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

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

UNBAN

http://www.thedailyrock.com/wp-content/uploads/killswitch-engage-cd-cover.jpg

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

said what

and what

as far as http://i54.tinypic.com/11l4yvn.gif goes.. well http://i54.tinypic.com/11l4yvn.gif is http://i54.tinypic.com/11l4yvn.gif i guess

bad timing to start this terrible thread when the suggest ban function has had such a banner day

Uh-oh. Looks like you're going to get banned too.

move on.

don't concern yourself w/the dead.

work on making your posts worthwhile and being a fun kip poster who adds something to the board.

the threadstarter already does a great job of this tbh.

you should at least have to visit a user's profile to SB them

agree with this

(don't agree with the rest of it btw but wgas.jpg, kip)

don't fret gr8080, sb or no sb i'm sure there will be many ways to keep us all fully informed about the tropical bro lyfe

me inviting mookieproof to S my B's:

i am srsly baffled as to how this recent double sbing is a surprise to anyone at all. thats not a comment on whiney or deej, but kind of a choose your battles vibe - like is it really a shock that given the last few days this happened to either of these dudes?

I don't think that anyone is shocked or baffled.

nobody said they were surprised
(xpost)

OPERATION: SHOCK & BAFFLE

Oh he said "choose your battle." Well, that's the telephone game for ya.

it is still a terrible system and just about every forum on the internet gets along fine without it.

amazed at jjjusten missing the point entirely.

i am srsly baffled as to how this recent jjjusten post is a surprise to anyone at all.

i just think that every time this comes up, if you boil it down to the essentials, it isnt a question of fairness, its a question of liking banned dude vs other people getting sick of banned dude doing shit that drives them crazy - whats weird to me is that the liking banned dude camp doesnt really argue the case for them, they just kinda say that people that dont enjoy banned dudes hilarious steez are pussies or jerks or humorless or assholes, often with a sorta superior fuk u newbs vibe. i get that its a bummer when somebody you enjoy gets sbed, but turning to DUMB PEEPS CANT HANDLE THE HOTBOX is a shit argument, and is just more of the same old ilx oldster priv vibe that frankly sucks

xpost oh good, now its about me

maybe if there were a way to suggest ban the suggest ban system...

eh

I use the SB feature all the time, but admit that it would be better for the board if there was a killfile feature.

who have you sb'd?

one of the things that is kinda dumm about sb is that ilx has been noticeably meaner & less fun lately but instead of ppl getting ~feedback~ right away were just going to end up w/ a bunch of random bannings in march

i've sb'd a lot of ppl

dudes, btw, it would be a lot easier to just not ever respond to this stuff when it comes up and live in fortress silent mod, but i feel like its kinda my responsibility to address it rather than just let threads get unacknowledged - but i gotta say, crut, when you do shit like that i get a little why do i bother about the whole deal.

xposts

i used to sb people all the time but then once the expiration policy was put in place it seemed kind of pointless
