This is the thread where we ask "what is our current bannage total?"

I deserve an assist for that

ok

after the "by pressing this button in front of a jury of twelve of yr peers etc" i get no confirmation, just a blank screen which the address bar appears to recognise as

http://www.ilxor.com/ILX//VoteForBanControllerServlet

ie if there should be something there then i'm not seeing it, and haven't been since i dunno when.

eh not to get into hairy details but i assume my bans have been counting? :)

okay let me just find somebody to SB to check that

Yeah I go to the same page

nothing's showing up for you guys, either

There's a problem here but I don't know what it is. I leave it in stet's hands.

sug banning takes me back to Site New Answers - I assume that means it works for me

(I also never received webmails from the folks reporting the blank page problem.)

omg so disenfranchised.

and to think i defended ye bastards throughout the whole sb debacle

I was sort of comfortably not caring whether my SBs worked or evaporated off into the void but...there is much work still to do

yeah it's usually more for the calming effect on me than for the bannage effect on the other poster.

most of the time, like

Yeah but now I'm worried I'm like that one Who whose missing shout is preventing somebody getting a 51

What really sucks for me is, I had kind of got into the habit of hitting suggest ban a couple of times when the usual eejits kicked off, to blow off my tension instead of flaming back. Now I *know* for a fact that that has absolutely no effect at all, it takes away that release and I'm a heck of a lot more tempted to flame back (also safe in the knowledge that a good proportion of their SB's won't "take" either).

Sad but true. :-(

Hope this answers all the people who questioned the value of SB

placebo effect

Or we could all just get along xp

what's mine, please?

if mods want i could provide a list of people who most likely should have been banned but werent due to sb not working

unless I missed something, there still hasn't been any definitive proof that SBs aren't being counted

the proof is that kelpolaris is still posting

DAMN I WAS FRANTICALLY TYPING THAT

don't think meta is the way to take this thread, which is on a hair's breadth at the best of times due to its nature imo

oh ok

i'm not gonna lock it but just watch it is all i'm saying

rly expected someone to call me on that tbh, fell kinda flat

assumed I shd probably have a couple of weeks off the gin tbh

suggest brandy

I got most of a bottle of Raki, that'll have to do

did a test suggban and it took me back to the trhead, not to a blank page, so i think it... worked?

I want to see an all-ILXor musical group called the Suggest Band.

If my 1 SB is older than a week, read the 9/11 conspiracies thread and KNOW that SB is busted.

delusions of grandeur dude. pity != SB

ppl really only sb you if you aren't entertaining them sufficiently, ime

there have been 14 SB's posted in the last 24 hours, so i am pretty sure that the sb function is still working. obv we need to make sure by poking around under the hood, but i'll leave that to someone that knows what all those wires under there actually do.

and obv i dont know exactly when yer sbs were posted, but most of the people asking about them have some that have showed up recently, so i dont think anything is out of order - def think that (as king of the stupid and overlong username) the length of yer username can cause problems. for a final test if each of you want to pick someone to test the sb on (note: not someone you may have sbed before) and tell me who it is in this thread, i will verify that it went through and then remove the sb right away.

or to make things easier, sb me or John

esp John

i'll sb NV- just make sure that the test i did on HI DERE is removed too?

oooh

feel like a smoke now, and i don't even smoke

you know what rhymes with suggest BAN right xxpost

kurdistan?

I just test SB'd Three Word Username at 16:20 british time which makes it 15:20 by my ILX time. Got the odd blank screen again.

I am quite certain that I've never SB'd them before and they said they only had 1 SB so it should be easy to tell if my SB showed up or not. (if it has, go ahead and remove it.)

I just sb'd jjjusten at 11:21 EST. It seemed to work okay.

Yeah I just did one too and I think it worked fine.

From what I'm seeing, the blank screen means it hasn't gone through.

The last sb I see fro KDT is timed one week ago. I don't see any from NV or darraghmac.

I think it's a software bug but, as I said before, I can't dig into the back end plus I um really should be doing rl work so I can't do more than surface-testing here.

OK, it's definitely not working for me then because that one should have gone through.

ok kkvgz and enbb, both of yours went through. do you want to keep them or should i 86 them?

darraghmac, can you take the comma out of your username and try again?

or display name, whatever. also KDT, maybe try it again w/the username w/o punctuation in it?

IT'S A CEDILLA THAT'S THE WHOLE FUCKING JOKE

SB'd Three Word Username again at 15:30 ILX time from a different user name and a different browser as well, but I still got the blank screen.

(Internet Explorer 7 here but it doesn't seem to have made a difference.)
