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

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

live & let live includes let ppl SB when they are sick of some fuckin dude acting a fool imho

not cosining on that; live and let live covers aggressive and passive aggressive axes to grind

i enjoy sbin as much as the next guy and im not totally opposed to an occasional judicious time out but there are some important posters who are gone forever~~

I agree w/ice cr?am for maybe the first time ever but some of them dudes were pretty much tattoooing BAN ME on their chests

I know I said it before but so glad this conversation is happening again because it's all v fresh and exciting.

I know right

SB'd you for that btw

i wonder how much pmsbing goes on, that is usually when i feel most tempted.

xx-post Of course you did!

lol john we used to be such buddies when i had my other login - a compelling study perhaps of the conditional nature of opinions

I should probably not be nice to you now Mr. D. but I will anyway. A friend of mine was playing some music the other day and I was like oh this song is alright what's this then and it turned out it was you! I then said oh I know who he is on the internet. ha.

who could sb such an innocent? u should all be ashamed

just hope they have better animes in heaven

i think that the mods have been pretty clear on all this actually, weve pretty much said from the beginning that sb reversals are going to be up to moderator discretion, which means that there isnt going to be a hard and fast rule. cankles racked up 49 of his sbs in the past three months, and the posts that got him sbs wouldn't really be very surprising. if someone else gets 102ed but has a bunch of bans for saying that blur sucked or whatever, or it took them far longer to hit the mark, it just isn't the same situation. if yall want a set in stone procedure, we might as well just code it into the system, but i (for one) think that is a pretty bad idea.

speaking for me, not mods in general btw.

also, to quell the raging against secretive conspiratorial mods, i think the reason no one has stepped up to give a concrete answer to the various specifics people are asking for is because a couple of the site wides are busy with other things at the moment, so it wouldnt exactly be accurate or fair to nail this stuff down without all of them having their say.

Someone asked this on another thread but I guess there was some confusion as to what exactly a 102 means. Is it an automatic permanent ban for all time or something that is subject to mod reversal somewhere down the line? That seemed to be what ppl wanted clarification on (see sarahel's thread about that specifically).

ENBB no offense but im pretty sure i just answered that in the first paragraph i wrote right above your post

Sorry will reread - am pretty tired so perhaps reading comprehension skills not the best right now. :-(
