quick question about bannings

the post is nightmarish, but you have fashioned it into a passive-aggressive tool for bullshit.

start a thread asking for that post to be removed. start a thread saying 'this post is awful'. start a thread called 'ban amateurist'. instead you used it to attack the process.

not that the process is inviolable, but your priorities are fucked up

well i was a bit pissed that it had been 5 hours and nothing had been done about something that was incredibly gross & plainly bannable

anyway john's explanation is valid & amateurist is banned now so it's all water under the bridge as far as i'm concerned

sadly luna does not exist in the database, so no symbolic banning, sorry yall

xposts

alright whatever

i was appalled at that post amateurist made to morbs, i think that was clear. i flagged the post, which iirc i've never done before. a thread was started criticizing mod inaction on the subject and i (truly) agreed with its literal implications but also didn't mind its longer-running anti-mod roots. i admit the latter was childish, though i don't think it reflects at all on my position wrt the situation itself. i regret the implication i 100% brought on myself and somewhat resent what mooks and wmc said regarding this

just to be clear dude, so i can drop this, did you seriously wanna harangue me about being demonstrably slow when i already said i was at my brother in laws grooms dinner, or did i misread that

because resent w/e you want, but that is stone cold bullshit

are you talking to me?

New beef thread, plz.

no j0rd im talking to k3v

oh alright *tags kevin, leaps ropes*

that was made jokingly wrt your lack of "xpost" on your zing of me, all is good

xxxxp!!!

alright man. like i said, its been a long week in mod years.

If ILX was a literal, physical room full of people with guns, we would all have been shot this week. Er'rybody just eeeeeease off those oversensitive hair triggers.

Old Lunch

if ilx were a literal, physical room full of people with guns, bill magill would have knocked down the wall like hey koolaid

hey asshole koolaid man said oh yeah not hey koolaid that's it we're officially beefing now

(I don't know if it's even safe to joke beef anymore...)

kev how many times have you had to backtrack and apologise to mods after unfairly criticising them? I'm guessing it's running into dozens now. You should maybe take that into account before adopting the usual injured innocence imo.

ps give me the privileges, i guarantee you won't have to wait five hours for some tasty ban action.

can't spell ban action without bacon

d'you think thirty bans in the first ten mins would sate the bloodlust? i reckon thirty'd do it

5 hours on a FRIDAY NIGHT is slow? Man, y'all must want all the mods to be online all the time and not have social lives idk.

I've said on many occasions to many people that we, as a species, are still several decades off the emotional, spiritual, cultural and social evolutionary steps necessary for us to really comprehend and communicate via and use the full potential of the Internet. If I were to ever write a thesis on this idea, ILX would totally be my primary case-study. Bronies would be my secondary. Those awful 15-year-old boys on twitter who make rape jokes and post picture of their abs would be my tertiary.

sounds interesting

Not really, though.

Would it be the defining work on the subject?

well i was a bit pissed that it had been 5 hours and nothing had been done about something that was incredibly gross & plainly bannable

can we assume J0rd has spent a) more or b) less than 5 hours putting together a list of every time Morbz has called for another poster's death or multiple posters' deaths, so that the mods can add up all of those and give him three days for every instance?

one poster wished death on a sick poster and 5 hours later was still posting, y'all were slacking. sorry.

It was on a politics thread. Who the fuck would even notice?

aha sure, sic

think all u fuckers are on a mission until forks is the only mod left

forks has been hardmodding it too, lately.

lay off the mods imo

http://www.impawards.com/1969/posters/battle_of_the_mods.jpg

given that the poster this was directed towards asked everyone to drop it, I'm not sure a tempban is going to happen regardless

yeah, i'm fine with dropping that asshole off a fucking cliff though.

the mods are alright

i'll just preface this by saying that i don't mind being called out like this, i'm a reasonable guy and can take it like i dish it

but for the record the only time i can recall ever having to retract my mod criticism was on that "why was morbs banned" thread a couple of months ago. i didn't have all the facts (because posts were deleted) so i acted on bad infos. i apologized to dan yesterday for driving him up a wall for a couple years because i regretted that circumstance made an ilx enemy out of someone i otherwise think is cool. because he WAS an awful mod. but honestly i think there's been one, maybe two visible mods since I started posting here that aren't pretty bad at modding. i don't personally dislike any of the mods we feud with; the problem is ~mod culture~, not the mods themselves. last night i regretted people thinking i was using the incident yesterday just to needle the mods, because i saw how a reasonable person could have made that conclusion. but i didn't retract anything i said. and our only decent mod ended up making the right decision, so all is good

tldr - i resent d-mac's implication that i agree with mods more lately :)

In all sincerity k3v, fuck off.

haha k w/evs

k3vin k. w/evs

oh i'm sure you'd make a great mod k3v

forks is a good mod too imo, not sure who the other ones are aside from jjjusten but i think they're doing a pretty fine job these days

Mods why didn't u "minority report" Luna back in '02, really dropped the ball there IMO.

the ball wasn't red

Frankly, I don't think any of the mods do enough to justify the amount of money they get paiOH WATE

They must do it for the unparalleled pleasure of it.

This strikes me as such an obviously bannable offence that the very question is a no-brainer. If people are going to pull shit like this on a Friday night you can't really blame ~mod culture~ for the fact that no one was around to see it.

Honestly I can't see any reason for continuing to stir this up.

kw/3vin k

<3 k3v & j0rdan

I like flopson's better. grood jorb.

They must do it for the unparalleled pleasure of it.
