Could you do me a great courtesy and lock this thread?

Ban derj

or just retitle mine to his title

leave titles as is, just threadban Deej from rolling face tat

look if you won't stop liking music wrong what do you expect the poor lad to do?

Face tat!
Street rap!
Scoundrel!
Take that!

I think that the obvious choice would be to lock deej's thread since it has a handful of posts compared to ums's and also since it was made in the spirit of deej being deej. what if you were to somehow combine the thread titles?

2018 Rolling Boring Face Tat Street Rap

Maybe rename "rolling face tat thread 2018" to "RIP Fredo Santana"

the face tats and street raps of lived, earned experience

Monday, February 12, 2018 1:32 PM I Love Music Thread: 2018 Rolling Boring Face Tat Rap for Rap and for Face Tats but Mostly for Rap has been locked.

It wasn't me, but I presume because it seemed like everybody sorta agreed/resigned themselves into going with deejay's thread. Particularly via UMS c&ping the entirety of the original boring rap thread into the face tat one. then someone revived it this morning to talk about the music that was briefly discussed therein rather than carrying it over to the face tat thread.

I thought that your thread was the best solution to the problem and was in fact, very funny.

there's a history of multiple threads for singular topics; really not clear why this seems like someone's best idea.

at the very least, that's where i was planning on posting new rap i discovered and clearly someone else did as well.

I'm not gonna unlock it at the moment. Don't want to step on another mod's toes. Maybe whoever did lock it will show up and shed some light or you could try changing their mind?

In the meantime, what are some examples of multiple threads for singular topics you had in mind? Are you talking in terms of rolling threads specifically or just in general like there's 800 smashing pumpkins threads or whatever?

805 too many

Rolling "Experimental Is A Shitty Descriptor But Whatev" 2017
rolling attention deficit 2017 -> 999999999999 -> 999999999999999999

further, same point i made upthread stands: no one new to the site is going to have any idea that "face tat"= "rap thread"

Was d40 consulted on this

Competition is vital for a healthy marketplace.

Would you consider retitling your thread something else? Something with a strong trademark that contains the word "rap" to suit your business needs but does not contain the words "face tat", to avoid product confusion among the common consumers of rap threads?

Face tat!
Street rap!
Scoundrel!
Take that!

lol

xp, sure: reopen it with the title "2018 Rolling Rap and Hip Hop Thread"

I'm going to regret this, aren't I?

don't see why! Everybody's following the rules.

It was me that locked it, I thought it was another of the five or six dumb threads started to make a point.

Honestly I think having a second rap thread just for the sake of having 'rap' in the title is pretty dumb as well but if it's healthy competition you're after then I hope you're prepared for the free market to have its say.

you should probably let the young whippersnapper that started this thread know that we're locking dumb threads started to make a point:

Plastic wedging material Yer listening to the streets Lock down your aerial Make yerself at home rolling rap 2018

Why do people leave ILX for good? really needs to be locked

cosign

Thrice. Flip it and sell it

That thread needs closure.

we have it nearly sorted ye cowardly dryballs

*you* do

will we never get it sorted?

;_;

it's a good thread that is temporarily being abused. let it pass.

it's not the thread itself that's the problem

feel attacked rn from all sides tbh

christ is this what its like to be lj how does he survive it

I’m sorry — it’s not my intention to “abuse it,” whatever that means (sorry if that seems to make the apology count less I just don’t know what I’m doing wrong)

you are not abusing it; it simply needs to be left alone for a day or two

heh something something high school doctor something

A good thread going thru tuff times is like a strong stomach passing gas

and u are the flatus

lol
it seems fine now

Wil no-one rid me of this turbulent thread?

A flatus evacuates big fella

I don’t

came here to co-sign mookie

I get anxious just reading it and it’s the type of broken interaction model that almost killed me a decade ago. Just not healthy for anyone.

You can’t just lock a thread when it’s become toxic. Like playing god

I wish we could get a licensed therapist on retainer to help referee in cases like what's been happening in that thread.

haven't you seen Some Kind of Monster

I’m no libertarian, but I am very much against activist modding and having mental health specialists on standby.

The over the top love for The 1975, especially on ilm, I consider a long game con. It makes no sense otherwise.

God, they are such crap.

I was shocked when I skimmed over that thread.

They aren't on my radar at all, so I relistened to some stuff to make sure and then I did research to make sure this wasn't like a longform reddit type of joke.

I avoid ilm threads just so I don’t have to hear about bands like that! what are you all doing

I only looked because it was the cause of some angst and I did the Arrested Development "...her?!?" when I realized it was about that band.

flopson otm, I regret this thread already

Twitter S/D

plz lock if possible

ok
