options for the offended 51

itt a strange man asks if you saw the ass on that one

those two posts were supposed to go in the api thread

Hahahahaha bnw.

i would rather see it gone too, but i don't think it is going to go. therefore i think people should only be allowed to give out a limited number of suggest bans. maybe 10, though even that seems high. anyone who truly wants more than 10 people banned from ilx might want to look at their own attitudes and expectations.

I strongly agree with this idea.

yeah lets start an sb black market

ban and trade

fyi SBs have started to expire. the poster closest to 51 had 44 SBs, and that's dropped to 18.

max?

I bet that wasn't a zing, and was instead an honest and slightly concerned inquiry

ok expiry is going to make a big difference. the previous top three (all more than 41 SBs) are now back into single figures

missed my window of infamy :/

so if j0rdan had held out a little bit longer - he would have been nowhere near getting banned?

haha im pretty sure some ppl sb'd him at the last minute just because it was inevitable & we figured this way he would return on christmas

"we"

not nowhere near -- he had a lot more recent SBs than these other three i've just done xp

the system works imo.

however, i think that when u come back from the dead, you should get to sb people u already sb'd before getting 86'd.

because they all get a second crack at you (im assuming).

i like the idea of a finite # of SBs that can be passed around various users, and you can old spend ones you "earn" but you never know how many you have, if any

there should be a finite # of votes. or perhaps the more people you sb the more the weighting on those votes gets fractionally divided.

i say this because i really dont read ilx or participate anymore. but about a week ago i saw an old hstencil post and sb'd him for a laugh. then i searched for current user names of as many vile people here i could remember. only came up with 4 or 5.

kate was one of them and seeing just now she caught the ban i'm surprised. not taking responsibility as maybe i put her in the late 40s but still, my action had no justification. and i always just assumed the passive-aggressive folks here used the ban function for venal and petty purposes. i'd take it back if i could.

THE SYSTEM WORKS

which is to say ppl who "dont read ilx or participate anymore" are suggest banning active posters!

lol @ sanskrit dropping in settling some old scores and peacing

this was almost certainly me, awesome

it is funny how a combination of kshighway + actually being a good poster have made KK look like a good poster after all

This new expiry thing means we're all going to need to be a bit more carefree with the SBs or no-one will ever get the chop.

SBd you for that

It's been my line of thinking for a while that six-month expiry would solve the major structural problem in the way the SB system works (ie loads of people would get to 51 eventually).

I think part of the problem has been that, simply put, bans have been occurring too frequently. I think this new system should, hopefully, weed out the people that *really* wind people up while ensuring that we don't have to go through the SB argument seemingly every week.

It'd be good if people could see how this new system pans out before getting back into this argument. It's already had a major impact on the complexion of the list and will hopefully work a lot better.

where do we go to complain that poster x hasn't been banned?

i hate that guy

yeah but if he was banned- oh boy watch out for how he becomes everyone favourite poster all of a sudden

here's my q

u can only SB a person once right?

can u re-SB after the 6-month ban disappearance?

y

is it cool if i write a script that SBs my most hated posters on regular six-months intervals?

ideally it would be pegged to their birthday

who r ur most hated posters u can webmail me if u want but not really

i could've gone for a lazy zing there, but i'll just be frank with you:

max
everyone from hastings
cyclists/gays/anyone in tight clothes
the entire country of england
aeon flux

seems fair

we need a suggest ban england button

suggest teabag

gbx doesnt like max?????

this is like when i found out that gear didnt like mark c

was that a secret btw

is it cool if i write a script that SBs my most hated posters on regular six-months intervals?

ideally it would be pegged to their birthday

gbx's least favorite posters have two birthdays a year

a good reason to hate someone imo

i also don't like bikers or anyone from the town i grew up in, yes

h8 yrself, u r max

*_*

two, the max

fu im on nyquil and just woke up from a 16 hr hibernation

tbh i stopped reading your list after "max" to freeq out typing

hey wait a minute!

lol
