FP: Should 31 be the new 51 y/n

all I can say to that is this kind of personal taste completely baffles me and I'm completely incapable of understanding the worldview of someone who wants that

anyways

fp

it works for what its meant to do

but i dont know if mods would ever have locked that thread today at amy stage of ilx

and if they had done, it would have caused ructions

funny that we flag drunk posts for moderation

xxp

im not here to defend it tbh

and park in the driveway

there's also a complicated relationship between civility and quality of posts. it's *possible* that if nobody is allowed to call anybody else a numbskull then the numbskull population might run out of control

(given that we all have numbskullery within us)

To prevent numbskullery you just need to educate and lead by example and lead a blameless life like I do

i think Jesus is a historical example of how that attitude just attracts numbskulls tbh

whereas a lot of Zen masters seem to have inculcated wisdom in their apprentices by judicious application of a big stick

jesus crucified atop golgotha or numbskull mountain

"forgive them Father, for they are numbskulls"

anyway

mods

51 is too high we used to have 40 good posters now we have 4 the new number should therefore be 5

Lol

That would be a bloodbath

the bark would fly

but not in the organized, purposeful way that your name implies

Wonder how many people are on 5 or more at any given time

I think i have historically had at least five whenever i checked in

you probably know where that ended up. good to have you back.

I wasn’t banned

I self-banned for the second time after making quite the scene

i know. was talking about copying your post to the out of context thread.

Ah

I suspect I am at least halfway to 51 by this point

I doubt you’re at 10

I suspect most people reserve fps for extremely offensive posts, don't recall anyone getting banned for a bit of bickering

xp yeah you have to actively try pretty hard to get close to 30 iirc

I mean I definitely didn’t until now, I’ve flagged a lot of posts under the impression I was just flagging a post for review and potential deletion, not voting for a ban. it’s what the button says, after all

Some people are promiscuous with them but getting to 51 is still a feat

tbf 26 is not at 10. but I doubt katherine has any fps.

don't know Trϵϵship's history but really like their posts. katherine's too. so please don't stop posting, either of you

I'm not promiscuous I'm generous

Any??

Xp

The particular clusterfuck we've been discussing today isn't close to being the ugliest argument in the past week.

She definitely has a few like all decent posters do

I doubt you’re at 10

otm

this is completely bizarre to me, like going to the doctor and being told "you sprained your wrist but we're not going to do anything about it, come back when you have heart failure or something"

mods used to be way more obvious, but a) ILX is less rambunctious now and b) it was realised about ten years ago that modding quietly caused fewer shitstorms re: modding

out-and-out trolls do get removed by mod action

a bunch of FPs on one post will also raise mod attention & discussion, it's not a fully automated SB system

if ppl want a post edited or deleted, MRF is still there and used regularly, and has been for about 16 years

as deems keeps saying, this has been litigated in literally thousands of posts over the last decade

xp you fp'd katherine, is how i'm reading this situation

id be suprised if anyone currently posting had more than 40 and tbh anyone near that is deej, fred and meself maybe

probly lj too obv

sic otm is a meme by now but sic otm

nu-LJ for sure isn close to 40

We should make a pool though

theres twenty posters minimum dont post anymore but have 6 month reminders to log in and fp lj i dont agree with it but its true

What a spectacular career it’s been for l0u15

he's perhaps the one exception to *actively* annoying tbfttl. sometimes.

ilx always refers to the early work innit

tbfttl google search only brings up porn sites

wouldn't be happy at all if lj stopped posting

LJ runs a network of tbfttl porn sites. I don’t agree with it but it’s true

lol
