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

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.

errr - he could be right.

Really what we need is a random ban-bot that permanently bans a random person from ILX every day, until everyone is gone. After which the bot will be required to select23 individuals, 16 female, 7 male, to rebuild ILX. Failure to comply with this process will result in a cataclysmic system crash killing everyone.

^^post very much in character

ffs i know ppl like to post to borad-lawyering and meta threads but if this stuff was written out we wouldn't have to answer the question "when do sb's expire?" for the 900th time and endless facepalming arguments with mods would really be a nonstarter because that's what written policies are for.

yes and the new server must be hidden in a cave whose location is a mystery and if the new posters don't find it in time the polling option will time out and they can never make a poll again

i'm actually with n/a here (if he was serious) - he got banned, he'll be back eventually, whatever imo

of course if you SB'd cankles you're probably a humorless dork

Easiest solution here is to just do away with SBs, isn't it? Community policing is grand and all that, but it seems to cause more headaches than anything. The few people who've been banned were fairly well contained anyway, and particularly egregious stuff (cankles, Jon W's tantrums) were handled perfectly well by the mods.

clearly that would be the best solution, but i dont think i'd be in favor of it. i like that unpredictability, it spices shit up every once in a while

xp this is why we need a policy--iirc mods have stated sb is not going anywhere and i think we have argued it to death off and on for like 9 months

I like cankles. If offensive words are the problem, what's wrong with a filter that turns offensive words into non-offensive words?

Fuck that tbh.

uhhh to be perfectly fair cankles can be real tough to take sometimes--i mean if you aren't "in on the joke" the casual racism is not cool. even if you are it's not that cool.

... the casual racism, the casual sexism, and the casual homophobia ...

ok now we're talkin

what about, the filter is optional, if you don't want to see some guy lol'ing to himself w/racist or sexist or homophobic language, you can have those words filtered, and if you love those words, you have a different filter that changes all terms to racist or misogynist epithets

he used slurs against pretty much anyone ...

Seriously guys? Filters? You're kidding, right?

if it worked for DUMPLINGS! ...

n/m this debate is old. I'm jsut waiting for the policy tbh.

and DUMPLINGS!

can some do a DUMPLINGS! for raviolis?

i want a filter that turns all of sarahel's ellipses into "poop"

lolllllllll

... poop ... lol ... poop ....

the use of terms that gets filtered triggers an auto-SB. once you have 51 you are gone but you don't get to be mad at anybody about it. the name of this system is SSBcontrol

Filters are a wack idea just to be clear

yeah, I want a filter that transforms failed attempts at lolz into the phrase - malformed "joke"

what about disemvoweling or automatic translation into a dead language

you have a different filter that changes all terms to racist or misogynist epithets

Can you imagine Tuomas posts with that filter?

^^^ post originally read "loveless is yoga flame for all time"

that was originally for a diff. post to be clear but then I figured what's the diff

what is ilx but a filter that catches the wheat of society but lets the chaff fall through?

having an option to automatically ignore all posts from certain posters has worked well on other boards, maybe that could work. anyone have a problem with that?

killfile? we have that

works less well when other people who are engaging with the ignored poster are c/p'ing his/her remarks. best solution imo is a "suggest ignore" system where clicking SI sends an email to the user advising them to ignore the person who sent it

ok i just lost my shit

or folks could just deal with the fact that as we're all a bunch of aspies, we're gonna get offended by dumb shit and it's much more classy not to escalate under any circumstances.

1,000,000x otm and I say this as a guy who still flies on the fuckin handle but less than I used to

exactly why a kudos/props button doesn't work/exactly why I'm pro-SB

facebook adds a dislike button and ilx brings back all banned legends - this is my dream for the internet
