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

plus ethan who opted to not return xp

and dom sort of

o rite

dom (controversial...)

xps

surely stanton has returned tho, under a new name?

3 suspected trolls, 1 occasional concern troll, 1 nudge nudge wink wink brit, 4 controversial yet beloved regs, 1 controversial and unloved reg

Bimble?

bimble was mod-banned iirc

yes but the concept is that suggest bans are suppose to reduce board drama. but they don't; they just deprive interesting people of the privilege to post because some people can't take their personalities for some weird reason.

I disagree with this - I think people are a lot less aggro with each other now than they were a year ago. You're kind of painting everything in a very favorable light - "people can't take their personalities" = "people don't like being called names and spoken to abusively & hounded from threads & trolled relentlessly" etc. I understand that your position is "if a person can't stand the heat, he should get out of the kitchen," but you have got to understand, don't you, that not everyone shares your survival-of-the-most-aggro view?

Not trying to be combative with you, I dig you & respect your position, it just seems like your vision of how ilx ought to work is distinctively yours - for me, it seems clear that things are less unwelcoming than they were, and I view this as a positive development

1 nudge nudge wink wink brit

why single out from contro-beloved regs?

Dom could have been banned without the suggest ban system.

if that's who you're talking about, j0hn

who are you talking about Crut among the SBd that you can only see "weird reasons" for not wanting them to behave the way they did?

I mean there are always exceptional cases, but:

gabbneb
morbs
tuomas
LJ
deeznuts
burt stanton
capn lorax
ade

these people were never really abusive

xpost!

The problem is many of us have stayed on the board for 6 years or more w/out paying thorough attention to all this micromanagement, and we didn't get the memo that a cadre of reformers was changing the ILX cultcha.

Dude how can you be a place SIX YEARS and not notice any changes?

Crut deeznuts was abusive and a pervy fuck to me on and off board.

half of them had it coming and the other half, well, i disagree but i can see why people might click SB

these people were never really abusive

ok lol get the fuck out

Crut deeznuts was abusive and a pervy fuck to me on and off board.

oh

lorax has done his share of pervertalizing posts that got deleted too

gabbneb
morbs
tuomas
LJ
deeznuts
burt stanton
capn lorax
ade

And Jesus how many people from this list are back right now!

Answer = ALMOST ALL OF THEM.

tuomas still probably the least abusive ilxor (along with ned i guess)

Abbott, did i say ANY changes?! i meant formal, decided-upon, here's-how-we're-running-things changes.

The bulk of the unbanned people didn't show up immediately banging pans with conspiratorial complaints of some six-year coup that has been boiling in the underbelly of ILX h8rdom behind everyone's backs.

Morbs all the threads about new mods, SB systems, whatevs were classic clusterfucks that wld be pretty damn hard not to notice!

why was ethan suggest banned exactly

Ask 52 people!

I just did.

went on an image-blast suicide-by-SB iirc.

why is that bannable behavior

ethan doesn't seem to mind it, from what i hear.

why does shooting yourself in the head cause you to be dead?

what about imagebombing is inherently "suicide by SB"

Are we just mad that SBs have taken away the name of a strawman to type in all caps?

btw is it possible to have all the sbs I did removed? I did not actually realise what it meant when I used it, except in the case of Vision (this is the only one I remember doing and possibly the only one I actually did but definitely the only one I would stick by, doubt he'll be back to troll again tho)

Guys how did any of you not know what wld happen if you used a suggest ban?

The message that comes up when you click Suggest Ban is:

Please be aware that by confirming this action, you are registering your wish to see this user removed from the site.

NOT

Lols!

Seriously, Crut? imagebombing pisses ppl off to high fuck. You suddenly go on an imagebombing (or a "I've got a hot chick waiting" posting) rampage even in the non-SB era and you're looking at some sort of ban.

Abbott, BECAUSE WE JUST SAW A THING THAT SAID "SUGGEST BAN," DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS A NUMBER TO BE REACHED, ETC. Why do you assume everybody who is not jaymc knows everything about this place?

Morbs all the threads about new mods, SB systems, whatevs were classic clusterfucks that wld be pretty damn hard not to notice!

If you want no part of em, it's easy.

hey mods how many SBs do i have?

You said you knew about it anyway, through whatever Cassandra you were talking to at 77; you can't play ignernt here.

xp

Seriously, Crut?

Seriously, Stet. I never knew imagebombing was on the same level as making pervy comments on and offboard.

I tend to be online at different times than most ppl and only really read threads about music so I wouldn't really know. And I thought we were just putting in a request for Mod approval you know?

what about imagebombing is inherently "suicide by SB"

oh come on man. "it's not inherently courting suggest-ban to be incredibly disruptive"? really?

Abb, that was in the last month! Before that I was happily ig'nant.

Crut he was SUGGEST BANNED a mod can't tell you the whys & wherefores! stet ≠ 52 ILXors who decided that was the straw

Morbs you know if you don't know something you can always ask.

exactly, so people like tuomas & LJ are suggest banned without any legitimate reason. xpost
