Modding of I love TMI

lol

I think about the only response I have to this is "really?" like, it's Easter, have a nice dinner with friends and don't have brain dead stupid ILX drama for a change

strip kate of mod privs or turn another board into iltmi & let kate have i don't mind everything back & it's bevy of posters and interesting threads

i for one am jewish

way to assume everyone here believes jesus is our lord and savior

& yeah it's not kate's board -- idme was kate's board -- iltmi is not kate's board -- when the church gets changed to "i love british football" it's not gonna be rev and abbott's board anymore

u will pry ask dr. freud from my cold dead hands

by kate's reasoning, the church is actual chaki's board, may he rest in peace

never knew people "owned" boards until today

Holy shit dude. If chaki is dead... then this guy on AIM is... a ZOMBIE!

*runs*

If I'm guilty of anything, it's assuming that people will take an excuse to have fun

Ask Chaki!

feel like we should think abt the lyrics to colors of the wind by vanessa williams right now

It is what it is. It's my board and it always has been.

gangsta! gangsta!

when the church gets changed to "i love british football" it's not gonna be rev and abbott's board anymore

Is this going to happen? Would be sooooooo down with Balkanizing that shit.

i was joking cuz i think it was bandied about a few weeks ago

ILTMI is sometimes interesting and that has nothing to do with Kate's involvement. Strip her of mod privileges or give her another board, whatever, but it's NAGL for mods to be throwing temper tantrums and deleting threads for no reason.

hopefully kate will cool down tomorrow, i think it's probably best to wait til then at least

whoa i'm real late to this thread but don't wanna read it all, can someone give me the scopp?

THIS IS THE THREAD WHERE WE SUM UP ILX CLUSTERFUCK THREADS SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ THEM.

opps didn't see that thread

hang on I thought Kate locked that thread and called Kenan's gender obsolete for lolz? and that it was pretty funny if that was her intention? and that the discussion was restarted anyway, with little time lost or pain incurred?

and then she deleted the new thread, and threw a hissy fit when confronted

ok well I went upstairs to talk about music (lol newfound love of hip-hop) + chill w/ frankie j for nearly 2 hours and missed everything

also guys Kate is having it pretty rough atm (I know this, from the Twitters) and I think maybe in this instance a pile-on isn't the sensitive or proper thing to do? we usually have little trouble from her ILTMI modding...one little episode that wasn't exactly malicious while the poor gal's in a seriously depressed phase ain't doing anyone favours. I say drop it, lock thread, etc

that's true, whenever i'm having a rough time of things, the LAST thing i ever do is apologize for throwing temper tantrums. sorry lj, if mb wants to make it public (or at least ilx-public) that she's going through a rough patch and that she had a bad day, then fine, i'll take it at face value. but a third party defense that her twitter feed indicates depression or whathaveyou doesn't make me any less annoyed about the situation.

Public content indicates that she's not happy, and that this farrago has been an aggravating factor - it's directly referenced - and as she's directly said that ILX troubles (i.e. this) are getting her down, I think we should respect that

maybe she should stop modding then?

i mean if this is "she's having a rough go, let's give her a wide berth" vs "she's having a rough go, maybe she shouldn't be making these kinds of calls," i know where i stand on that ish

She should stop modding ILTMI because the actions from earlier today were ridiculous and childish. Just give her her old board back and let me mod ILTMI. I don't give a shit what y'all have to say about gender or poop or whatever else so you should just let me do it. Why? Because I'd be awesome.

Or not. That would be OK too.

The clit thread got deleted? It was mildly important to me that the world know that the poor lady hyeana gives birth through her clitoris.

I kindly refrained from posting photos.

Yeah see that was the best part of the whole thread and it really is something that people need to know imo.

*goes to GIS hyeana clit birth*

ok enbb, here's your test to see if you're mod-worthy...

a guy posts that he just found out that the clitoris is shaped like a wishbone and not like a button. do you:
a) freak all kinds of the fuck out, cast insults around, and lock/delete threads
or
b) tolerate, engage, and educate?

lol

(b, obv)

y'all make points but I think this is an *isolated incident* and piling on *will not help*. besides if anyone needs to be made an ILTMI mod it ought to be someone with a truly outstanding record on that front

Guys I was mostly joking about modding ILTMI however if a new mod is ever sought for such a thing I would gladly volunteer my services.

yeah, this kinda shit is why i banned kate from iltmi -- which originally was my idea and tuomas's as well -- and got permanently deleted as a mod from said board lol

^the board was our idea i mean. the banning kate was all me

enbb would be an unbelievable iltmi mod--that is an objective and unbiased stmt

FWIW as the "do nothing" member of site mods I think there is nowhere where a policy of extreme inaction benefits more than ILTMI. People offend and disgust me all the time on that board, but that means there is a corner of the world where it is OK to offend & disgust people. If there is room for shitting dick nipples, surely there can be room for opinions of equal vexation, so long as they are not set out to willfully and malignantly abuse another person (it's ok talk about disgusting dicks but don't be a disgusting dick). If ILTMI is not a place where this can happen, the inexhaustibly foolhardy transaction of insaniacked and deviant ideas (along with the kinder and sexier ones), I don't know ehere is. This kinda makes me sad.
(Disclaimer: I have no idea abt the reasoning for extreme lock/deletion shutdown of that thread about the mysteries of the clitoris.)

