Self-banning: what is ilx policy on this?

truth bomb

wait, shit

people talk about not-posting to this worthless hole where people wring hands about "The Weeknd" and big-up "Girl Wut Slugs" like its quitting smoking

welll i guess were not all lucky enough to have our doctors forcibly prescribing us the patch every couple of months like some ppl

longest i have gone w/out posting to ilx since i started = 4 months
longest i have gone w/out a cigarette since i started smoking = 20 hrs

I don't begrudge or judge people who self-ban but I don't get it myself. I've had a few "fuck this shit I'm leaving ilx" moments but I just stop posting quietly. idk, maybe I just have a super capacity for self-discipline.

if someone can develop a sb system that will keep me from smoking for 30 days, i would probably be a much healthier person

I have self-banned by not posting and self-banned by requesting to be actually banned from the site. I relied on the latter when part of the reason for my self ban was that I was about to embark on some deadline-heavy, stressful, boring bullshit at work and I knew there was no way I could just not post because ILX, for better or worse, is often the antidote to my stressful, boring job.

I love the mods though!

sorry mane i think i confused you w/ zvoosbter maybe?

i self-ban on a regular basis thru the medium of "disliking most of ilx". ironically ur not included: if u only had some erudite, interesting, but entirely rong opinions on rap then one of us would be the other's evil twin. this is something u just have to face up to.

lol
i gave up on music c. 1999 -- i like rap, but it was better when based on huge effing samples imo

The ENBB thing is nothing to do with me, I still think people who self-request bans should get one self-control but that's just me and not official mod policy.

Basically as long as ur not being a jerk about it or waffling, i am glad to ban u, just ilxmail me.

umm lol I seem to remember a deleted tweet that said "when my ban expires, I won't be back"

my official mod policy on everything re: ilx self-banning is people should stop giving a shit what other people do all the time

I agree, tbh I found the hand-wriging when E asked for one to be more than a little ... it made me squirm slightly.

iirc the hand-wringing had nothing to do with E - everyone likes her

everyone likes her

otm

Um, that wasnt what I meant, but never mind.
