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?

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

They post here now, don't they?

they can be really irritating, how is that not legitimate?

the ire that tuomas invokes is pretty hard for me to comprehend

in re: suicide by image-bomb: think about it man. you & some friends are sitting at a table having a talk. I show up, I decide your talk has gone far enough, and start holding up pictures I think are funny in front of your face, one after another. you're still to free to talk! hey, don't let me stop you, you're not obliged to pay any attention - look around 'em! you'd give me a suggest-punch-in-the-face and I'd deserve it. most of the image-bombing was exactly like what I've described: "I don't like this thread any more, fuck any of you who do." suggest ban is a PERFECT solution for people who think their having become sick of a discussion is reason enough to fuck up others' right to have that discussion.

They're banned for at least 51 legitimate reasons!

you can fucking ignore their posts xxxpost

or you can suggest that they be escorted out since they are being assholes. it's what you'd reasonably do at a party, and it makes sense to do it here.

I'm talking about LJ or Tuomas here

legitimate by what measure, though? There's two sides to this, for sure, but I think it's one of the strengths of SB that you can't go all legitimacy-lawyer about it. I watch what posts ppl click SB on, and it's almost universally stuff that boils down to "acting like a bit of a dick". For some people that's being creepy, for other people it's banging on and on about a topic and not actually engaging anyone else on it, for other people it's imagebombing.

Instead of a whole FAQ-load of "things that will get you banned", the threat of SB comes down to "don't act like a dick". You can say that you don't like the defintion of dickishness that the SBing masses are imposing, but I genuinely don't think it's an unreasonable or minority one, at least judging by how it's been used so far.

I know I'm being way more irritating than anyone on ILX ever btw

As for LJ: given that he's mostly stopped doing the things that got him SBs, and has stopped garnering SBs as a result and still seems to be a happy poster, that reads more like a success story than an argument for "SB MUST GO"

And it's nice to see that you've received zero SBs for it.

x-post.

Not by my (legitimate) reasoning, b/c I haven't SB'd you.

I know I'm being way more irritating than anyone on ILX ever btw

I find it lovable and have given you several lovingly-meant SBs in response

hahaha Keith!

haha thanks keith that's a relief actually

And it might point out that arguing your point doesn't get you SBs. Generally being a dick to other posters does.

anyway I guess I've made my ill-thought-out point about 5000 times on this thread, so I'm out till the next SB thread, catch u later

the point of SBs is to forgo argument about what is 'legitimate' and what isn't. there are no legitimacy standards anyone is beholden to, aside from blatant racism or personal attacks or whatever else the mods feel like enforcing. you can post whatever you want. you can be just as irritating to other people as you feel you should be. you can also move to bounce people for whatever standard of irritation they have met in your eyes. if 51 (fifty-one fucking people! that is a lot of people on a not-big board like this) agree with you, or did, at any time, that's as close to any 'community standard' ilx is likely to have.

xps, stet covered this basically
