is banning posters for beefing with mods really what we want to do?

everyone has a price on their head. much better than FP

some sort of bidding system im thinking cld work

i mean i didnt look to see the exact rate but why wouldnt i roughly know the forex for usd/gbp? now im offended

honestly its probably not worth to spend fifteen hundred bucks but a) i feel bad that stet has to spend money on ilx and b) no one wld tell me what coffee beans are best to buy so ive just got money sitting around anyway

lol

lol

i support the plan of lamp paying 1k pounds to stet for temporary banning powers for a month but i think that in case he goes drunk w/ power and bans everyone turning the board into a desolate wasteland for a month it should be limited to like maybe... 50 temp bans total. who knows maybe new lamp-style ilx is so compelling that board decides to never go back and makes those temp bands permanent.

omg i told u guys to school lamp on beans, see what happens

I am disgusted by the very suggestion

Stet at ilxor dot com

my b

lol stet

you could also sell people their own subboards, what if lamp got a private subboard for $1.5k

i too feel bad that stet is into ilx for that much $ and would welcome another fundraising activity to help solve that. i don't even want to ban anyone. (i mean i do, but i'm not making it a condition)

im assuming stet is just letting the debt build up then will reconcile it with the annual drive?

tho maybe its better to let the drive go on longer this time so theres a war chest and stet wont have to be loaning ilx money

could be! i wasn't sure if it was other expenses or expenses that had been out there for a while aside from the annual hosting stuff.

man if we started a bounty list on ilxors ppl would be outdoing themselves to get top 3 by $

now it's clear that deej has only been tempbanned the stakes seem a lot lower. if the initial threadban was a misunderstanding then doubling down & banning him for being annoyed does not seem like a v dispassionate decision. must be the weather. suspect he dgaf what I think but how's life has conducted himself well under fire imo

as he's being maligned by fools I wld like to say that deej has some of the best ears on ilx & his way of thinking through things makes him one of the most valuable posters

agreed

gentle friends

o gentle friends

Lamp the best coffee beans are from Monkey & Son fwiw

now it's clear that deej has only been tempbanned the stakes seem a lot lower.

is it still a month tho cmon

Remember when google tried to censor the loverboy thread.

lovin every minute of it

xp that thread is still deleted afaict, such a travesty

my takeaway from ogmor's post is deej has nice ears

Funding: wish id planned it as well as that.

Basically I didn't run the 2014 drive because had just had a kid and was too busy and hoped the ads would cover it. Ads have indeed helped some, but not enough so I just whacked the last renewal on my c/c until I had time to set something up.

So it's totally my own fault that I'm out of pocket but in my defence the drives are pretty involved to run and also babies are a total time suck. Ban stet.

wld it be possible to hand the fundraising stuff off to someone else

just catching up with this thread and while i can't second lagoon's personal animosity towards stet i do think his basic point, that despite the hard work he's put in we needn't necessarily blindly accept any decision stet or other mods/admin make, is worth asserting. i more or less said this earlier:

yeah i mean, ultimately stet answers to no one. i assume he'd at least be interested in the thoughts of the people on the board tho

stet has said he is, which is nice to hear. as of yesterday at least there seemed to be a strong consensus that a 30-day ban was excessive, for whatever that's worth

i didn't notice a strong consensus. maybe do a poll

Hand everything over to baby stet.

wd vote for paroling deej

Hand everything over to baby stet.

Ah cool so ILX is a monarchy awesome

this entire thing is a scheme for me to steal the ilx funding $$ btw, i was jordans source

i got 30 days for calling the FLOTUS a name

(followed by the lashing-out of 51 simpletons)

the system works

getting fped is diff than mod banned got to accept the 51

(im sure ive argued against 51 many times on this bord dont bother to search)

no one wld tell me what coffee beans are best to buy so ive just got money sitting around anyway

yeah i am cool with just doing the fundraising again and letting you keep the leftover

stet keeps 50% of the leftover the rest is split between the posters with the most fps

just catching up with the latest developments in this thread but this is otm

fucking teal & orange

lol

my biggest beef w stet is prob that he permabanned jw for doing joke hacking fwiw,

Wait what!? This is fucking stupid. Are you defending someone who put the security of the whole server at risk, because what the hell, you go try that on reddit or Disqus or somewhere and see how far "lol its just a joke hack" gets you, I'm sure u will do well.

2nd only ever FP ive done btw, wear it with pride.

omg he only put a funny lil song on ppls page, it was funny and good, also was acceptable behavior pre switchover

i mean its good to have more of a sense of humor than redit

that wasn't what got him banned. Some of his CSS bombs are still there, waiting to explode! The problem was he was - repeatedly - taking advantage of security holes for hijinx, and defending it on the grounds that security holes just had to be exposed. We'd asked him a few times to be constructive and tell us about bugs he found rather than being all "Keith you suck have you even read the regex book here look at what I can do to mess with you now" and he never would because he was Loki or some shit.

The last straw was when he used the feature-not-a-bug of admins being able to post any html they want in yellow-cards to hassle a couple of posters, destroy the admin log and cause a general freak-out, the fallout from and cleanup of which took up a chunk of my holiday -- I was trying to fix that one from the airport bus, ffs -- and also cost a chunk of Keith's billable time.

Allowing someone here who just wants to fuck with stuff and repeatedly didn't care how much grief it caused people left me not seeing the funny side.

yeah i mean banning him is fair but not forever imo, as ive said before he has totally matured and shd be allowed back imo
