post here if you favor replacing our Suggest Ban system with a Killfile system

I agree with this 100% BUT a killfile only blocks the user, not all the responses to that user. So you'd still get all of the clusterfuck but none of the context.

right i get this.

would still rather live in an ILX where ppl have to deal w/ that vs one where that trumps my right to post

maybe people should only be able to have their sb against a poster count once, so it they are instrumental in a banning any future sb they give them doesn't count. this would help thwart unprovoked new sbs being dished out as soon as someone returns from a ban.

a modest proposal but the time for modest proposals is behind us

damn why do i always get awesome ideas late on fridays when no one is posting

urban deeznuts

unban everyone

so for every SB'ed poster, we get a new thread about abolishing SB.

that's like getting a bottle of cyanide with every box of Cheerios

if you consider awesome posters being banned a box of cheerios

WHICH THEY CERTAINLY ARE NOT MY FRIEND

uh, which their being banned certainly is not, rather

it's night and i'm not making sense, so later

no shit, you called whiney one of the funniest posters

hey plax i know you're still kind of new here but he is

markers, thank you for offering your snaxpert opinion.

whiney is funny but it's like even though deej should just know when to let it go, there is something pretty annoying about somebody who knows he's going to provoke a clusterfuck response that shits up a thread continuing to do so just for his own amusement.

admittedly it was funny at first but it got to the point where I didn't wanna open up rap threads anymore.

whiney is nowhere near as funny or as big a board asshole as ethan (whom i sb'd, i'll admit) was.

yet we carry on, however poorer for their absence.

i wont argue this.

i still think its stupid to ban someone for so long for behaving that way. grow a pair and engage them or just learn to ignore it.

i don't really like the SB system either fwiw, i'm used to message board mods determining my fate on other boards

oh we have plenty of that here too

I know, I've suffered the fates several times, and one SBing!

but I deserved them all

echoing gr80, markers, etc. etc. & missing whiney so throwing my opinion in the hat

Imo suggest unban would allow for trolly hateables to get the boot while divisive but lovable rogues will be free to be gangster

agree with gr80 that ban unbar should be profile and not post based

UNBAN

or maybe when you hit 51 you have to beat a benchmark score on Arkanoid to stay

maybe we could just have a system where you could mysteriously be sent sent to boarding school/bootcamp/juvie/who knows after your mum reads your posts?

Maybe if you get 51 you get to have an avatar?

maybe the suggest tool could be turned into something absolutely helpful, like if someone posts an ugly pic of themselves in the WDYLL thread, you can 'suggest haircut'

30 day ban is for low level dickishness, 90 day is for low level dickishness repeated to the point of cluelessness

lol he really got under your skin huh

i'd be *shocked* if modship makes a retarded call like banning a sometimes annoying but ultimately harmless poster for 90 days over some bullshit

maybe we should only ban people who are blatantly racist, abusive, posting other ppl's personal info, or non-funny spammers

~re-think banning w/ me~

Well, to posit a few questions that come up every time this is discussed - where do we draw the line at racist? Abusive?

Would old-time cankles comedy racist posts be considered prejudiced? What about discussing Burzum? What about some Britisher not understanding black people?

Not really talking about myself. Just trying to draw out your whole platform.

when i say abusive i'm talking about the kind of horrible, un-clever, humorless shit no one ever posts on ILX because as a community we're almost always above it, which is what makes ILX so great compared to most other internets

speaking of cankles, its kind of funny that he's allowed to post again (don't get me wrong, i'm glad this is the case) considering his perma-banning in august of 2008 led to a backlash of posters that resulted in a rollout of the suggest ban function 4 or 5 weeks later.

also as much as mods still have poor judgment wrt non-SB long term bans, its nowhere near how bad it was under TOMBOT and his hair trigger response, making SB's obsolete?

Draw the line where in real life you would punch them in the face or call the cops. Not where you would throw a drink in their face. Certainly not the SB system where if you're obnoxious 50 times in 6 months you get a month in solitary.

abolish ban culture

let us post freely

believe with me

no way dude suggest ban is effing hilarious

^^

more hilarious than a board cancels, ethan, dom, and whiney can all post to?

cankles*

ethan hasn't been banned in ages. he just decided not to come back after the ban was lifted.

the point stands

dom

u drunk, meng

he left in part cuz dom was permabanned

cancels(?) posts here under a new name

he just said that
