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

got to, this america man

maybe when you guys thread ban someone you should nix the sb's accumulated in that thread, otherwise ppl are getting punished twice

snot whiney

THERE IS ALREADY A KILLFILE SYSTEM.

i guess i shouldnt expect anyone to read 300 posts on this but what i was advocating was replacing a SB system that is written into the code and works on all browsers and has an option to vote for a poster's removal next to every post on the board w/ a killfile system that had those same qualities

the current killfile system is "complicated to install" compared to SBing, and only works on firefox anyway.

Yes but most other forums on the internet are fucking terrible - ILX should be BETTER than other internet forums, it's the whole point. I think it was Noodle Vague who said that the primary job of mods should be to prevent ILX becoming like the rest of the internet.

agree w/ this for the most part but the current SB system is still nagl. this is totally anecdotal, (as is "the rest of the internet sucks!") but the board most regular/former ILXors post/lurk on in a similar way is board.crewcial.org which has practically no modding and a killfile system built in to the code

i feel like being permanently banned from multiple threads would be worse than being banned outright for 30 days

many xposts

gr8080 - wasn't solely directed at your thread, or even you at all, actually so far this thread has been a bit more civil than some of the other "Get Rid of SB" threads, mostly due to the absence of a certain person from this thread. It's just at times in this thread, and in the others, it seems to always reach a point where someone (not even necessarily the OP) going "PPL WHO BANNED (NAME) ARE ASSHOLES AND SHAME ON THEM FOR BEING BUTTHURT BY WHAT (NAME) SAID ON (DATE)."

But I'm actually on your side, I am not really in favor of SB system, just saying in general, those who make the argument draw more flies with honey.

what if the SB system was like Yellow Card in which every time you got SBed, a little yellow tag showed up at the top of your screen, along with a personal message. and then for every new SB, it adds another yellow tag.

eventually when you accumulate enough it'll take up the entire screen, and be an entire yellow screen and you can't post. at all. until some roll off.

like the whole logic behind this 'bro needs a break' sb thing is fucking patronzing & lame. i can understand ppl that h8 whiney - i mean man i h8 whiney - but no amount of 'breaks' from ilx is going to change who he is. all it means that for a 1/3 of every year he get to hear his opinions about rap music via goon squaders posting aim transcripts instead of directly or w/e

k8 was right that sb doesnt provide any real incentive to be a 'better poster' - deej was trying in his way to do this already - it just punishes ppl for being unlikeable. & if whiney's antagonistic hipster oracle steez was that terrible - & i think we can all agree it was p terrible - than fine, ban him from ilx if thats what ppl want

get ovr it man

alright, this fucking guy http://twitter.com/#!/WhineyArea51

honest question, because i can't remember: were bans/talk of bans/fear of bans/300+ threads on bans ever this big a part of ILX culture before nu-code/TOMBOT era?

bring back ILX where most bans were from specific threads or boards and done by sub board mods unless for shit on the big 2 and a 3-day ban was the norm not 30

new rule, ppl shd be nice

ok xposts nm perma-ban whiney

^prophetic

ugh can you imagine an ILX where everyone was "nice" 100% of the time it would be the worst

turn that frown upside down, friend!!!!

there's a lot of unclaimed territory between 'nice' and 'whiney g'

whiney was just A PRODUCT OF HIS ENVIRONMENT, man. look at what he was before ILX and what he is now.

ultimately we as a people are responsible :(

I'm positive people shouldn't always be nice #KIP

# Location banned
# Bio clearly the 77 autogoon keepin' it negative dickhole zing posse should run ILX

why is a hyperlink allowing you to "killfile" a poster less gross than one to "suggest ban"

suggest murder

l-r: whiney, ilx

Suggestban is the War on Drugs to Killfile's Pass on Grass.

fwiw it's no big deal to get killfile up on Safari 5

these threads have pretty much reduced the art of writing IMP threads to a huge unreadable mass.

people just gravitate to the "get rid of SB threads" that they want to read about and don't find other threads, because they're staring at a webpage with 2000 words of text on it.

what sb'd do is, you know, little "critical punches." little "smacks in the face."

hahaha

yeah i know it's A LOT OF WORK and everything but can whoever is in charge work on improving the SB experience in ways like this if this godawful system is never going to be taken away

or they can't because it's a waste of time to cater to the ten fucking people who blab on about it incessantly.

the thing where the notifications take up your screen or whatever is kinda cheesy but yeah, real-timeish notifications of when and for what posts for which you've been SB'd would be an improvement

Total SBs received and issued should be on a users profile page. And every time you issue or receive 25 or so, you should get a little symbol after your username after each post... like football helmet reward decals. In general, we need a points systems so we know who the real winners are.

a post's background colors should get increasingly redder the more SBs that post earns.

looool

blacker imo, so eventually it will vanish

now we're cookin'

better option:

instead of colors, add brick JPGs from the bottom to the top of the post until it's entirely covered.

the SB of amontillado

why is a hyperlink allowing you to "killfile" a poster less gross than one to "suggest ban"

because it allows you to dealwithit on yr own w/o affecting others

everytime you get SBed, someone close to you is abducted and flogged

with great posting comes great responsibility

The mods' arguments itt are on the whole otm with the single glaring exception being that the sb system is not necessary.

In this particular case it sounds like whiney got to 51 and the mods said 'oh yeah, he's shitting up the place, temp ban', i.e. the whole sb culture didn't actually need to exist.

that's what happens every time, thanks for your input

Oh come on, if we'd banned Whiney outright exactly the same people would have been complaining.

yea then it'd be "why didn't we have a say"

no it'd still be "people who ban people for being annoying are douchebags"

honest question, because i can't remember: were bans/talk of bans/fear of bans/300+ threads on bans ever this big a part of ILX culture before nu-code era?

Can't remember if you were here during the C-man/Momus days, but yes they were, very much so.

Oh come on, if we'd banned Whiney outright exactly the same people would have been complaining.
