Good thread. The waterface=mr que thread is the most energized I've felt on ilx in years, lol.

I also think how's life is a spectacularly bad mod, fuck you and your tone-police bullshit dude. anybody who offends Branwell AND nakh is really doing something wrong. stop locking threads and finger-waving at posters and stick to poorly executed aisle 6 code cleanups, just try not to post any more IPs.

Hi. There are indeed moderators that I think are reprehensible toadwarts. How's Life isn't actually one of them. In my experience, he's been generally polite, fairly reasonable considering the circumstances, and as prompt as international time zones and day jobs allow. And, unlike some other mods, his oversights seem to be genuine mistakes quickly remedied, and he hasn't engaged in or perpetuated lengthy beefs under the guise of ~mod business~.

In future, please try not to speak on my behalf, I'd appreciate that. Thanks.

nine months pass...

I don’t think that’s how the song goes.

I love this thread title.

markers, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 16:47 (eight years ago) link

this thread title is kinda mean-spirited tbh, way meaner than calling someone "chickenshit" which is just funny in its absurdity and impotence

its good

this is a dumb ass move bud

lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 16:52 (eight years ago) link

Why isn’t that recorded on the first page of the admin log? I searched for it and couldn’t find it.

markers, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 16:53 (eight years ago) link

Also, if that’s real, why is that person still a mod?

It is funny how deej manages to come across as such a little pisspants even when he has a legitimate grievance as he definitely does here and arguably did in the thread title that this latest is a sequel to (wrt shit comedy modding)

wins, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 16:57 (eight years ago) link

ofc this thread is meaner, a throwback to a more tolerant age

ogmor, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 17:01 (eight years ago) link

calling someone a chickenshit is actually extremely tight imho

lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 17:02 (eight years ago) link

I like the fact there's a mod who goes by "how's life"

D40 Banned Permanently how's life?

pplains, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 17:03 (eight years ago) link

I think I made a very similar post first time HL started posting.

pplains, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 17:03 (eight years ago) link

I have never understood the level of antipathy some people here feel towards the mods. It often feels a little "oh, there goes mom again, tryin' to keep us from burning down the house and killing one another, way to go Hitler" to me.

Something Called Fudge (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 22 July 2015 17:06 (eight years ago) link

He didn't have a legitimate grievance. I legitimately threadbanned* him from a thread where he was screwing around with someone's government name who has repeatedly asked not to have people play fast and loose with their government name. tbh, I shouldn't have backed down about it, but I was trying to be nice and let him down easy with a yellowcard*. Public thanks to stet though for sticking up for me. I have no idea how this spawned so many threads and revivals full of quivering meltdown, but seemingly that's what happens any time a mod does anything other than fix a broken youtube link.

*not really something to clutch your pearls about.
**another thing that shouldn't send anyone into a freakout.

how's life, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 17:07 (eight years ago) link

You giving someone a fucking yellowcard because they insulted you is pathetic. We take it, you should be able to take it too. Fuck off.

I didn't use j0hn's name intentionally to get him caught up or whatever, I was typing on my phone in the moment and didn't think it through

markers, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 17:10 (eight years ago) link

why would it get you worked up like that?

how's life, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 17:10 (eight years ago) link

Wait, now you're fixing broken YouTube links? How fucking dare you, sir. How fucking dare you.

Something Called Fudge (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 22 July 2015 17:10 (eight years ago) link

I’m not a fan of you because of shit you did to me last year during my fight with someone on here.

markers, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 17:11 (eight years ago) link

Someone got a ban because they insulted a mod. That’s stupid.

messing w the mods is just good and righteous because they tend to be for whatever reason the ppl around here with the least self awareness, and their defenders are of course the predictable milquetoasts

lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 17:13 (eight years ago) link

hurrah

markers afaik a yellowcard doesn't actually do anything

Mordy, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 17:16 (eight years ago) link

um not true it creates a "yellow card" at the top of the screen

lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 17:16 (eight years ago) link

he just seems really angry about something that is just cosmetic

Mordy, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 17:17 (eight years ago) link

Who gives a shit(tm) whether it does anything or not? That’s not the point!

markers, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 17:17 (eight years ago) link

Nor is your entitlement!

stet, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 17:17 (eight years ago) link

can someone give markers a shit, maybe that'll calm him down
