an open letter to the mods from Whiney G. Weingarten

Dear Whiney,

Dear Roxy,

Why did you lock the diarrhea diarrhea thread on 1p3 iirc?

~Whiney

why does Roxy lock any thread?

http://www.cozykittens.com/Herbie101.jpg

one of my favorite locks

did we ever do a best thread locks poll

xp - precisely - if you gaze into the smoke persian's face, you will discover why roxy locked the diarrhea diarrhea thread.

i need some place to tell rox that this thread:

Now this is how it started: THE ILX 1980s ALBUM POLL RESULTS!!

I don't know what the title is reference to, but every time i see it, i sing the "origins of the addamms family" song from third grade

Do you have weird alternative lyrics for songs that play in your head?

THEY ALL BECAME RETARDED

xp Edward - best thread locks nominee - see today's new COGH thread.

Results 1 - 10 of about 1,190 for "THEY ALL BECAME RETARDED"

kinda think his temp ban was a bit harsh

don't speak of it or you'll get tempbanned

first rule of tempban

i dunno why he was banned, if it was just a case of being overly whiney then it seems a bit much. he does give a pointer, what wth the DN and all

sb?

That will happen soon enough.

okay i read that thread - basically he was making a complaining joke about the non-77 poster's display name discussion that got those threads moved to ILE - and he got banned for that? or was it that he didn't stop when Dan warned him to stop?

see you in 27 days, dumbass

harsh. i like that guy; what'd he do?

oh! thanks.

tbph i duno why, if unperson's DN is so bothersome, that the temp ban hasn't gone that way.

who's the unperson now?

^^ seriously - like Dan felt strongly it should be changed, Whiney had been complaining that it should be changed - why ban Whiney?

you can tear a building down, but you can't erase a memory

this was a mercy comatosing

i dunno - it just reminds me of the noize board AC Transit bus fight video incident where a couple posters pissed off Dan, and then he banned them, but that was only a few hours banning.

dan perry is the Rudy Giulianni of message baord mods

To be blunt, because instead of acting like a normal, rational poster and either addressing unperson directly or going to MRF, Whiney went to 77, took offense when reminded that meta-shit about non-77 people was a no-go (note: I was also involved in the meta-shit but I dropped it immediately when reminded of what I was doing) and spent the next few days loudly proclaiming that ILX mods are champions of rape jokes when to my knowledge none of the mods had even encountered unperson on a thread since he changed his screen name to that. When I encountered him, I asked him to change his screen name, and Whiney took that as an opportunity to rant some more EVEN THOUGH THE SHIT HE WAS ORIGINALLY COMPLAINING ABOUT WAS BEING HANDLED.

I am actually going to speak for every site mod here: we are sick of this shit. Knock it off.

Whiney took that as an opportunity to rant some more EVEN THOUGH THE SHIT HE WAS ORIGINALLY COMPLAINING ABOUT WAS BEING HANDLED.

were there posts that were deleted or was this in a different thread? because it just seemed to me like he was just following up on am0n's post.

mod ban thyself

calling the poster a "dumbass" in the admin log does not make the decision appear to be about the community.

oh wait what's this i thought for sure official policy was moving threads from 77

haven't seen the exchange in question but if whiney brought up that unperson bullshit again it's his own fault imo - it's not a dificult rule to follow

otoh 27 days seems a bit harsh and "see you in 27 days, dumbass" is a lame tombot bite

oh wait what's this i thought for sure official policy was moving threads from 77

uh thread in question this time wasnt on 77 so

oh what...so whiney got tempbanned for annoying perry?

man and i was gonna be all pro-mods on this one, i swear

back to the pile

The thing that should be taken away from this is that ranting like an insane person about off-topic meta things will get you tempbanned if I come across it.

Spend more time talking about things other than each other and you shouldn't have any problems.

but we luv each other why cant u see

mod, heal thyself

Whiney did not get tempbanned for annoying Perry

If making fun of rapeyness is a bannable offense, we should all get a time-out for that thread where we ragged on Sublime for singing an anti-rape song.

BROCOLLI RAPE

bee rape (nod to aerosmith)

Anyway, I think Whiney had probably just had too many circus peanuts or something. Just give him a couple days and he'll cool off.

a couple of days, lol

just give him a couple pills and like 30 years of therapy

imo something should be added to the FAQ saying basically "be nice to Dan Perry all the time or be prepared to face the consequences" because that's pretty much how it feels at this point. maybe all the mods stand together on his decisions but usually it feels like it's him taking stuff personal, acting on it, and then usually jjjusten backing him up. nothing against you, dude, you're an A+ poster and as big a part of ILX as anybody but i'm getting Tombot flashbacks.

some dude making a lot of sense, but otoh...

cant really argue with this stone cold logic

stfu noob

thanks, jjj - i know i've trolled you in the past, but i appreciate your transparency and candor in mod-related issues.

whiney is always a hard case to defend in board lawyering

compared to cankles?

madoff vs manson

mods should have a pre-determined annual bank of ban days for whiney and just use a few up whenever he is overheating.

maybe we should put these bans in some kind of lockbox

whiney is the bob probert of ilx, his job simply involves spending a decent amount of time in the penalty box.

That is such blasphemy.

Ty Domi, maybe.

an open letter to the mods from Whiney G. Weingarten

my "i'm only gonna come back stronger" post was made when I was under the assumption that I was banned for 27 days over pointless, arbitrary dan perry beef. If it was a three-day comedy ban, I would have honestly laughed along with Dan about the whole thing. However I will gladly take my democratically decided 30-day 51-suggban sentence like a man, as it is clearly what the people want.

Also, sincere, non-snarky apology to Abbbott or if anyone who got legitimately offended by my 2 or 3 posts re mod/rape/phil. It was an admittedly dickish way to point out what I felt was a hypocrisy of mod action being "ruin the best thread on 77" instead of "confront a dude about his rapey display name."

That is all.

had subway for lunch in his memory

drowned a doe eyed girl while sobbing uncontrollably

pulled out the tablecloth and upset the pussy buffet

wrapped a keffiyeh around a puppy's neck

argued with a mod today in his memory

OK, cool, everybody seems to have successfully had their say, so --
