post here if you want [s]forks[/s] mods to stop changing thread titles without being asked to do so

i think non-mods should be able to change thread titles too -- like if a certain number of us, say, 51, dislike a thread title, the mods should have to change it for us.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_a_Good_Life_(The_Twilight_Zone)

I do agree with this, actually. Forks is a good dude, but it does strike me as a pointless abuse of mod powers.

esp. regarding such an iconic thread title as "People that YELP are scumbags"

Didn't actually change that one but will support its malleability

Sometimes I think it's appropriate for moderators to make changes that haven't been requested, but it's NAGL to do so purely for amusement IMO

i mean i'm not 100% opposed to some mod lolz but if after a day or two the OP requests it be changed back and the OP is ignored and the stupid joke becomes permanent, well then that's just not the way i think ILX should run

#IsSPINreallycirclingthedrain?

please add "surely some mistake!" to the end of that thread title pls

yeah what was the original title of that thread?

that was the original title, except without the hashtag and with spaces between the words

i would also like this to stop

yeah I would like that Spin title changed back, please.

could the Clusterfuck Summary Corner thread title be restored to its original glory?

can i also just add, that when users of msg board ILX make a request to the mods on these boards, that it's kind of a shitty look for mods to taunt the mod-power-less users and threaten reprisals

this applies to this thread and also requesting my post be changed back from a mod-lolz comedy edit to its original form

its ok to be a corny mofo, just don't force it on other people

are you saying forks is the Monsanto of mods?

^^ perfect example

love off forks

it used to be that when you bookmarked a thread w/ a changed title, the bookmark would have the old title, alas now no longer

i love all of forks comedy edits except the "bags of scum" one

the "bags of scum" one is totally weak. whiney otm

in before "ilx is not a democracy"

it's a 1984-type democracy sorta, I can't even remember what threads to be angry about because forks changed them all

did they even exist

it's closer to Animal Farm

some threads are more equal than others

brb, got a hot chick in room 101

Don't care about this issue, but why are there lines between posts now? We might as well get gif avatars and sigs. It got uglier here. Like the new default stylesheet otherwise.

i suggest starting a different thread, bamcquern

I suggest you go to hell.

i suggest you make yr own css toughie

This thread addresses the tough issues

forks dont let these guys bully you never stop unfunny modding you need to be tru 2 u

i suggest you make yr own css toughie

I don't want to have to log in.

forks could you please resume editing gr80's posts, that was pretty lol

ps

some1 start a forks vs gr8080 poll thread I don't want to cause drama

if you switch to old.css the lines go away!

i didn't even notice the lines until you mentioned them

bamcquern, you want this thread:

Holy fuckfarts, has the site layout changed?

^^ threads where i would welcome a forks title-change (surely forks couldn't make it any worse) (dear forks: this is not an invitation to try and make that thread title worse)

kiu forks

holy forkfuck

clusterfork

http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=40&threadid=83829

whoops we missed one

here is the starter of that thread kindly requesting it be changed back

http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?showall=true&bookmarkedmessageid=2872442&boardid=40&threadid=83829

we could move it back to 77 too while we're at it i guess

can i also just add, that when users of msg board ILX make a request to the mods on these boards, that it's kind of a shitty look for mods to taunt the mod-power-less users and threaten reprisals

otm

title change yes

move back to 77 no

thank u based mod

some dude i don't want to post on that other thread since its become such a disgrace, but i would like to point out that you were very otm wrt jjj and his mod proclamations, good dude tho he otherwise may be

yeah he's a good guy! they're all swell guys, great posters in other contexts.

the lack of support you got from the rest of the thread (not to mention "sincere fuck you's" from other mods) really speaks to my feeling that ilx is becoming less and less a place for me

y'know, i really do see everyone's POV on it, from darragh's indifference to people who have the absolute opposite opinion from mine, and things aren't so bad, would have to be a lot worse for me to start thinking like that. prior to the yellowcard i'd barely ever even been the object of any modding ever (never been banned, can't remember ever posting anything so bad it needed to be deleted, not counting violating forks's "no drama" youtube thread). but now and again i think it's good to speak up, if for no reason than if mods don't hear any feedback about what they're doing they can just assume their job approval rating is 100% and carry on doing things that they might stop or at least hesitate and think twice about doing once they hear the arguments against it.

literally a cluster of fucks

good post imo some dude

thx

i maintain my stance that mods gleefully pranking regular users is conduct unbecoming

s1ocki otm

There's no point in becoming a mod if there isn't the incentive of getting to fuck with people in annoying-yet-harmless ways

yeah fwiw i'm down w/ that, strongo best mod alltime etc, the problem is forks is really really really bad at it.

lol yes exactly

yep

forks dont let these guys bully you never stop unfunny modding you need to be tru 2 u

yeah even though he single handedly ruined the clusterfuck thread, I think he deserves another chance

i 100% disagree that forks single-handedly ruined that thread. it would have went on just fine if it weren't for 100 ilxors trying to guess what forks' mysterious auto-replace was for hundreds of posts. you all played right in to forks' hands smdh

lmao

otm

hahahaha

i'm looking @ u iatee >:-[

forks enablers: name and shame

i'm already out. KIU forks, pottery

btw i said i didn't support balls' tempban but didn't realize it was a threadban. good use of a threadban imo

good strategic use of mod resources

like banning a dog from a bathtub

lol

lol the title change on this one was a little premature:

Netflix - Not bad! Qwikster - uh, never mind...
