There should be consistency. If we are allowed to lash out at each other, we should also be allowed to lash out at mods. They don’t deserve special treatment just because they chose to take on extra responsibility.

why not?

hows life also preemptively banned jord and max then had to roll it back when everyone disagreed lol might not be cut out for the mod life

I always thought we were joking when we lashed out at the mods

thought it was a goof

ah v good wins. if i could have my time over

no reason to limit ourselves to this sort of binary thinking

lmao

i always thought there was a firewall between the mods and any actual decisions that happen on the website.

I can't defend the substance of his insult but I'm willing to die for the right to insult mods

Oh good iatee is here

ppl should not have free license to be disrespectful to mods but they also should not have free license to be disrespectful to other posters in general! i'm just not sure how, given the level of discourse around here, "chickenshit idiots" is taken as some kind of unspeakable insult.

yeah srsly thats a weak ass insult for ilx and yet deej was banned because it was directed as some boohoo baby ass mod smh what herb

ppl should not have free license to be disrespectful to mods but they also should not have free license to be disrespectful to other posters in general!

disagree strongly

^^^

we could ban everyone who successfully executes an 8th-grade or higher-level diss on another poster maybe

lol

i find the jokey wordy thread titles of all the ppl on here w terrible senses of humor extremely insulting tbh plz ban them ty

Name names

Markers: I'm more likely to want to ban lashing out at one another (fuck, some sites literally do this!) than I am to agree that mods (who do the site and me a solid) don't deserve a bit of courtesy and the benefit of the doubt when modding.

I mean I'm not asking they get the awful fawning adulation that eg the metafilter mods get, but an out-the-gate combative stance adopted for anything beyond a title fix — on what is really a pretty lightly modded site! — has to go.

Sod one xposts bug am posting blind

Oh good iatee is here

I would insult you back jj but I can't without fearing for my safety

i pulled that exact zing on aimless the other night, either i should be banned or i'm perfect mod material i'm not even sure

cards on table I'm playing long game to get in as sitewide mod and permaban everyone on my shitlist in the first and last ten minutes of my reign

The current crop of mods don’t seem to deserve “the benefit of the doubt,” tbh. They’ve done one super hasty thing and now this questionable shit just in the past few days!

calling ppl - mods or not - names on the internet is glorious its not cool for this site to become the sort of wienerland where calling someone a chickenshit idiot gets a tempban like were some reddit-reading pissbabies

anyways have 2 peace got a hot production meeting waiting for me in another conference room

FFS guys.

loving all the drama on ilx these days guys, keep up the good work

i support the banning if it was done to provoke drama

i do support banning posters if it's for ratings or as a cliffhanger like when [redacted] was killed in game of thrones last month.

There is no rule about being nice to people on ILX that I am aware of. People have always been rude to each other here, and people have always been nice to each other here. If you want to put that rule in place, I think that’s a whole other debate, but it seems pretty clear to me from how things have gone for the past many years I’ve been here is that most things are tolerated between posters short of shit that is obviously beyond the pale. Calling someone a “chickenshit idiot” or whatever is totally not beyond the pale in the context of many other things that have been said here and allowed to stand w/o someone getting hit with a ban.

FFS guys.

cosign

admittedly there has been more excitement during the last week than the last 51 weeks combined, even if it's of the ffs variety (not the band)