I think this is an *isolated incident*

I think you're fooling yourself, and only yourself.

I say this w/like Cosmic levels of digging K8 btw (k8)!

Abbott 100% otm

ALso I say this w/like 3/4 a bottle of delicious Eastertime pinot grigio in me so apologies for talking w/the purpleness of LJ & the punctuation of a typewriter monkey.

lol @ 'isolated incident'

If there is room for shitting dick nipples, surely there can be room for opinions of equal vexation, so long as they are not set out to willfully and malignantly abuse another person...

OTM, and this should be engraved into the walls as one of the foundational statements of the ILX Constitution

purpleness of LJ & the punctuation of a typewriter monkey

lol

also yeah, isolated incident my ass

hmm

hackers, def hackers

kenan was just banned from thread iirc

Who unbanned him from that thread is the question, I think. Kate, ENBB and Tuomas were the ILTMI mods, and they didn't do it. None of the sitewide mods know who did it. It was his unbanning from that thread that upset Kate. I, for one, did not jump in and re-ban Kenan from that thread because I prefer to find out what's going on in a situation before I take any action, unless there's an obvious urgent need. Right now the "who unbanned Kenan" mystery still has the sitewides baffled. I regret that we don't act quickly enough or communicate quickly enough to suit Kate, but frankly, she has a hair-trigger and there's no such thing as moving quickly enough or communicating quickly enough to suit Kate.

Mods don't do, or fail to do, anything in order to spite any ILXor.

xposts, was composing that while HI DERE posted.

- A sitemod unbanned Kenan; so far, no one is taking credit for this. If someone DID do this, IMO that person should not be a sitemod anymore. No exceptions.

i do not share y.o.

surely k8 was acting capriciously, not the mod who restored things. isn't this whole thread pointing out that ILTMI is a board to be modded in an impersonal fashion like ILE or ILM & not according to whims like Stickwaving: The Chinatown of ILX :: The Chinatown of ILX.

i unbanned kenan and throw myself on the mercy of the court

Taking a mod action on a board that isn't being tracked and not telling anyone, including the other other sitemods, about what you are doing is bad modding. If there was a reason behind it, if it had been written up the mods Kate contacted could have communicated better with her. She may still be angry, but there would be answer. As it stands right now, we have nothing to say other than "we don't know what happened". That doesn't help anyone.

If 'who unbanned kenan' is a big question, then 'when/how did kate get ILTMI mod powers back' is another one, i think

as of right now, I am not 100% convinced they were ever actually taken away

actually I wonder if there's some weird cache interaction happening here where attempting to do something at a certain time gets ignored because the site is running maintenance tasks

How long is this clusterfuck going to go on for?

1) I banned Kenan (and a couple of other guys who had posted) from the thread because, as stated, several people on the thread (myself, Nijoli and someone else) said that they felt uncomfortable sharing intimate details of their personal lives for fear of mockery, among other things. Kenan, to give him credit, at least tried to contact me about this, though I was unable to respond, as he did not provide an email address where we could discuss it further.

2) Someone removed the ban. I contacted several moderators asking what the policy on this was. I asked, if I was not going to be allowed to moderate, to have my moderation privileges revoked and to be removed from the board. Only one mod replied, saying that he was too busy with personal issues to get involved (fair enough). There was no other response.

3) When there was no response, I banned both of my accounts from TMI. If anyone had been curious or concerned about that, well, NOT ONE PERSON bothered to webmail or email me or ask me what had happened, they just went straight to opening up the old clusterfuck thread yet again.

4) I yet again wrote to several more mods, explaining my actions yet again, and asking for this thread to be locked. I have been removed from moderation, I have been removed from TMI. I do not know what else you want? A public execution?

I do not understand this thread is kept being kept open for the usual round of clusterfuck, character assassination, grandstanding and just all around fucking drama that gets dragged out whenever my name is even *mentioned* on the mod board, whether I am involved or not. I gather you lot seem to enjoy doing this, because I certainly do not.

I am asking yet again for this thread to be locked since none of the moderators have responded to any of my emails. Enough is enough.

I only just saw the email you sent me after reading this post.

Thread is locked.
