Ideas for ILX

Poor planning on their part

serve em right tho

False flag post.

ffp-ed

sub board for Irish posters and events and topics of an hibernian nature, min. 50% by blood to mod, but such mod rights to be absolute and automatic on that basis

They could be called...

Ireland’s Own

😎😎😎

no

Who is included by the 50% minimum?

I dunno, i threw it out there as an ideal and without concern as to how it would affect the governance and running of things thereafter

if we could fall out over it that would be wonderful, we'd already have our treaty origin story set

Dev v Collins was the original mod drama

pearse and the lads were the paperthinwalls era

Everybody is required to post as The Amazing Randy.

Identities must be guessed by posting style.

In the interests of constantly improving our democracy (& not lagging behind the labour party) I wld like to make the case for polls with preferential votes (i.e. you can number your choices). However much work wld be involved you know it wld be a storming success.

imagine the excitement of the stats loving silent majority of ilx when they;re able to see multiple rounds of voting w/ options gradually getting eliminated

Separation of embed options so I can keep images on but switch off YouTubes

thread-specific killfile

would settle for built in, nonuserscript killfile on web

stet can you like. make a bug bounty program where we crowdfund specific feature improvements

> thread-specific killfile

this is already possible. the includes at the top of the file list the urls that this script applies to. replace the wildcards with something more specific (boardid and threadid)

ah, cool!

An "I Love COVID-19" board

stigmatize necroposting: it confuses newcomers and makes them think ilx is "old" and "inactive" and "irrelevant"

archive all threads that haven't been posted in for over 6 months

repeatedly bumping old threads with posts that add nothing to the conversation ("cool", "haha", "amazing") = yellowcard

bumping old threads to revive past disputes and/or poke fun at other posters = tempban/permaban

let the mods 👮 be the judge of what is or is not a "great revive"

unban Frederik B

nothing i hate more than forums that fetishise "make a new thread!!!". Great, you have 1000000 threads with six posts in them asking the same question, nice one.

actually this is a lie, I hate a load of things more. wtf

off-topic "tangents" will be deleted or split off into their own thread ajkdrbgjkvbqerhjhjmavnej

unregistered these ideas are seditious

agreed, time for someone to spend time in the reneducation camp

unregistered must build the 10th level of hell

i haven't heard of "necroposting" until now, though, that's kind of a fun term.

it's a practice that on essentially every other messageboard you'd get instantly flamed for

(for no good reason really)

i always thought the quality of the necrothreads was one thing that set ILX apart. i do see it as a resource for the future, or an archive

Nothing weirder to me than forums where people lose their shit over conversations drifting from thread topic

Like there are def messageboards out there where that would be grounds for moderation. Someone saying something a bit off topic

yeah I love ilx's stance on bumping old threads, the fact that we have people engaging in threads that last decades is great. I don't think we have a great ui for dealing with really long threads, but that's a separate issue.

Can i just...

No

let the mods 👮 be the judge of what is or is not a "great revive"

I have no idea why people would think something is inactive when it's site _new answers_ and not site _new threads_

why are we listening to this guy when he's not even a registered user

_let the mods 👮 be the judge of what is or is not a "great revive"_


hard pass

I'd support bg's reign of terror

first order of business: ban mh

chaotic evil

jeez thats a motley list of nonsense

With long threads as well as 'Skipping xxxx messages at this point... Click here if you want to load them all, 'can we have a 'view previous 100 messages' as otherwise alternative is to load the full thread?

I would accept the ban as a show of good faith

Would love a 'view previous 100 messages' tho
