Any questions? (New FAQ thread)

don't know if more comprehensive board explanations/descriptions would actually make anything about 1p3 and all noise dude any clearer, and i'm not sure they should be. one suggestion i'd make is making the faq easier to find, perhaps emailing a link to it when you register? i had been posting here for six months before i found the old one.

5. What is a sock?

LOL!

1p3 is about animal photos & abbreviations & diff varieties of sandwiches

i still have no idea what's going on in most of the subboards

Some kind of question about the kinds of behaviour/comments etc that tend to get frowned on/SBed on?

i've sort of been wondering what exactly 1p3 and ANDSFBaPB are uh for, i guess. and for that matter i'm still not clear on what exactly a 'noise dude' is.

i have the same questions. i kind of figured that the ANDSFBaPB was for NY ilx'ors, but that's purely a guess.

The requested URL /moderators.html was not found on this server.

What is a troll and how can i go about not feeding it?

Maybe expand the abbreviations list? OPO/POO/POX, C/D, S/D, OTM, xpost, FAP, TS, ITT, WDYLL, WKIW, etc?

this place is supposed to be a bewildering clusterfuck when you first stumble into it, y'all are making things too easy!

i agree

For Noise and 1p3 and ITR and Cape, etc, it might be fun to have it broken down into "sitewide mods' definition" and "board mods' definition".

yeah i actually enjoy that aspect, well, to a degreee

surely tho u could tell me what a noise dude is

search function tells me it's someone who's into noise music O_O

its a spillover from the original Neti Pot user forums that we inherited during one of the board moves.

those two answers don't really mesh for me

i would listen to jjjusten over me

i mean, "noise dude" can be someone who listens to noise music, but it looks like ILX has a more specific definition

okay

are your poll votes kept confidential? can mods see what you voted for in polls? how often can you vote in polls? are there polls on the moon?

and on that note, why is it that after you vote on a poll and the page reloads the poll is still there the same as it was? can you vote more than once?

Once, I was a rebel and I tried to vote twice. I'll never forget what happened...

sorry ladies, I'm taken

what abt the gentlemen?

the gents don't seem to care about my risky behavior on the poll thread front

no no no, we care

sum wld say we care too much

my weakness is i care too much

it is better to have cared deeply, than never to have cared at all

SB'd you for doing this, by the way. anybody else have any confessions they want to make?

http://brotherherm.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/usher-confessions-marked.jpg

i dont particularly care too, thanks

my weakness is i care too much

& here i tht it was crappy wilco records

my weaknesses are ranged attacks and the undead

my confession is that i actually worry abt what strangers on the internet think of me

there are no crappy wilco records, only underappreciated wilco records.

(that's not what i think of you, btw. put differently: xp)

crappy Wilco records, crappy Papa Roach songs, really

dyao, serious answers:
yes
no
once
no

huh. I remember reading before that you can vote once per day per poll

i've been a fule

when you sb and you confirm the sb and next up is a blank screen did your sb register or not?

i dunno, lemme see if i get the blank screen first

hmm I'm not sure darragh let me try it out

hmm what just happened? I'm not sure. I think I need to try again.

where does the thing of using tildes as somewhere between scare quotes and emphasis come from (e.g. here on US POLITICS: underrated supreme court decisions that i have read )? i don't think i've seen this before ilx.

That's a great question. (And I knew your example would either be from gbx or max.)

i think because cankles~

It's maddening that this is basically unsearchable.

yeah don't forget on using it at the end of sentence to state your not-quite-ironic but not-quite-sincere stance on a topic~~

~~~~~it's a mystery.gif~~~~~

^^ wrong usage

(Btw, I don't think I meant Max, I think I meant jhoshea.)

if it's added to the end of the word i read the word with a certain inflection~

it's like a flourish whoooaooooaoooohhhyeahhhhhhhh

Why is the Alicia Keys' Ass thread always in the most read threads list around this time?

ppl googling after parents/wifey go to bed

always think of this as an adrian thing, yeah

adrian is clicking on the Alicia Keys Ass thread 10-15 times at approx. 1am EST?

haha sorry i meant the ~ thing...trying to find the alicia keys ass thread rn

it just reminds me of the phantom ambulance from the first Season of Von Trier's "The Kingdom" - the ambulance just sits there at the same time every night, and no one gets out - that thread, and several others, are always on most read threads around the same time of day and there are no new posts.

~ is one of many affectations i stole from adrian langston obe

What does it mean when a user has been yellow carded?

i am also curious about the yellow card phenomenon!

emphasis of words like ~this~ comes from 4chan iirc (i have encountered it elsewhere on the internet, also occasionally in a ~*variant form*~ for when you want to be super obnoxious)

hmm, I think ~ probably has antecedents in internet postings from the far east

Can't the soccer people get their own board already?

~~ is a japanese thing for emphasis, nothing to do with ade.

except that ade used it

then by the transitive property ade is a japanese thing

why did Lady get banned?

why did blueski get banned?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5C4N7UwVS4

Wait what happened with blueski?

I'm assuming it was a self-requested thing, tbh, so maybe it's not a public deal or w/e.

yea.

not sure it's worth putting in the faq tbh

ha sorry, didn't rly notice what thread this was in.

again, it would be useful for mods to put brief explanations for this sort of thing in the admin log

not if it's something blueski requested, imo sarahel.

there's been plenty of users requesting self-bans where mods put "at poster request"

uhh that has been standard proc in the past for ppl who have asked for ban

(xp obv)

maybe blueski asked not to.

WE'LL NEVER KNOW

RIP

the new ilx FAQ is going to be really long

Deleting unused users and clearing old suggest bans

whoa

so when browsing in images-off, why do all youtube links to go the full screen version? any way to just go to the simple version?

what's the o.g. "let's all be cool"

it's from the ilx book thread if you're asking provenance

ty!

tonight the moon is full and the mood is meta

(moon may not actualy be full)

anybody have the link to the ILX: The Book thread? no, not that one.

Excelsior the book
