options for the offended 51

It gets more complex when someone who 51 people think is a dick, is thought of as a great poster by a bunch of others.

not under sb, it doesn't.

If ostracism was gonna work I guess the internet would be troll-free by now.

My personal feeling is that the mods' main function is to stop ILX turning into other forums, and part of that means we need a system for regulating stupidity just as surely as we try to regulate meanness - both of which are very subjective concepts. SB is a noble work in progress that tries to overcome some of that subjectivity. It's not perfect, but it helps.

I feel you on regulating stupidity. That has a lot more to do with my enjoyment of ILX than the occasional dickish posts do.

Right, I just clicked "Suggest Ban" just to see what happens (did not conclude)

That's a very short 'warning' message, and yeah it could be lengthened and made more "You do realise that this is a radical step, shouldn't you chill the fuck out first? Or was it rally that bad" etc, but of course the reaction would be "yeah yeah yeah, click"

how about the 'confirm Suggest Ban" has to be done in conjunction with entering yr user password?

^ i like.

outcome-'yeah yeah yeah password'

Perhaps with password auto-filling, yes. But in theory it definitely is a stronger physical and hence psychological barrier.

Geir is back, by the way.

xp- outcome- "yeah yeah yeah password jeez the mods are dicks this is a pain"

Geir is back, by the way.

Does he know it yet? Are you informed when your ban ends or do you have to come here to find out?

You get a strippergram.

I hope she doesn't have R&B as her strip music.

Akshully if everybody who got 51d was notified by strippergram I think this wd resolve a lot of these issues.

did we ever decide what to do with that extra cash we collected? just sayin, y'know.

ilx sponsored strippergram flying first class, good thoughts

"On the down side, I got SBd for a month, but on the up side I got a strippergram and a 'Sorry We Hate You' cake."

i wonder how many sb's we've collected for derailing this important public service thread.

NONE

thank you, mr moderator. your activities are very much appreciated.

was expecting far more dramas on this thread while i was at the pub etc etc

OMG DRINKING ON THE JOB YOU MODS ARE RANCID LET'S TEAR THIS MOTHERFUCKER DOWN ETC

Nah but we took the liberty of contacting a strippergram agency hope that's ok

^^^

let me be blindingly clear: whatever someone's justification for using terms like "faggot," I feel strongly that people who do so should be banned from this site, and I don't think any justification for lol use of abusive language holds any water. oh no word police!!! what about free speech!!! w/e don't complain about sb if you're the kind of person who makes posts like that

he is a lil faggot fyi

i imagine lamp is reclaiming the word

yeah I wondered tbh but that shit is kinda bullshit anyway imo. hangin out w/dudes who're reclaiming abusive language is v. diff irl than online where seeing that kinda shit is just fucking bogus

language is difficult to feel

i dont know what that means

it's a drop from an awesome house jam I danced to for three hours in '94 IIRC

*pianos*

anyway the issue isn't language so much as its use in anonymous live online environments I think

I mean really Tuomas wouldn't get banned at a party, you'd just keep giving him booze until he passed out, then draw on his face in sharpie - my lobby for "suggest draw on face w/sharpie" button was rudely ignored

lool

"Suggest Teabagging by Sexecute"

didnt really read the thread but ima just get this off my chest

so when i keep showing up and saying "the majority of suggest bans come from when people attack other posters out of the blue" over and over again, you dudes just think im lying to you or what

nah it's just that people are pussies out of the blue

on the missing jordan thread pash cited examples of what a FUCKEN RUTHLESS ZINGING MONSTER he is and then linked to some completely harmless bullshit that only a giant weeping vagina would sb someone for - i dont believe i've ever really railed against sb before even after multiple bannings, because my general feeling on it is/was 'what comes around goes around' - it's not like i had no clue what the net result of my posting habits would be - but the moment jordan s was banned, it became crystal clear that the system is i) retarded ii) bullshit iii) absolutely being misused by shartnosed ninnies with victim complexes

also re: thread title, here is option #6 - suck my diiiiiiiiiiiiiick

7) Use the god-damn Killfile!

daaaaamn imo

xp

ED3 OTM throughout this thread as usual.

maybe there should be a built in killfile - a hide this poster button

instead of a sb button

Predict 5000-post "Why Am I Kill-filed?" threads

full of dudes talking to themselves

i dont even know what the killfile is tbqh

I think you need to be running Firefox with Greasemonkey to make the killfile work. I don't even know if it still works at all, to be honest. But it's a much better system than the SB one.
