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

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

more otm now than ever before

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.

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

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

i think ive only sb'd once out of genuine "plz stop posting, you're a terrible human being" impulse but for awhile i thought it was lol to sb ppl who had asked for their totals on the 77 thread

oh def anyone who posts on that thread deserves an sb, thats a given

the +1 joke is a classic

also, no one has been permabanned because of sb iirc. which i feel is one of the things that kinda gets glossed over in these discussions - if anything permabans are less frequent with this in place. which is good, right?

i generally agree w/that sentiment but on the other hand we have lost some of our mightiest posters to the permaban

if i cld choose btw getting rid of site new answers or suggest ban i would choose site new answers

yeah, site new answers is such an unavoidable presence on the board

right, so the big permaban list is

jw
abcmovieoftheweekfaceslap.jpg
heave
dom
roger adultery
pew
nude spock
spammer assholes
(peeps i am missing that i dont remember that somebody will bring up i am sure)

none of this is thx to sb tho

xpost: see the secret to site new answers is "set font color to light tan for iltmi the boards which you have limited interest in"

I have iltmi to light tan! But that's so I don't get weird looks.

i miss backwater boards

will never miss whiney or deej.

it's a good point though that 'Suggest Ban' next to every post is oppressive. aesthetically it just looks mean

yeah its been pointed out a million times but its just so negative, theres no button for loving someone

gabbneb was permab& after his 102 iirc

fwiw my problem w/ sna is that it prevents any of the subboards from developing & maintaing a distinct personality & stlye bcuz ppl just sort of read & post to everything

well except I LOVE CRICKET: THE CHINATOWN OF ILX: THE CHINATOWN OF ILX no1 reads that board

the problem is if you read I LOVE CRICKET: THE CHINATOWN OF ILX: THE CHINATOWN OF ILX it blows yr mind and you cant post anymore

stet once said that the code could be written for boards to opt out of site new answers. that would be dope.

huh you might be right about gabbneb - if so thats probably dumb and should be reversed because dude was never a real problem iirc. so hey gabbneb if you are reading this come home all is forgiven (until yer next sb)

the lack of a like button to offset the sb is a big part of this phenomenon btw: "it isnt a question of fairness, its a question of liking banned dude".

also as far as i can tell deeznuts and burt were both permab& after just 51 burt even had a thinly-veiled new account he made mod banned like six months after he was 51'd

no one would ever get sb'd w/ a counter button

you'd need like 75-80 diff ppl to SB you just to reach 50 prob

just to be clear here - outside of crazy real deal racist/sexist/homophobic bullshit from the heart and stalky personal creepy i am pretty much 1000% agin permabans - and thats prob why i am capn pro sb, because i think its like a parolee thing. which gets back to the last 2 sbs - whiney was kinda willfully hell bent for sb leather, and deej was sorta so wrapped up in the whole impenetrable me right u rong vibe that maybe a timeout isnt the worst thing ever for either of them.

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

this is why i frequently refresh my SBs on people i desire to see banned - not sure how long theyre in the system but i dont want to be the guy who could push someone over the top and failed to do so

fwiw in my head i still blame the advent of SNA for a couple of my old bans - it was just such a sea change and i'd suddenly find myself exposed to all kinds of threads i previously would've ignored, like R.I.P. threads for guys in power pop bands
