im getting bored of the whole variant question/same answer routine, so heres a little play for you all i call "Equally possible ILE threads: Two threads in two acts" (Pls allow for some creative license ie the unlikelyhood of the party in act two)

Act 1, Thread 1:

My neighbours are having a party again! Its loud!
-- Bee 1

Im SO sorry, Bee 1! How dreadful. *hugs!*
-- Bee 2

OMG!! They should burn in hell! Call the cops. Take it to the city. Youve got rights!
-- Bee 3

Yeah, but you don't have an apostophe. :P
-- HotGrammarCop (imustbeintelligentbecauseicanpunctu✧✧✧@mommysai✧✧✧.o✧✧)

Show up at their door with a knife!
Better still...AN AXE!
-- Bee 4

LOL!!!!1!11 OMG You should totally do that.
-- Random Kiss Ass

Act 2, Thread 2:

Someone showed up at my door with an axe last night! I was having a party!
-- Bee 1

Im SO sorry, Bee 1! How dreadful. *hugs!*
-- Bee 2

OMG!! They should burn in hell! Call the cops. Take it to the city. Youve got rights!
-- Bee 3

Yeah, but you don't have an apostophe. :P
-- HotGrammarCop (imustbeintelligentbecauseicanpunctu✧✧✧@mommysai✧✧✧.o✧✧)

You should have another party next weekend!
Better still...A LOUDER PARTY!
-- Bee 4

LOL!!!!1!11 OMG You should totally do that.
-- Random Kiss Ass

anyone who cares that much about having an accurate # of currently active users should a month doing excruciating work looking at every post on every thread and keeping count of what people post and how often.

the point isnt to have an accurate number the point is to point out that 51 is bullshit

anyway i forgot: i'm over it

im honestly curious as to how many people post regularly, not for sb purposes, just for knowing purposes

me too

i curious how many "frequent lurkers" there are and how often they SB

what about the subset of posters who never saw the offending posts though? you'd be setting the bar really high considering there's a lot of active users who only read certain rolling threads or subforums. if someone's being a dick on ILM and only 40% of active users read ILM, they'd have immunity.

if only it were possible to ban someone from a particular board say whiney and deej from ilm hmmm no SB system is fine how it is

btw i v much support the concept of keeping one board open to the s banned and imo it would be hilarious

i always read "sb" as shit-banned

shit-banned with extreme prejudice

sbed w/ep

aphex twins sbed ep

a subboard for the sugbanned would just be hundreds of posts of "to so-and-so on such-and-such ILE thread: you're so wrong, and i had a great zing for that i would've posted if i could"

otm it would be mostly sad kind of pointless

Whether it's half or a quarter of whatever is defined as an active user is irrelevant. Let's do one of those annoying and pointless irl analogies:

A man is having a seriously noisy party with loud music, shouting, fighting, people throwing up in the street and lots of generally antisocial and dickish behaviour. He is really annoying several (say 5) of his neighbours. Should their complaints carry any weight at all when like 50 people live in that street and 25 of them are at the party getting mashed and don't give a shit?

― AYE... MON THEN -----O----- (onimo), Monday, 7 February 2011 20:15 (55 minutes ago)

in the US if one neighbor complains the cops will show up, so by this logic the 51 should be lowered to 1

that would be AWESOME and then I would def use the SB function

still trying to wrap my mind around the "moral justification" of a banning
most of what we discuss on here is krautrock, hot chicks, predator ships, duke nukem and waka flocka
moral doesn't live here anymore alice

With all the Goldberg-style solutions being suggested here allow me to contribute my own algorithm (it's complex so please bear with me):

1. sb ends
2. mods do modding

\(^o^)/

that idea is so bad

How about this idea:

Don't piss off 51 people in 6 months.

seems p obv theres no "scientific" method that will make sb more fair or w/e to the ppl who think its like some evil regime. the only thing is that i mean the more u post the more u can piss ppl off i think. this is the only objection that kindof makes sense to me. i mean i am super cranky i just dont really take things srsly i guess but yeah some dude otm i have had crazy legroom to be an asshole w/o getting sbed but maybe i just post less than wgw idk. also e/time i see wgw i think of wong kar wai.'hi everyone

re: plax's post --

That's a good point. I'm pretty sure I could get 51'd in a week if I offered up every opinion I own, but in the past year or so I've generally stopped giving a fuck if all of you, or any of you, know what I think. (The past couple of days has been a huge burst of activity from me, like 50 posts, gee wow.) I guess WGW especially has developed a livelihood that necessarily involves broadcasting every time a synapse fires in his head. What a horrible way to live, frankly.

yes, agree that frequent posters run a higher risk of SBing than intermittent ones

too bad there's no more statscock to verify these important findings

people who don't like it will never be happy so it follows we should make no attempt to improve it ever.

I want to take back the "what a horrible way to live" bit and apologize to whiney for that. Unnecessary.

you can post all the time all over ilx and go through a few months without collecting more than a few SBs. you can be an asshole and not get halfway to 50. but if you're annoying you'll get there with time to spare.

people who don't like it will never be happy

we should all learn to live with things we don't like

and if we can't, well we can always ban them from our internet fishbowl

we should all learn to live with things we don't like
