Matt DC's policy on self-bans has certainly evolved since april.
bottom line basically is forks should resign over this farrago

I loled at timeboom too, darragh.

also matt_DC is the mr miyagi of mods and needs you to show him that you're gonna work for it

just as i'm sure there's a best chillwave band
anyway self-banning is pretty stupid imo, just don't post ifyou don't want to post

my vote for ilx policy i guess is 'who cares'

if only it were that easy
― markers, Sunday, 28 August 2011 22:30 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, it's not that easy and if it were, a shit-ton of people wouldn't have elected to be self-banned.
― Aalexah (kkvgz), Sunday, 28 August 2011 22:32 (thirteen years ago) link
i tried self ban once but it made it weirdly harder not to look at ilx whereas now i just try to take a couple of days a week off every week seems to work ok
really tho i think trolling to get the 51 is the answer here

scrambled my password once, done the job
― lolled @ 'timeboom' (darraghmac), Sunday, 28 August 2011 22:54 (thirteen years ago) link
I scrambled my password and it made it so I can't log back into ilx using explorer at work unless I delete all my cookies or something, which means I'll have to contact some people who I'd rather not contact about re-logging me in to LexisNexis.
I've gotten around this by downloading Firefox specifically to use ilx at work, which is fine because i hear it's a better browser. I should just transfer all my important bookmarks to there anyway.

itt post about all the ways you've successfully stopped yourself from posting itt
― (Chris Isaak Cover) (schlump), Sunday, 28 August 2011 23:02 (thirteen years ago) link
I once went ten months with only eight posts.
The trick, I learned, is that when you read something and feel the need to post, you don't.

wait, shit
people talk about not-posting to this worthless hole where people wring hands about "The Weeknd" and big-up "Girl Wut Slugs" like its quitting smoking
― brrr-icane aye-rene (Whiney G. Weingarten), Sunday, 28 August 2011 23:43 (thirteen years ago) link
welll i guess were not all lucky enough to have our doctors forcibly prescribing us the patch every couple of months like some ppl
― game of pwns (Lamp), Sunday, 28 August 2011 23:44 (thirteen years ago) link
longest i have gone w/out posting to ilx since i started = 4 monthslongest i have gone w/out a cigarette since i started smoking = 20 hrs
― sarahel, Monday, 29 August 2011 01:59 (thirteen years ago) link
I don't begrudge or judge people who self-ban but I don't get it myself. I've had a few "fuck this shit I'm leaving ilx" moments but I just stop posting quietly. idk, maybe I just have a super capacity for self-discipline.

if someone can develop a sb system that will keep me from smoking for 30 days, i would probably be a much healthier person

I have self-banned by not posting and self-banned by requesting to be actually banned from the site. I relied on the latter when part of the reason for my self ban was that I was about to embark on some deadline-heavy, stressful, boring bullshit at work and I knew there was no way I could just not post because ILX, for better or worse, is often the antidote to my stressful, boring job.

sorry mane i think i confused you w/ zvoosbter maybe?
― HOOSy woosies (history mayne), Monday, 29 August 2011 17:29 (thirteen years ago) link
i self-ban on a regular basis thru the medium of "disliking most of ilx". ironically ur not included: if u only had some erudite, interesting, but entirely rong opinions on rap then one of us would be the other's evil twin. this is something u just have to face up to.
― zvookster, Monday, 29 August 2011 17:54 (thirteen years ago) link
loli gave up on music c. 1999 -- i like rap, but it was better when based on huge effing samples imo
― HOOSy woosies (history mayne), Monday, 29 August 2011 17:57 (thirteen years ago) link
The ENBB thing is nothing to do with me, I still think people who self-request bans should get one self-control but that's just me and not official mod policy.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 30 August 2011 14:18 (thirteen years ago) link
Basically as long as ur not being a jerk about it or waffling, i am glad to ban u, just ilxmail me.

my official mod policy on everything re: ilx self-banning is people should stop giving a shit what other people do all the time

I agree, tbh I found the hand-wriging when E asked for one to be more than a little ... it made me squirm slightly.
