FP: Should 31 be the new 51 y/n

I think it's just one example that caused this post

and that individual has now been banned, for hitting 51

Good Gulags are needed in these difficult times, the type that Solzhenitsyn + Shalamov would approve of imo.

write 51 times i will not be a bad poster

i like the new party atmosphere on the Admin Log

Fuck me, Twitter and FB are click for like type meritocracies, and look at the fucking state of them for goodness sake. And 99% of football forum "content" is enough to drive you to ending it for good. I'd say do not change anything ILX.

Not really. A bit though yeah, def.

Lots of people otm here, some a bit too eager even to my own liking but that comes with the territory.

Feels like the ilx massive wants to exclude a person or two for quite some time. And it's not happening. Fine by me, but the system seems flawed for 2017 realness. Which is why I asked 31 for 51.

Shoulder to the wheel etc

i think we need more posters

is advertising in the budget?

21 imo

1

11

Don't Cry vs November Rain has new answers

so that was not a useful lead for finding out who you want iced

Guys. I was going to wait but

I found the perfect venue for this year's ILX reunion

http://www.311cruise.com/

So wait... we're complaining because there are less dickheads needing/getting flagged/banhammered because theres less of us now, and this is a problem why exactly?

I think that brings up a good point - we might dislike certain posters more than we ever would have in, say, peak noize dude era, because there are less of us, and so the, uh, noize floor is more noticeable

39, because I just rewatched the 39 Steps

i support bernard snowy's proposal, seems sound.

if it's true that there are fewer of us, that makes us more vulnerable to assholes hanging around forever, never to reach 51 but able to really derail every thread at their whim. i always thought 51 was kind of shockingly high but i guess people used to do a lot more lol-SBing and you had to compensate for that.

btw at first glance I assumed this was a thread about flagging anyone who posted some lifestyle article about how age 31 is "the new 51"

would support that flag policy btw

why are we proposing a solution to a problem we do not have, is the question

^^^^^

There aren't any fp's. Try to keep up.

I just flag the really bad posts with each of my 27 sock accounts

I suspect this poll was prompted by a particular poster who may have been 51'ed under a different username, but came back and is still a frequent irritant. My sense is that if any poster rises to the level of unacceptability requiring ejection, ILX will muster the necessary 51 FPs.

I personally doubt that there have been many posters who accumulated more than 31 active FPs who did not also pass the 51 threshold soon afterwards, but that is merely a guess on my part. Picking the 'right' number is not a science, but a fairly inexact heuristic. I'm fine with any number, as long as it is high enough that it cannot be driven by relatively small cabal. 51 has been adequately functional so far, imo.

I also note that 51 has deeply entered ILX lore. Changing it would render that lore illegible.

52

the 51'd should be redirected to a false ilx full of bots

ERROR #36536424 SARCASTIC RESPONSE NOT FOUND

stet would probably add a tell to be sure that he himself never got trapped in fake ilx. something subtle but absurd. like mordy bot always posting about jenga in the boardgame thread.

you can't just rename Area 51

BTW, the admin log is now flashing pink.

you say this like it's a bad thing

Thing is, on the rare occasions that a particularly obnoxious or abusive/racist/homophobic new poster appears, they tend to attract 10-20 FPs almost immediately which alerts us to them. Most of the time it's so obvious that we just ban them straight away, in the same way we would if we came across those posts by reading a thread normally.

As far as it goes for ILX regulars, the high threshold is kind of the point. You need to piss off a lot of people to get to that point. A lower threshold would be more open to abuse and as Kevin K says it's a solution to a problem we don't really have right now.

manufactured pop 'music' sucks, where's the fuckin rock

Capitalism is nuff fab.

donald trump is just a guy doing his best

pizza is best left to the British

ok, this started as a flaggable posts riff, but seriously, wouldn't the true ilx equivalent of likes/+1s be a tick.jpg link and an invisible tally of clicks until a post hits 51 and is then auto added to an aggregated excelsior page.

You can like an unfunny post tbf

I only FP for dumb revives. Revive with caution my Gs.

I'll take the risk

The football forum I post to has an interesting system that isn't without its flaws. There's a Like button AND a LOL button, as well as a FP button. Three buttons for every post! The biggest difficulty comes with LOLs, which are handed out both for genuinely humorous content and embarrassing nonsense. I've thought maybe a fourth button - LOL @ - to differentiate from 'LOL with' - and perhaps a fifth, a sort of 'super like', which you can dole out thrice per week to distinguish full hero-worship from the posts you vaguely concur with. A sixth button would be a 'dislike' - not as strong as a flag but nonetheless admonitory in nature. Other buttons for gratitude, shock or incomprehension suggest themselves. It really is limitless when you think about it

a good system would be one where -- right below where someone posts -- there's a space where you can put a follow-up comment, perhaps of approval or derision, perhaps a further joke, perhaps suggesting the thread steer more towards your own interests

that is sedition and you belong in a facility

hmm I would def prefer it if the 6-month clock reset with each new FP

I agree. Honestly, it hadn't occurred to me to ask stet about this until today, duhhhh

easy remedied by flagging the poster at every conceivable reconfirmation of the behaviour that required banning

guys it’s rude to just talk about fred like this without him here

I am everywhere, so it's ok

lol

We could also make 1 the new 51, at least for a while? It'll be fun!

Wonder how many silby picked up.

i kind of want to FP silby for the lolz but i absolutely don't want him banned, can we institute a button for that pls

yeah its the fp button

for as long as the number is 51 and not 11

xp - FP-ed you for that
