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

sb'd u 4 that

id like everyone who sb me to send me a note y then when i eventually (lol) get sb'd ill make a HAUL vid reading each of them aloud to the camera and put it up on youtube

now we're talkin and then everybody who posts in the comments section must also post their own individual sb #s and people must give them thumbs up or thumbs down

tbh ive trolled the youtube thumbs on more than one occasion

dude I strongly feel that the best comedy to be had in these times lies in the fertile compost of the youtube comments sections

also tbh have also thus trolled, it can't be helped

Tuesday, September 22, 2009 2:30 AM Site candice spergin (cankles) has been banned permanently. 52 suggest bans

Permanently? I thought "Suggest Ban"-related bans were temporary.

(Just curious, anyway)

the admin log always adds "permanent" when someone is sb'd because in the system it is permanent (the unbans are manual intervention)

how long is he banned for?

This is the second time he was SBed, wasn't it? As far as I know there's no clear policy what happens when someone gets SBed twice. Or maybe the mods could tell us if there is a policy?

I've tried searching to no avail - how long does it take for sb's to expire?

only temp bans expire. mod bans and sbs are "permanent" until the mods agree to let someone back in

if you're talking individual sb's i think stet or keith said one year, but then it seems like they said somewhere else that it was 6 months

i'm asking about individual sb's, yes ... as well as whether someone would be let back in if they got 51-ed twice.

(the neb)

the theory is that each sb would result in a longer suspension. i think the first one is supposed to be 30 days.

but how long is the 2nd one? or is it permanent?

there aren't really any rules, it's only happened once

Somone needs to write a policy on this and put it in a FAQ somewhere if only so ppl know the score and this conversation doesn't need to keep happening. You know? Mods can you please make that happen. It seems fair that such a thing should exist tbh.

I'm totally serious btw. Too much confusion and clusterfuck around this whole system. Just clear it up please once and for all.

^^ please!

i think they don't want to give board lawyers anything to work with tbh

I am afraid that request is going to get lost in the midst of another blah blah blah I don't agree with SBs thread. Maybe I should make an official request?

idk it just seems really weird to me that there is no official line on this sorta thing.

I'm with you all the way.

Me too.

Ditto.

i think every non-mod on this site is with you

christ. ade got himself banned? again?

can we take this here?

In all honesty, the mods are also in agreement on putting a policy in the FAQ but no one has had the time to sit down and write something out.

btw i am opposed to an official policy on SBs

i like a little mystery in my life

That's understandable, but maybe just answer Sarahel's question up there? It shouldn't take more than a few sentences.

(x-post to Dan)

DP - I don't really have much of a reason to care about this but the confusion that it seems to repeatedly cause just seems silly and unfair. Maybe someone should either find that time or suspend SBs until the time is found.

pretty sure the SB policy has been explained previously as an automatic ban which will be then examined by mods on a case by case basis?

Yeah, but so far almost every SBed person has been allowed to return after 30 days, which also seems to be an official policy.

Yeah, I gathered that was the case, rather than a One-size-fits-all style ruling

xpost to Ian

it's not confusing.

Some of the FAQ is hilariously outdated, esp. the bit about ILX slang being "picked up from bastardised hackerspeak and Molesworth books," which probably hasn't been true since Mark S. last posted.

That isn't what I'm asking about ... I'm asking about two-time offenders and the expiration of individual sb's ...

i think we are also asking that this all be written down someplace permanent so we don't have to have this thread happen over and over.

yeah i don't think that's going to stop this thread from happening over and over

a guy can dream

Come on, people love posting on this type of thread, otherwise why would they repeatedly do so every time an opportunity arises?

i would volunteer myself to write it. i am almost a lawyer, also an excellent technical writer. i bet u don't believe that do u

i du

let harbl write the fucking thing. if people keep up these threads after such a thing exists then they're even more retarded than I thought.

if a mod sent me a disorganized list of things to be included i would do it, as a community service

NA could be write though. I'm probably being too optimistic in thinking that would actually do anything.
