wtf is up w/this self righteous sarcasm
― ice cr?m, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 19:21 (fourteen years ago) link
fwiw if the mods are interested in fostering a better relationship w/the modded - and i have noticed recent sentiment in this direction - itd be good imo to mod dispassionately
you can be mad and post abt it and whatever but when a mod action is taken such as a ban or a thread lock i propose u all give a brief unemotional explanation of what you did and why you did it such as:
cankles has been temp banned for personal attacks
or
thread of missing cankels has been locked because...
indignation coming from a position of power is really not a good look
― ice cr?m, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 19:37 (fourteen years ago) link
Having gone back and looked at the threads in question, this is a wholly disingenuous complaint.

also jhosh i have the sneaking suspicion that you dont really care that much about this but are kind of bored, no offense
― bearinthebumpercaremoticon.jpg (jjjusten), Wednesday, 2 December 2009 19:54 (fourteen years ago) link
xp: Because there is nothing to explain! I can post links to the threads in question but there is nothing ambiguous about why cankles got banned (calling someone a self-important cooze is not conducive to retaining your posting rights) or why either of those threads were locked (blatantly picking fights with other posters because you are mad your friend got banned is not conducive to those threads remaining unlocked).
If that is completely mind-blowing and unacceptable to you, I don't really know what else to tell you.

thread locks are def questionable but i thought it was cool/smart of wmc to only ban him from ile

― brutt fartve (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 2 December 2009 20:03 (fourteen years ago) link
dan my complaint (in this thread lol) is not that cankels was temp bannd - its that wmc felt the need to throw in the "you need a break" - srsly who the fuck cares if that dude thinks cankels needs a break - is he his dad - does he want to be
im saying if you cant mod at least in yr explanations of actions w/o turning into a self righteous ninny then dont do it - yr making yrself look bad - its pitiful
so my modest proposal for mods is just to give a short explanation of mod actions explaining how a thread or poster has broken the rules or mores of ilx not of how offended they are
itd imo help people to understand mod actions and help the mods to think things through

Kevin, this has nothing to do with you.
jhos, cankles used up pretty much every vestige of mod goodwill with his last sitewide ban. The only reason he's still here is because an incredibly vocal contingent like him. I, personally, am not going to cry any tears if a moderator was less-than-unrufflable when dealing with him, particularly since his offenses are blatantly obvious to anyone with a passing grasp on how to be polite to someone else.

My contention is that it isn't about ANYTHING, which is why I said it was disingenuous. I'm sorry you got mad that WmC said "you need a break" instead of "banned for being a total asshole"; kind of don't know what more you want here.

i dont think joe "wants" anything; i think hes offering a tip to mods who are hoping to have smooth relations with posters going forward
― max, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 21:00 (fourteen years ago) link
i dont think hes wrong either. improved poster-mod relations recently i think have a lot to do with mods going out of their way to be fairly dispassionate instead of bitter rageaholics
;)

jhoshea i apologize for showing emotion today. will try to do better and only give facts dispassionately. i really was trying to give a holiday gift of not ripping cankles from the loving arms of ilnfl (thank you kev k for recognizing it as it was intended)

― mookieproof, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 21:03 (fourteen years ago) link
Funny, I thought improved poster-mod relations came from posters not bringing up nasty personal shit that happened off-board whenever a disagreement happened.

all im saying bnw, and im not trying to be a jerk towards you, is that i think that if you go in with a predisposition towards "mods are doing bad things and wont admit it", anything i say to explain whats going on and why it isnt bad gets taken as a defensive position.
