FP: Should 31 be the new 51 y/n

ban deej

four times

D-40, the only reason you got an FP from me recently (I can't recall if I ever did it in the distant past) was that you direct invited me to:

Lol flag post me then u wuss

Seems like if anyone is "openly plotting" to get you banned, it is you.

im confidently pointing out that just bc you in particular, or even four ilxors in particular, are very mad at me for not deferring to your wisdom, that degree of anger doesnt really translate outside the clusterfuck

mad at you? you overestimate your importance in my life.

mad enough to FP?

or fantasize abt me being banned itt

Hey guys, have you seen these flowers growing outside? They're just beautiful, and that heady bouquet...you really need to go check this out for yourself. Take your time with it, enjoy the experience. Go on and treat yourself.

mad enough to FP?

I figure when you specifically asked me to do something that only takes two clicks and five seconds to accomplish, it would be wrong to deny such a small favor. Really, I can't see why you think that repeatedly hitting yourself is such a smart move, but you seem hell bent on it.

I mean, I took a few minutes away from my 5 month break to post about deej being ridic and delusional and give him a few fp's for good measure. It's like getting one of those "I Voted!" stickers

ayyyyyyyy

the reason theres a 51 vote bar is bc your personal issues w me are ultimately irrelevant, is the pt

how many posters is it that have unrelated personal issues w/ deej's posting style now

"cunt" is also not a cool hip putdown. altho i'm told that for britishers it is *not* a sexist slur?

FP'd you for racism btw

she's your queen too pal

how many posters is it that have unrelated personal issues w/ deej's posting style now

and how much is 'my posting style' the issue vs 'my ideological pov'

I'd be fine with it if the old cunt's proxy would sack our government again

xpost

hasn't sacked ours yet and I literally can't imagine how yours is any worse

Excuse me, calling a woman a c*nt is just not on.

Bloody colonials.

Your people use 'cunt' where a civilized gentleman such as yours truly might utter 'jolly good morning' though

and how much is 'my posting style' the issue vs 'my ideological pov'

ask them i guess

insofar as defensiveness is an ideology they're indistinguishable

hasn't sacked ours yet and I literally can't imagine how yours is any worse

well, last time it was because we had just abolished conscription, withdrawn from Vietnam, made university free, abolished the death penalty, released Papua New Guinea to be an independent country under the UN, brought in universal health care, instituted laws against racial discrimination, returned land rights to native people, set up arts grants and community radio licences, lowered the voting age to 18, allowed our third largest state-equivalent to elect senators, federally funded the connecting of homes to sewers, cut international tariffs, funded state schools, allowed single mothers to receive welfare for the first time, and brought in both equal pay and a minimum wage for women.

so I guess you guys still have a way to sink before Betty needs to step in again, yeah

Good to see sarahell

I like deej, Katherine and turrican - in fighting is sad but what can you do

would sack our government again

be careful what you wish for, folks

bring it down to one and the last person left can just agree with themselves all day long

seriously tho

stet is usually kind enough to provide figures showing that activity isnt rly down as much as we might perceive iirc

If we were to attempt this poll again today, would there even be a turnout of 31?

I have a dream.

Here's a thing about FPs that y'all may not realize: your most recent FP doesn't take the place of an older FP you gave to the same poster. Let's say you flagged Poster Z six months ago and again last week; the details page only shows the older one from you, and when a moderator clears out FPs that are six months old or older, your flag against that poster disappears even though you flagged them again just last week.

So if you're serious about using FP as a tool for policing ILXor behavior, it behooves you to flag every post you object to. For instance, I just looked at one particular poster's FP details and cleaned out their older FPs, dropping them from 26 to 13. If any of those 13 flaggers whose FPs got cleared out flagged that same poster AGAIN in the past six months, there's no record of it.

Maybe stet can tweak the code so that the most recent FP from a poster overwrites an older one, I don't know.

It seems like you are effectively saying that one should flag the poster, not the post.

I feel like something is off in your syntax there

it behooves you to flag every post you object to.

how does this square with "removing old FPs clears new ones as well"?

So sorry WmC but I object to that post, it simply had to be done

how does this square with "removing old FPs clears new ones as well"?

my understanding is that the old FP never gets overwritten by the new one. if you flag a post and an old one still exists, no FP will be added. if you flag a post after the old one has been cleared out, a new FP will be added.

I don't know what I'm saying, except that a poster can only flag one post by another poster at a time, and only the oldest one registers, and when old ones get cleared out, any newer ones that may have existed get cleared out as well. I have muddied the water, ugh.

xp -- yes, crüt has it

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!
