an open letter to the mods from Whiney G. Weingarten

this is a good one to let go smack w/a spiny fish

The fact that peeps still invoke tombot in these threads like you are survivors of some despotic Internet police state is totally fucking pathetic as well btw.

*cowers instinctively*

from whiney:

I 100% feel like I was temp-banned for annoying Dan Perry and nothing else. I have learned absolutely nothing from this experience and when I return in 27 days, I will continue to post as I always have, even--and especially--if that includes lightly poking fun of the terrible mod decisions of Dan and jjjusten. If they're too thin-skinned to handle that, they can continue temp-banning me and everyone until ILX is the boring cuddle party they so clearly desire.

miss u, dude

Also, the two of them are being more mean and meta-snarky on this this thread than ANY of my gags about moving the finest thread. This is a ridiculous double standard. And pathetic. And honestly i'm proud to be banned from any site where moderators can dish it all day out but cannot take it.

max channeling the spirit of whiney is super weird

the length of these bans is straight ridiculous

Uh yknow pretty sure nothing I've said on this thread is up to par snarkwise with repeatedly talking about how the mods love rape jokes so whatever dude.

do THE MODS LOVE RAPE JOKES?

so this is 27 days because that's all the system will allow? what happened to three day temp bans?

no

temp bans are automatically made longer by the system each time

Wow jhosh yknow it actually really bums me out that we used to get along on this site but then I became a mod and now you seem to go out of your way to be a dick to me.

oh xp

jj

1. i do like you and i reget and apologize for any previous excessively feeling hurting behavior, but that was clearly an hilarious text formatting based joke

2. if you dont want people to give you shit re being a mod, just dont be a mod, easy

anyway imo this is a ridiculous ban but whatever

i feel like unperson should be banned for even being collateral damage in this dust up

ban unperson

come unpeople now, smile on your brother

xp - as mod of 1p3 you can ban ph1l from that board - granted he doesn't post there - but maybe it'd make you feel better?

if he posted on 1p3 i would ban him

i.e. i banned princess tamtam

could you pretend to post as him and then ban him?

Yeah this is an awesome direction to take this thread

it was going so well before

in the interest of science, can't he just be banned for three days?

three days is a pretty limp, non-threatening ban tbh

yeah but Whiney likes indie rock womanhood, doesn't he?

i have irl fondness for whiney and take no pleasure in sharing this, but y'all should be aware (and whiney has already been made aware) that dude is perched right at 51 and he is likely going to be taking a three month ban extremely shortly so this is all kind of a moot point

wait, why would he be taking a 3 month ban?

102 = 3 month

but Kate got 102'ed and got let back in 30 days!

why don't captainlorax's bans get progressively longer ;)

why are you trying to get rid of the capn

^^ unperson's a big fan of the Railroad

but Kate got 102'ed and got let back in 30 days!

for real? *scratches chin*

also i don't think jagger was gone for three

they're a colombian band
xpost

nah LJ only got another 30 - but he's kinda the ilx equivalent of a made guy imo

guys, i don't keep up with the ban bylaws; all I'm saying is that he's at 51. Whatever the stand-in-the-corner time is with that.

you had me worried there - this could seriously derail our ultra-scientific study

it's also convenient that whiney got banned on the cusp of 51 so when he comes back from his 27 (lol) day ban he'll post for like 2 days & then get a 30 day

Well except for the fact that some of his sbs would expire and he'd be less likely to accrue new ones but feel free to roll on w/yer none dare call it a conspiracy vibe

ha, i'm not saying it's a conspiracy! just that if he was that close to being sb'd maybe just wait until he gets sb'd or just incur his sb on this ban but whatever idk about the mechanization of the sb

Sorry then, misread how u meant convenient.

but j0rdan, what would happen if Dan went back on his word and unbanned Whiney? I mean, wouldn't that make mods look weak or soft or something?

I have learned absolutely nothing from this experience and when I return in 27 days, I will continue to post as I always have

kind of loling at the idea that whiney would have magically 'reformed' if he had been 30 day'd by via the more traditional route
