John Justen is an excellent mod. he temp banned me and also gave me the opportunity to discuss the temp ban.
Tombot is ...also a good mod. But I think he might want to recuse himself because everything is personal right now. Tombot also personally emailed me during my tempban experience.

I could not have asked for anything more from JJ and Tombot. They were gentlemen, and they were kind and understanding and NICE.

Temp ban is now a badge - and that's stupid. Taunting the mods is not a great strategy. Getting banned is not something to be proud of.

The worst thing is - I emailed Pashmina, asking why was I barred - only to find out that he had a significant death in his family to deal with. I found this out by reading ilx.
If you want to feel like a worm, I just told you how to do it.

So - we can never really know what is going on with each other, relative strangers, and it's up to us to take the time to think about who we are talking to.

If you need to subvert an existing hierarchy, well - there's a few I can think of.

Thanks, Alison.

Thanks to you too, Grady.

Yes... I think my worry is that there might actually be more noise. Maybe I should track who is looking at admin log!

Excellent idea. I can improve it - looking at admin log results in perma-ban. End of. Would clear board of noise (and possibly all traffic!) within minutes.

ilx is a forum where "controversial mod edit" is a meme

A meme created and nurtured by the people with small dicks who think that their malicious or abusive posts don't somehow deserve deleting on sight.

"who banned so-and-so?"

Who cares? You know and I know that "so-and-so" is almost certainly going to be one in a short list of whiny dicks who see it as a badge of hon ur to be banned. Fuck'em.

Thanks grady, I think I'm pretty on the money. Pretty clear which side of the fence you've chosen and I hope it works out for ya.

Mark C, Saturday, 30 August 2008 23:27 (fifteen years ago) link

The weed is always greener on the other side of the fence.

That's hilarious deezie. I emailed them. So get over your hurt feelings.

Both Tom and John took the time to email me back.
So, whatever, I felt pretty good about having my say.

And that's more than anyone should expect from a situation where you are banned.

None of this is my point. My point is that you do not know what these seemingly innocous /vitally important posts mean to the person on the receiving end.
I don't care if I go down in flames as being overly sensitive - I'm actually pretty tough. But I have seen it - and I have done it - hurting someone just to make myself feel better.
And I don't know - and you don't know - what repercussions that might have.

it's not worth it to be cruel. That shit will bite you back.

I'm also totally with Emily Marie Maki on the emo guys thing.

I have been around here long enough to be able to give some advice.
Learn from my mistakes.

not sure if that's complimentary, but I'll take it as AWESOME!

aimurchie, Sunday, 31 August 2008 04:27 (fifteen years ago) link

its not complimentary

posters like gr8080 & max are out to ruin the ilx experience

deeznuts, Sunday, 31 August 2008 04:27 (fifteen years ago) link

Oh boy! They are going to have to work a lot harder!

aimurchie, Sunday, 31 August 2008 04:41 (fifteen years ago) link

Who are you kissing in that picture, Gr8080. It's so hard to keep up with your conquests. The blue helmet totally suits you. I would lose the glove, but that's just me!
