moderation request: democratic bans

*takes notes*

^ un-necessary douchery but no matter

I think the premise of this thread would work better backwards. I like the idea of democratic unbanning, if the mods make an unpopular or controversial decision to ban someone and people want to vote to overturn it.

"It is easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission"

i like it

yes to democratic unbanning.

heave ho, ballot stuffer

yes on dem unban

i don't suppose we could democratically vote ask chaki back in?

AC clearly rendered obsolete by the ongoing vibrant discussion on The Church

I gotta say, the making of The Church was easily the most short-sighted move in recent ILX history; when even idiots like me foretell desolation, you know it's a false step.

ASK A RABBI WAS FUCKING GREAT

The church is "reverent," that's why it is so quiet.

i would like to point out that i was otm about the church

plz plz plz plz plz plz

being fair, everyone was otm about the church, but it went ahead and happened anyway.

yeah guys as long as there's a tombot there'll never be a chaki

no dude they complete each other, yin and yang... without chaki, tombot wouldnt be tombot

that's the dumbest shit you've ever said

ooh hellacious burn t-man

it is a little harsh, considering

double zinged by the tomster

c/d: people responding to good zings by nonchalantly acknowledging them

d

except when I do it

my point still holds, tom is batman and chaki is the joker

does that mean us ladies can start lining up to be eye candy? I'll be Poison Ivy.

erm can one poster suggest ban another poster more than once

*worried*

p.s. 40 of you can go suck eggs

p.p.s. one last push amirite

no they cannot xpost

you knobend

"yo, UK, no bend :("

i understand bro

What were you getting suggest banned for LJ? The Mansun thread?

I had nothing to do with it this time, btw.

Absolutely no idea. Steady accumulation due to rants/jibes being taken too seriously, I'd assume. The (obviously deliberately OTT) Liverpool thread probably grabbed me about 5-10 more humourless SB's. Oh, and I suspected you hadn't SB'd me; you're not passive-aggressive about your objections, which is a good thing.

This is a rather fascinating study in watching someone who doesn't know when to stop learn the hard way.

Conversely, a fascinating study in anonymous victimisation of soft targets.

The fact that you think the Lpool thread would net more SBs than your regular daily conduct is o_O.

What have you learnt from this episode?

(Laurel otm and kinda my point with my question. You _never_ learn the lesson.)

Okay as someone contributing to this, I suggest we stop this conversation as it is a) becoming a personal attack, and b) likely to goad the people participating in it into acting like knobs.

ok

Hang on, I'm getting all this from Laurel/JJ etc about my "regular daily conduct", which confuses me, as I've actually made it my business on ILX to sincerely participate and attempt to improve relations rather than troll and irritate. If the latter seems to be happening, then there's some serious communication breakdown. Generally when I have a pop, I'm doing so with tongue firmly in cheek. What I've learnt is that ILX still thoroughly befuddles me. Can someone spell this lesson out?

Dan I am so glad you posted that, you just saved me opening a can.

LJ I am gonna e-mail you.

this fuckin guy

lou jag i'm gonna give you this one for free

you know how i say stupid shit on ilx and generally act like a dick like 80% of the time and still don't catch half the shit you do?

one of the reasons for that is if i get hardsonned i dont make 50 posts about myself and my "posting style" and how i just dont geeeeeet why everybody doesnt love me

pro-tip^

but ethan this is the first time i've done that in ages

point taken

valerie plame has 49 suggest bans shhhhh

Bumping for relevant history

Not to pick on LJ, mind.
