Morbs! his film challops ranged from the 'ooh, that's an interesting point' to the 'lol what a curmudgeon', and that's why we loved him.

sugg banned u for this, btw

morbs is nothing but challops, u need some sincerity to counter-point

cozwn, Friday, 3 July 2009 20:17 (fifteen years ago) link

et tu, cozwn?

morbs being virtually nothing but challops is WHY we need him to counter-point the sincerity.

what are the sound and reasoned opinions of slock1 and omar and matt dc without Morbs?

moonship journey to baja, Friday, 3 July 2009 20:34 (fifteen years ago) link

Suggest bans should work like petitions where upon accumulating 51 of them, a poll asking whether or not the accumulatee should be banned is automatically generated and appears on a separate board where arguments for and against banning are heard, and fates are ultimately decided. Suggested names for the board include Purgatory, Civil Court, or I Love Bans.

Matt P, Friday, 3 July 2009 22:47 (fifteen years ago) link

suggest props is actually a good idea, especially if it cancels out sb's 1 for 1, that way people who post things that are valued by the community receive some benefit. right now the system is solely about punishment and negativity and the only counter we have to someone getting sb'd that we like is gay meta threads like this.

bnw, Saturday, 4 July 2009 01:28 (fifteen years ago) link

but for serious, and i'm sure this would be way too much work, but a great idea imo would be "suggest ban this user from thread". if s/he gets 5 in one thread, he's banned from that thread for a week, and so on.

― there's a blapp for that (k3vin k.), Friday, June 26, 2009 11:00 PM (1 week ago)

i still think this is a good idea. imo the best way to deal w/ morbs is just to ban him from any politix thread and let him post to baseball and film threads where his opinions might actually be relevant/valuable

um you must never read US political threads...

not that I think he should have been banned.

sleeve, Saturday, 4 July 2009 16:59 (fifteen years ago) link

um you must never read US political threads...

Exactly. Spending a significant amount of your time stalking one particular type of thread so that you can childishly insult everyone on it and then petulantly refuse any attempt to converse about the topic at hand or explain what your positions are goes beyond annoying to flat-out trolling, something you can get banned for. It is patently obvious that mods banning him flat-out for this would inspire a gigantic meta clusterfuck even though he deserves it, so we decided to let the posting community get sick of him. Now that you've spoken, he now has a month off to figure out how to express his hatred of American politicians and the people who vote for them without being an offensive asshole about it.

I see your point here, but at the same time it's a little unfair to be like "hey this is what you want" when lots of people in this thread are saying that this isn't what we want and we think the current SB system is a bad thing.

Emmet Otter's SugBan Christmas (The Yellow Kid), Sunday, 5 July 2009 01:56 (fifteen years ago) link

completely otm. morbs would troll a bit, but i think he also added a lot of value in other areas to justify it. if we let everybody who was offended get their way, then k-punk wins! say NO to grey vampires!

^^awed by the Solomonic fairmindedness and total absence of personal animus here^^

"Now that you've spoken" is loltastic, though! Sounds like Ollie North's lawyer at the Iran-contra hearings -- "THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!" All 52 of them.

As I posted in the hours before I was muzzled, i am done done done with the politics threads, as my Most Unpopular Opinion re The Slick "Centrist" clearly is not permitted there. Also, it's a waste of time. As far as "expressing hatred of American politicians and the people who vote for them without being an offensive asshole" goes, this has never been applied to folks who do that when it involves the Green Party, Nader, McKinney, Paul, etc.

Really, you can't chasten a man in his late 40s who's entering his fifth month of unemployment by anonymously telling him to go stand in the corner for a month on a messageboard. This largely unexplained policing procedure (nearly all I know about it comes from 77) is some bullshit, even for ILX, and I'm sadder and more pissed off about this place than ever.

I'm not going to use this cowardly Suggest Ban feature anymore, and I think someone more detached from the issue than I should start a thread demanding it be shitcanned.

Now I'm going to prepare for a job interview, and clean the crackers out of my bed.

StanM, Saturday, 10 October 2009 09:44 (fifteen years ago) link

Part of the problem is that Louis came back after his second banning and carried on with business as usual, and racked himself up another ton of SBs. Once he'd reformed he had such a high SB count and still made people mad from time to time so it was inevitable that he was going to hit a ban again.

I'm not sure what's the right thing to do about it; there's pretty good arguments on both sides: one is that he earned this ban and should have to take it anyway (the SBs he got wasn't just the usual BAN LOUIS types clicking on them, btw); the other is that he's obviously reformed and should be given leeway. I sympathise with both.

I can imagine it would be way too complicated to have a mod look at who has been given a ban, having to take the time to look at why or how could x poster have become so annoying to some and then wanting to reverse the decision, outweighing the 50 others who have decided they had enough. Maybe there should be an appeals committee :-) What a mess.

But lets say if a mod was banned, could he/she reverse that decision themselves?

I guess no one has ever been SB-ed had their ban reversed. Can anyone confirm?

LJ really distorts any arguments for or against SBs, seems a real one-off. I can't see NRQ (were he to come back) ever reforming or becoming nicer or whatever. If SBs were introduced back in 2002 I doubt that, I dunno, Momus/Doomie/Ethan/Dave Q/Blount (just some who I think might have gotten a ban) would have had a good look at themselves. And Ethan was SB-ed right, just decided not to come back 'reformed' as far as I understand it.

SBs seem like a bizarre way of overcompensating for all the times an ILXer who didn't behave all nice wasn't talked to in the past by a mod.

Just a few more lamentations, like...
