TOMBOT and john justin should not be mods

Having now seen the thread in question there's no doubt in my mind that Dom made that pop at Tom knowing full well it would result in a ban and a lengthy meta clusterfuck, which presumably he is watching now with a large bag of popcorn. Well done all concerned.

But yeah, that was badly worded, what I meant is that I can't recall the presence of the admin log causing any more problems than its absence has done now.

(x-post)

Forget the admin log, let's just do up the mod/non-mod heirarchy in a D&D style and let Tom be the level 8 dungeon master already.

i think we can all agree that tom, the person who started that thread, is entirely blameless in this whole debacle. he's really the victim, fi you think about it. we should do a whip round.

im often lold by toms modding - its charismatic absurd quality is in keeping w/the best aspects of the bord - problem is hes targeting others who embody those qualities too

in life its important to know who yr natural allies are

if chaki had the balls to light himself on fire he'd have done it years ago

gershy would light somebody else on fire, and then say it wasn't him

heave would only light himself on fire if you told him there was money in it

this isn't bannable meta coming out of dom's mouth? interesting.

It's gonna be big fun when Tom jumps back into the thread and reads us all the same "This is America, if you don't like it GO TO RUSSIA, COMMIE" riot act as usual, ain't it? We'll go right back to square one, he'll keep pulling the same stunts, and we'll bide our time til the next clusterfuck.

have we really gotten to the point where that sort of talk is banable? like we cant discuss the bord and posters on it? did this happen when i was gone?

xp

who are u

Or I can just stop modding except to fulfill specific requests. Ned's sitewide now, and he doesn't have to worry about 77.

That would be cool.

Darragh that wouldn't even be approaching bannable meta no matter who it was.

So from now on, whenever you've been banned, just assume it wasn't me. Got that Dom?

how many people *honestly* don't like tom's modding? like five? six, maybe? i think he mods with a pretty good sense of humor. for all the shit he gets flung at him about his personal life, i think he handles it all pretty well.

modding only in response to requests would be great for all the mods - the motherly tendency to guide the bord is futile anyway - gotta let it do its thing maaaaan

fwiw, I thought Pashmina was pretty clear on the http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?action=showall&boardid=40&threadid=58899 thread a few months ago about zero tolerance regarding "Meta snidiness behind people's backs on one of the smaller boards or on board 77" and discussing "people who don't even post here anymore." Maybe that policy has changed already, though, I dunno. (xpost to Matt)

lol there is no policy this place is a total clusterfuck-shitstorm and thats how come we luv it so

be the river not the rock

Some dude, did you deliberately overlook "Ad hominem snide at any other poster about IRL things that are not under discussion on that thread"?

I mean, you can't omit something and then go "look at the inconsistency!"

"some dude" has lined up so many straw men that I've lost count.

omg n/a that looks SO TASTY

eh avocados are one of my favorite things but those all look pretty generic tbh

which strawmen pash? im genuinely interested in ur opinion on this, since i think (gershy aside) youve got the best track record as a mod

wtf is that kale

eat good mexican food twice weekly and avoid anonymous arguments with virtual strangers where you can show off your cynicism and quick quipping utility belt; imo u would be wise 2 heed my words.

that's directed at all gods chillun, btw

unfair on countries that don't border mexico

Yeah sorry I'm getting too far up into this argument without having all the context and did cherry-pick from a very long post, not trying to be glib here.

But what max said: my strawmen, show me them. I've referred to mods, to people being banned, to other people making points, all by name, and I think it's generally been clear who I mean when I refer to "some people" or "a lot of people" or whatever.

btw once tom said something on 77 jokingly about letting difft people control the board at difft times which i think is an amazing and lolarious idea

its like radio djs, you can tune into ilx when your fave mod is modding

under those circumstances substitute "polish" "italian" or "thai" for quotemarksmexicanquotemarks xp

i think Matt is focussing too much on this one instance of Dom being banned, which isn't what is being discussed here. i just can't tell if that's a sincere mistake or something more rhetorical.

The church would be interesting borad if once a week two people were elected borad mods as chosen at random by one permamod who exerted no power other than that. I would enjoy playing in that flavor of the month petri dish.

I am ordering empanadas today; this thread is controlling me

o where u getting them from

"if two people were elected borad mods FOR ONE WEEK ONLY " of course

Some dude, did you deliberately overlook "Ad hominem snide at any other poster about IRL things that are not under discussion on that thread"?

i'm not even close to being in the 'opposite' camp to you here matt, i know tombot posted all that stuff to get a reaction out of certain posters, but isn't that just what dom does? (not in any way defending having a personal go at tombot, but as far as i can recall, uh that was waaaaaay after that thread had started and the refs to chaki etc had been posted)

photos of delicious ethnic food aside, which i'm sure we can all agree is what we're all on ILX for

the church WAS an interesting board xpost

empanada mama!
