Missin U <3 - lamentations for those felled by the SB

and tuomas

tuomas is ilx's christ figure imo, he can't change the world so he suffers its sins instead

would be nice if he could just suffer in silence, tbh

RIP LJ, heaven be damned for needing him... :-(((

(and as Sarahel asked way up here already, what was the post that did it?)

(and as Sarahel asked way up here already, what was the post that did it?)

I think it would be unfair on all concerned to actually put this information out there, by the way. I apologise if that leaves a big gap in sarahel.xls/

Why? Is it unfair in this specific case, was it a post directed at someone in particular? Surely "last posts" have been mentioned here before.

I accept it not being posted, just wondering why.

a) it carries equal weight to the other 50 suggest bans, there's nothing special about it

b) it's kind of unfair on the person who clicked the 51st suggest ban

c) there's no constructive reason for it other than satisfying people's gossipy curiosity

Also:

d) I don't actually know what it is

Fair enough, I can see that

kind of unfair on LJ, if we're talking 'fair', but point taken.

I'm still mystified that there were 50, much less the last one. I just don't associate lj with meanspirited posts.

fuck this is a magical day

^his final post, 4real

more like tragical day

the timing was just beautiful on that thread, you all must agree

which thread?

gr8080 posted to COGH thread, just sayin

What are you saying? That this was some exchange of hostages?

switch Tuomas for LJ

i'm saying that it was originally posted by gr8080 on another thread, and just sayinit seems relevant here if we're questioning how SB's expire.

Ah, okay, I though you were saying that Grady's return somehow relates to LJ's banning.

fuck this

delete ilx

it'd be funny if lj and nrq got jacked for one final shot at each other. kind of a john woo finale

this is like bugsy malone except instead of custard pies there are sb's and instead of excellent pedal cars there are polls about radiohead

I have a wee question re the SB function:

If you're 51ed then come back can the same 51 people 51 you again? And again? If that is the case does it effectively mean that 51 active users can keep LJ off the board forever?

Would be nice if someone addressed LJ's point re his January total too. It looks like SBs aren't expiring when they should.

If that is the case does it effectively mean that 51 active users can keep LJ off the board forever?

that's always been the case, though, and i agree with it up to a point where mods judge that it's effectively for no other reason than personal emnity. which it seems likely to be here, taking into account lj's posting over the past few months.

i thought that mods had already admitted to deleting sb's for other individuals where they felt that this kind of vendetta was happening?

(eh don't want to be a pain in the ass about this, but even the mods seem to spot something deeply fucked with this)

SBs are not generally deleted if we suspect a personal issue between two posters, they're deleted if there's some anomaly, like a brand new login suddenly SBing certain people, or people SBing with multiple logins. It happens semi-regularly.

So the same 51 people can get LJ banned again and again?

At least in theory, I mean.

so 51 seperate posters sb'd louis in 6 months?

is it even 6 months since his last SB?

(tks for replying matt, i know this is a pain in the ass job every time someone bites a ban)

yeah tbh if there are people that for whatever reason just don't like Louis, then where's the reward for him for toning himself down over recent months, if those same people aren't gonna tone down their itchy sb finger in response?

i really shoulda just left this up to tuomas and darragh tbh.

we have strength in numbers.

Is there any opportunity in the SB system for SB rescindment? (i'm pretty sure I've never banned him, but sometimes i'm drunk)

Probably best to PM a mod. I know I've asked a mod to take back an SB that I regretted. I dunno about if the guy's already SBd though.

sb's should work like bookmarks

Fuck tha SBs
Comin' straight from the underground
Young Jagger got it bad cuz I'm down
With vacuum cleaners, so board police think
They have the authority to ban the hilarity

(translated from the finnish)

lol tuomas!

Tuomas, I would like to point out that you are opposed to the suggest ban system, and yet, here you are, a man from Finland, on this thread, rapping. You see the conflict here, I presume.

awesome work, tuomas and j0hn D

John D, you don't like the finnish rap?

Yeah, you may diss me, but don't diss Finnish rap!

shittiest thread derail ever, even if the thread badly needed derailing

re: the message from lj via grady up there - part of this is due to the fact that i went through several times and policed sockpuppet and dupe user bans on all of the high sb dudes, so all of them shed quite a few in the last few months (and then accrued more). that being said, as i mentioned above, there are some concerns about the accuracy of the early sb timestamps, which is why lj is prob only getting a month off - in most situations, getting 153ed would have to carry a way harsher penalty.
