did morbs really need to be banned?

Refresh my non-memory. Are bans no longer determined by reaching a magic number of flagged posts?

xp ok, didn't see that, that's a bad look

just sort of felt bad for him after all the (afaict unsubstatiated) shit that was being thrown at him following that comment and him not being able to defend himself. but irl attacks like that aren't cool

Refresh my non-memory. Are bans no longer determined by reaching a magic number of flagged posts?

They are, but the name change from SB to FP sucked a lot of the rhetorical heat out of their use, and hitting the button happens a lot less often now. Temp or perma bans have always been available by mod discretion, even when SB was in play.

FREE MORBS

i missed the whatever irl shit went down but morbs was getting battered in that thread for little reason

If he's the one that deleted his tantrum thread over at the FB group, then a time out is definitely warranted.

RIP MORBS

is he coming back?

I wasn't in the discussion abt the ban because some chucklehead was in the store playing blink 182

assuming from "first lady" there's a #DNC thread with 458 posts of morbs going ham on everyone in it even before he starts dropping divorce-bombs

first result for "tantrum thread"

OK I couldn't help looking, and fair play to him for not calling JB out by his real name when shit got heated bcz it gave us

That SN does often bring great lol justice I must say.

Also I'm sorry to fuel this but "I'd draw you a Venn diagram but you'd probably just shout at it." is killing me.

Did the real naming of Morbs happen before or after the IRL zing? 'cause I think that matters.

Before iirc tbh, via DJP.

Didn't take long for everyone to hop aboard after that tho.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEpRBI-VxLc

The real naming of Morbs happened in response to him using my last name in a snotty, dismissive post; I was responding in kind.

DJP, your last name's still in that thread too, whereas morbs was redacted, in case you would want to get someone to take care of that.

oh no I liked him, he posted cool movie links

I don't care that much, it was in my display name for years. The real point is that I was not the first person to play the "real name when shit gets heated" card; I also think that if dude is going to spend 90% of his time on that thread saying hateful content-free shit, he should occasionally have his name tied to it but that's just me.

I just wanna add I was a first responder in making a display name based on Morbs' al shipley within minutes

When is ILX scheduled to tether profiles to Facebook again?

i think a good general rule should be if you could be replaced by a bot that just repeats the same 10 phrases in random threads at random intervals, you should probably be banned

Tell me more about these feelings.

how long is morbs ban it says 'temp ban' on the admin log

you need a time out, imho

Ban Site Admin

has anyone ever posted the phrase, what a horribly formed "babby"!

you shouldnt be banned just replaced w/a bot that just repeats the same 10 phrases in random threads at random intervals

what about if you do nothing but repeat the same 10 phrases but the name of the indie band you're polling changes from phrase to phrase?

maybe i shd poll that

yeah but as you pretty much just said, using his name is different, so it was a conscious, provocative escalation on your part. this was kind of my implicit point, that morbs, not being so buddy-buddy with some of the mods, might not be getting equal treatment.

for the record whiney i had a morbs irl display name about 2 years ago ^_^

mads did 9/11

kev is your point that que is buddy buddy w/ the mods?

FWIW, Morbs has posted links to his professional work on ILX, so his true identity isn't exactly a state secret. That said, people wielding govt. names like a weapon is NAGL.

WHY R MODS AFRAID OF GRILL TALK ON ILX

lagoon yellowcarded, more govt-name fun & games = tempban

You Have Been Yellow Carded By a Moderator: Assembling a stupid tortured pun in order to post someone's govt name

it was an awesome and hilarious pun and totally better than anything u ever came up fyi w/whichever mod im directing this message at

I just hung out w/morbs a month ago and had beers! I genuinely like the dude and have mentioned that multiple times on ilx, so you are def off wrt at least one mods position.

I like him too and he keeps things peppy, but he's definitely also:

morbs is a gangster imo

"gangsters don't ask questions" - lil wayne

morbs is cool but he p unpalatable in the darkness of my soul let me show you them mode

i wouldnt say morbs had to be banned but i would say that someone had to sit down with him and say "morbs, look at this"

so you're saying he didn't have to be banned just sexually harassed

no we tried that on the gay thread

"take off your top"

i'm just saying if someone had just asked morbs "morbs: how would you feel? no--how do you really feel?," then touch him on the chest, "...in here" then maybe we never would have had this problem in the first place!

Uh, does Morbs really seem like the type to respond positively to an empathetic plea?

i'm just saying if someone had hired a skywriter to write "Keep it real, Morbs!" over downtown brooklyn this morning maybe--MAYBE--things would have turned out differently

I think what flopson is trying to say is

http://gifsoup.com/view3/1578300/the-grinch-heart-grows-o.gif

i'm just saying someone needs to have "morbsplained" it to him, if you know what i mean ;-)

the grinch's ballsac grew three times that day

lol

& morbs ballsac (presumably) remained the same size -- and here we are wondering why he acted the way we did. it's selfish of us, really!

Dr. morbius has my unilateral support in this trying time

morbius deserves everything he gets

so the good dr. deserves yr support

You gotta not let these sick-arse Ilx trolls get you down, Doc

for better or worse

romans 12:3 - for by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.

should be the moderator's creed

just wanna say: i didn't want Dr M. to be banned, nor did i ask him to be banned by my good buddies the mods, i just wanted that dumbass post to be deleted.

rough year for the old guy

I have some perspective on this whole thing but I'm not really at liberty to divulge and though the whole Que thing was a little over my head, I thought it was as low as calling the FLOTUS a chienne but morbs is def not a happy camper right now.

links to "my professional work," hah! Never got paid a red cent for any of that. What decade do you think this is, No Lunch?

Well, that sure learned me! The ostensible rumored reason for my ban (there's no way to know, of course, since the Star Chamber Log lists no reasons) makes even less sense than the M. Obama one. People have been using offboard info to shit on me for years and never been touched (they did during that clusterfuck).

― Hungry4Ass, Thursday, September 6, 2012 8:54 PM (2 days ago)

without having seen the redacted posts and whatever notionally terrible things morbs said, i am reasonably confident that this ban was not deserved

nonetheless i hope morbs will appreciate some black humour occasioned by his travails before the star chamber

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b2/Stevedallas_bc.jpg

Pretty sure we're in the 'working for free as a badge of professional integrity' decade, Morbs.

didn't know morbs writes for Thought Catalog
