s.b.

from now on as a rule i'm shitbanning all of you with extreme prejudice.

we've managed to forget, but in ILX's more contentious past, there were far MORE bannings. they were board bannings (noize, 1p3) not site bans, but were far more common than now. i liked it. you never knew when a ban was coming gour way, wouldn't know why, no one/no way to argue it. kept posters on their toes imo. it was quality control, and those boards were better for it.

now it's all one big board. site new answers. it's too bad.

more like 51 51 666

honestly, i think that if the posters who get 51-ed have no idea why they're accumulating so many sb's, they must to some extent have their fingers in their ears going "la lalalala i can't hear you." While I'm sure that some posters just press the button as their only means of registering a complaint, there are always several posters who will be more public with their criticism.

temporary timeouts can be great. i've basically suggest-banned myself a few times and then come back after some months. my favorite posters are the ones that come and go: amon, estela, roxy. go out in the world, do your thing, then come back to us. del, you're like this and i appreciate it. imo we all need time off from here, self-imposed or not.

there is the danger of TAKING UR BAN 2 SRSLY, and i feel for those people, but then i look at jordan and whiney and even morbius: ok u guyz got me, i'll take my month off and respect that, but sure as hell i'm coming back. can't keep those dudes down, and i get that.

we make too big a deal of what should be a good thing. whoever was last banned should personally thank each of the 51.

Thread of missing dell

"it doesn't happen that often" is a terrible justification for any policy

if its for low level irritation then we need an offset button where we can vote up posts of value.

that works well on youtube, anyway

i think what it comes down to is the spitballin smokin in the boys room motherfuckers in the back of the room don't like the idea that the rest of their classmates can have them kicked out for being disruptive

'u r taking my right to be disruptive'

of course this idea presupposes that we're all here 'for' something, that there's a something to be disrupted, when a lot of people are just here to bullshit and be internet loudmouths and have fun. i am one of these.

we're here for different reasons i guess and we'll never see sb the same way imo

<3 u so much right now hoos (/aero)

hey, here's a thought: every so often i get particularly annoyed by _______'s--usually one of the same half-dozen or so posters, iirc--acting like an asshole and punch SB. and, somehow, i imagine they likewise do the same when fed up with my more asinine behavior here. end result: we end up with somewhat less than a dozen SBs at any given 6 month time period, i'd imagine. big fucking deal. life goes on.

otm

not sure there's been a single 'comedy' sb yet, unless ppl were sbannin lj for the lols one of the times.

forget 'post your sb number' -- i wanna see who's handing them all out.

i think i may have hit it four times? maybe a couple more that i've forgotten durnk.

how baout just having an ignore list? has it been discussed? seems like a less obtrusive way for ppl who get annoyed by certain posters to not have to deal w/em

would that be the same as the whatchoocallit code

killfile

oh i suppose it's very possible that that's already implemented and i just don't know about it or how to use it. there's a lot i don't know about this board tho

check it out at the bottom of the 'boards' page. seems like a lot of hassle imo.

this was a v reasonable sb discussion imo tip of the cap to del

^

when are we bringing this back btw

we raised the money for it, stop holding out on us

Money?

No ban for your buck.

^^^punning scared

punning up that hill (...) make a deal with mods

sb5 needs to be implemented to take advantage of html5 imo

otm
