welcome.

lol, just realized there was a previous Eliza D. too! But apparently she only posted on one thread for one day.

Eliza D. wrote this on thread Things women shouldn't find sexy but do on board I Love Everything on Apr 1, 2004

In other words, the only posters claiming male pattern baldness is sexy are two bald men!

Some men shaving their head completely can look nice enough, if you like that look and they have the right-shaped head. But shaving their head is just another way of denying male pattern baldness by taking it all off. Show me a man who is sexy and is "out" about his male pattern baldness i.e. doesn't attempt to hide it by shaving completely.

Male pattern baldness is wrong and should be vigorously repressed by the sexiness police.
Brian Eno is very nice and very interesting. But he isn't sexy.

Brian Eno is very nice and very interesting. But he isn't sexy.

An entire nation of women disagree.

Not sure what nation, but there's bound to be one.

Could you delete this thread: Baby, It's Cold Outside: Classic or Rapey?

I started it not realizing that one already existed. Thanks.

done

hey, any chance you guys want to give me temporary mod powers so I can fix minor text fuckups on this thread as they happen? It would help my OCD a lot.
ILM’s Top 77 Tracks of 2018
I'm an ex-mod btw; would confine usage solely to keeping my own posts on that thread clean. Lemme know?

wd almost respect it if forks used this opportunity to ban all the other mods and rule ilx as king

OK

I don’t agree that “it’s ok to be rude because these other random folks would have been ok with it”

I’m wondering if tlg would have bothered to correct a male poster in such a fashion

yeah this is just what i've had in the back of my mind since it happened and is part of why i got upset. anyway!

i guess i promise i will be less upset the next time someone condescendingly informs me that my metaphors that make sense don't make any sense, after all i owe it to my audience

I read sarahell's point to be more that the consensus on the rudeness-level was mostly influenced by ivy's strong reaction, however who really cares whether anyone else would be a better sport about a nitpicky attack on an earnest post? It's not very nice at all! There are ways to playfully roast someone but that wasn't it.

Gotta know or be friends with someone for that. The followup responses were pretty bad.

i mean sorry i said the figurative language didn’t make sense, thank god i didn’t say the music was bad, we’d have to have a restorative circle

fair enough! here’s hoping for swift healing and no permanent trauma

― the late great, Tuesday, 29 August 2023 23:07 (two days ago) link

Pretty shitty replies.

tbf i was telling tlg to "fuck off" (tlg was not fucking off)

i do feel bad and like i overreacted and i feel simultaneously grateful and terrible that several ppl swooped in and feel especially bad that it got personal and honestly wish we were not talking about this two days later

I believe he is a teacher and it shows because he scolded me for not being verbose enough for his high standards! But there are teachers that post on here without being such rude condescending twats so that is no excuse.

xp feel like overreacting to “fuck off” to the point of making those kind of insinuations remains severely out of pocket

And sorry for continuing to post, I wanted to tell you it was in fact rude and you weren’t imagining it or overreacting. The problem isn’t the people giving you support.

I have no canid in the conflict but I welcome ivy's contributions and wish for more.

tlg did some trolling, everyone told him to fuck off, the system works imho

I made a mistake -- can someone please move this thread to ILE? TIA

thread for underemployment

or 77 if you think it's a better idea -- I truly don't care where it is but IRE seemed wrong. I accidentally posted there because there was one other thread about underemployment and it was like 7 posts long and 20 years old.

Hi LL, there's some codebug that prevents it -- threads can't be moved from board to board without crashing the whole site. Sorry!

I started a new one on ILE with the posts from the other one. can that first one be deleted?

Done.

thank you
feel free to join me in lamenting the cold reality of perpetual underemployment

I definitely will.

Please could my post here be deleted?
RÓISÍN MURPHY

All true, and I stand by the sentiment 100%, but after some consideration I’m not interested in starting a pile-on via a public board (even if the risk is low).

ok

Appreciated.

Ehhh maybe a mod could delete what I just posted in the obituary thread. It’s for those closer to this person to let the wider world know.

ok

Thanks

hi! given she's operating under a new name, could we change LINGUA IGNOTA to Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter fka LINGUA IGNOTA pls :)

Added parentheses including new name, makes it a bit more obvious it's a later change to the title.

ty!

Is it possible to move this thread from ILE to ILM? If so, would you mind doing it? Thanks.

Gems from the cutout bin

Hi (jimbeaux), there's some codebug that prevents it -- threads can't be moved from board to board without crashing the whole site. Sorry!

― The Terroir of Tiny Town (WmC), Saturday, September 2, 2023 9:44 AM (two weeks ago)

Is that a recent bug? I thought I've seen threads move in the past

That is an ancient bug. The last time we successfully moved a thread, we had to have stet on call the whole time in case the site broke, and that's not something we can do regularly. Best thing to do if you realise you've posted a thread on the wrong board is to start a duplicate in the correct place and ask us to lock the incorrect one.

I can't believe no one has asked for the Insane Clown Posse thread to be moved in this thread tbh.

hi! pls can

dltzk - frailty

be changed to

jane remover

as she has changed the name of her act retrospectively, and is also about to release a new album

ty!

Hi mods, can you add 2023 to the beginning of both these polls?

NLDS: Atlanta Braves vs. Philadelphia Phillies

NLDS: Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Arizona Diamondbacks

Thank you!

hiyo could you delete this because s does not stand for spoiler

who in this bitch reads robert jordan? -- The Wheel of Time thread

ty!

Hid it for you instead.

Hey

Buffy St Marie

This post and the three following might be better if removed, a touch too doxxy, with all respect to the poster

yo mods, please delete my two eyesore posts from what do your bookshelves look like?

what do your bookshelves look like?

what do your bookshelves look like?

Sure.

Thanks!

Although now I see it still says last updated yesterday by dow---can you remove that too, please? Don't want to turn away anybody who read my shit.

No, we can't change that. It's just a weird thing about how the site works. Also, there wasn't really anything wrong with your posts in the first place, imo.

Put a post on the wrong thread, sorry - can someone please delete - Lines you remember from a movie of TV show but can't remember exactly where it originated from

Got it.

Thanks!

Maybe please delete my posts on the RAdiohead thread? I think they probably get too personal. Had bad news today and acted out a little. I do not want to be a poster.

ok
