options for the offended 51

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

i don't even know who that is /amateurist

gear? he was a poster

does mark c even still post

markleby memorial thread is a classic, cant lie

markleby in tombot comic

do they expire at age 6 months or is there some every 6 month purge of all sbs? i am still going to argue about the arbitrary numbers involved, also that it discourages posting in general, and that someone could never contribute anything to the board beside sb's. :)

once a month, the fives turn into sixes and then go away

^^^inscrutable

they expire at age 6 months, so there'll be a sweep every month.

posting volume is up a bit, if that helps. also the SB list shows how many posts each SB-er has made; very generally speaking they seem to be given from ppl w/multiple thousands of posts.

xpp

maybe a link to the killfile should be more prominent on the site? you could even stick it in the sb warning page as another option.

can you tell me how many SBs i have? you can post it here.

u have 7

ah ok xps

haha I'LL say we're getting rid of old ones xp

thank you -_-

xxp

which one is ned

suggest poll imo

you do it, i'm tired

Appears as a colossal Deep One, with tentacles surrounding its one tietie.

sorry for custos

haha the first one said eye \(o_O)/

Ut'Ulls-Hr'Her, imo:

A huge faceless creature with various appendages sprouting from its head, a beard of oozing horns, and many reddish teats and fish-like fins sprouting from an egg-shaped body.

shub raggetrath

that is a point of view! xp to dan

one fine custos day all our display names should be replaced with those

good idea imo

Is there some reason why you couldn't see the number of your SBs all the time? For example, they could be displayed in your user profile. Of course they should be invisible to others, but being able to check the number any time you want to should function as a sufficient early warning system.

And taking that idea even further, is there some reason why shouldn't be able to see the list of posts that have made people SB you anytime you want to? Again, this information should be invisible to others, but your user profile could show the number of your SBs, and when you click that number, you would get a list of the posts which have caused those SBs. This way you would know what is it about your posting style that irritates people without needing to make wild guesses or ask a mod after you've been banned.

It the idea of the SB system is to (self-)regulate unwanted behaviour, these two things would make it easier, and they might avert some unecessary bans and the subsequent controversies.

"if the idea"

why do people keep coming up with "solutions" that obviously require someone to spend a ton of unpaid time writing a bunch of code? it's not going to happen.
1) if you want one of these solutions, write the code and donate it
2) if you can't, stfu

"it's a simple solution, someone just has to sit in front of a computer writing code for 40 hours and not getting any recognition or compensation of any kind"

seriously. "Is there some reason why you couldn't..." is not necessarily followed by a bad idea, but only tuomas could phrase it like that.

well, tbf, displaying yr total SBs in yr profile probably WOULDN'T take that long, given that it's information that mods already have access to. just pull it the same way they do

this is like when people ask me lay out some type for them, on the grounds that it should only take me ten minutes. (i) it will not take me ten minutes (ii) what about the 10 years i spent learning how to do that and the other stuff i could be doing with those skills? and my job?

ok if it wouldn't take that long, then program it and send it stet or keith or whoever

callin yr bluff

i offered to disable the SB feature using display:none and caek.css but that didn't fly

eh there's just this weird sense of entitlement from people who think just because they post here they can demand all kinds of technical changes and extra work

critics shouldn't judge unless they make music

more like critics shouldn't demand over and over and over that a musician go back and remix their album and then get all pouty and whiny when it doesn't happen

i give this thread a 5.1
