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

problem is no matter how often some of us said "knock off the beef", it...kept...on....going.

no disrespect to either of em cuz they're valid contributors, and I want em back, but...I think both of em need time off

i wd like a killfile system

mods are manipulating suggest ban totals fyi

classic thread, classic closing post

keep it negative dickhole 77 zing posse

clearly!

Maybe when someone gets sb'ed their posts can be displayed only in WingDings font

understand people getting annoyed with snipe fest but it still holds that you need to post in the way you want the board to be. Sitting idly by with your arms crossed is just passive-aggressive worthlessness.

except when that's the way we want the board to be: quieter.

Bnw like 70 people gave them direct feedback in the threads geez

At least 51 people each have offered direct feedback in the last 6 months.

i mean some dude gave deej several "come on, cool out w/ it" posts in the new Diddy album thread a few months ago, and they were all otm comments

and by few months ago I mean more like one, geez January felt long

a bold suggestion: imprison all sb'd posters to I LOVE CRICKET: THE CHINATOWN OF ILX: THE CHINATOWN OF ILX: THE CHINATOWN OF ILX: THE CHINATOWN OF ILX for three months
--Favourite Song, Album and Band? Icehouse. (King Boy Pato)

i would like to enthusiastically endorse this idea

^^^

The current killfile script thingo only works if you only ever use Firefox. These days a lot of us spend most of our ilx time ON IPHONE and therefore have stuff-all access to scripts &c.

One thing that strikes me about this particular 51 is the sheer number of people (inc. me) who were fed up with wgw's dickishness but didn't sb him. Clearly waaaaaay more than 51 people had had enough.

That's not to say that I support the sb system btw but I'm not prepared to argue my point yet again because it makes no difference.

I would fully endorse getting rid of the suggest ban system if I could be allowed to permanently ban a list of people from the boards.

I am pretty sure I can guess one of the people on that list.

Yeah, this has been particularly noticeable this time.

I'm pretty stoked DJP gave up on being a site mod!

i feel like it might be a nice to have suggest bans be executed on single boards only

gr80, you normally one of the board's most relaxed people, but sbanning discussions bring out the apoplectic PTA mom in you.

I'll take that as a compliment!

sometimes fighting for what u believe in is nagl :-(

posting

is the ILX source code still available? i kinda wanna poke around and see how difficult it would be to implement some stuff..

I used to think the sb system was pretty ridiculous but I feel like mods should be given props for making it more reasonable w/ clearing out old sbs + turning it into a 1 month break instead of a permaban. anyone who posts here enough to get 51 sbs could use a 1 month break from this site once in a while. whereas a easy-to-use killfile system would be pretty disruptive and unpleasant.

i hate when ppl cop this 'tude. even when some of my favorite posters cop it. fuck you i'll leave ILX when i want to thanks.

look, you're coming at this from the perspective of someone who was banned for a ridiculous reason and I could understand having a kneejerk reaction towards mods and bannings, I might too if I were in your position. but I dunno how many times a day you refresh ilx but I can say for me the number is 'probably too many'. this is one website among millions and a month without being able to say something is such a lol punishment that it's not even worth arguing about anymore. (it was worth arguing about when it was a permaban.)

in conclusion no man ever sits in his deathbed and thinks "I wish I had spent more time reading whiney and deej beef with each other"

Me too, because now I can tell you what a useless waste of space you are without having a chorus of people screaming that I'm abusing mod powers.

Fuck off, you useless shit-stirrer.

iatee i agree w/ what yr saying but imo ppl need to make that decision for themselves. fwiw i was against sb's before by stupid 60-day ban, and i was against it before i took a self-imposed hiatus for over a year.

DJP stay on topic, please.

even though ive (rarely) clicked the SB button myself i'm pretty resolutely against the function, and i don't see how anyone could be for it given its history

oh i understand why people are in favor of it, i just think its kind of gross that it exists

I actually think few people are aware of the fact that the sb system was created to keep minorities off ilx xp

if SB's aren't going away can we add a "suggest stay" button next to every post?

rude!!

tombot-esque!

harlan!

funny thing is people forget ethan even stanned for the SB system

this thread and the lineage from which it comes are the strongest arguments in favor of keeping the sb system, think about how much comedy drama we would miss out on otherwise

to everybody complaining about the system I suggest man up and dealwithit.gif

sb'd you for that

the amount of weed carrying that gets done for mods around here is sickening btw, let them defend themselves, they have all the power

So since this us kinda winding down - just to clarify there aren't any actual arguments in this thread for getting rid of suggest ban other than

1. I don't like it
2. People I like get sbed so sb is bad
3. It is gross because having it by every post makes ilx look bad to the rest of the Internet
4. It enables sissies/pussies/the thin skinned/the passive aggressive and they should directly approach the sbed dude because that is what I think I would do if I were them

Absolutely none of which is convincing to me at all.

uh oh

god save the mod
