an open letter to the mods from Whiney G. Weingarten

do THE MODS LOVE RAPE JOKES?

no

so this is 27 days because that's all the system will allow? what happened to three day temp bans?

temp bans are automatically made longer by the system each time

Wow jhosh yknow it actually really bums me out that we used to get along on this site but then I became a mod and now you seem to go out of your way to be a dick to me.

oh xp

jj

1. i do like you and i reget and apologize for any previous excessively feeling hurting behavior, but that was clearly an hilarious text formatting based joke

2. if you dont want people to give you shit re being a mod, just dont be a mod, easy

anyway imo this is a ridiculous ban but whatever

i feel like unperson should be banned for even being collateral damage in this dust up

ban unperson

come unpeople now, smile on your brother

xp - as mod of 1p3 you can ban ph1l from that board - granted he doesn't post there - but maybe it'd make you feel better?

if he posted on 1p3 i would ban him

i.e. i banned princess tamtam

could you pretend to post as him and then ban him?

Yeah this is an awesome direction to take this thread

it was going so well before

in the interest of science, can't he just be banned for three days?

three days is a pretty limp, non-threatening ban tbh

yeah but Whiney likes indie rock womanhood, doesn't he?

i have irl fondness for whiney and take no pleasure in sharing this, but y'all should be aware (and whiney has already been made aware) that dude is perched right at 51 and he is likely going to be taking a three month ban extremely shortly so this is all kind of a moot point

wait, why would he be taking a 3 month ban?

102 = 3 month

but Kate got 102'ed and got let back in 30 days!

why don't captainlorax's bans get progressively longer ;)

why are you trying to get rid of the capn

for real? *scratches chin*

also i don't think jagger was gone for three

they're a colombian band
xpost

nah LJ only got another 30 - but he's kinda the ilx equivalent of a made guy imo

guys, i don't keep up with the ban bylaws; all I'm saying is that he's at 51. Whatever the stand-in-the-corner time is with that.

you had me worried there - this could seriously derail our ultra-scientific study

it's also convenient that whiney got banned on the cusp of 51 so when he comes back from his 27 (lol) day ban he'll post for like 2 days & then get a 30 day

Well except for the fact that some of his sbs would expire and he'd be less likely to accrue new ones but feel free to roll on w/yer none dare call it a conspiracy vibe

ha, i'm not saying it's a conspiracy! just that if he was that close to being sb'd maybe just wait until he gets sb'd or just incur his sb on this ban but whatever idk about the mechanization of the sb

Sorry then, misread how u meant convenient.

but j0rdan, what would happen if Dan went back on his word and unbanned Whiney? I mean, wouldn't that make mods look weak or soft or something?

I have learned absolutely nothing from this experience and when I return in 27 days, I will continue to post as I always have

kind of loling at the idea that whiney would have magically 'reformed' if he had been 30 day'd by via the more traditional route

I mean, it's clear that the dudes is going down the road of cankles recidivism and will never change. one hug it out thread does not a reform make

who is this "ph1l" btw

fr33m4n

i'm backin dp/jj re-election ticket in 2012 tbh, even though i'm always in the press enclosure watching them like a hawk

Whiney was actually on 49 SBs even before that ban and as a result of that thread has since gone up to 52, so nature would have taken its course anyway and the end result would have been much the same. Except without this sense of perceived persecution and Sarahel meta-concern trolling.

Pretty sure Whiney would have come back with an identical posting voice whatever happened. He doesn't seem to want to post in any other way.

I have to lol that at least four of the people attacking this ban clicked the SB button themselves for Whiney. I know it's not exactly the same but still.

peoples got a right to know matt, even if sarahel's usually the first to ask. That's why, imho, there's a comments field in the admin log.

Well actually what Sarahel did was revive this thread to say the temp ban was harsh and THEN go and read the Rollins thread to find out why he was tempbanned. Disingenuous as hell.

well tbh i skimmed rollins thread and still aint sure but i'm a concepts not a details man

ice cr?m killin it itt tbh, these things need to be treated with the appropriate levity

^ sb

h8 u

Man, I Know it's not going to happen, but it would be educational to see what posts people get sb'd for.

like, just in terms of accountability/transparency

Haha that would prove so, so divisive.

finite no of sb's a poster can give in 6 month rolling term imo.

Noodle vague's gonna sb me for that
