I don't really know how sub-board moderation works so I don't know if I can make it happen for you, sarahell, but tbh I have no objections.
I'm totally ok if other mods decide to shorten the ban.
I posted in the Admin Log Watch thread but I'll post here too - I've checked out the context, and while I honestly couldn't tell if it was poorly-rendered gallows humour or a seriously aggressive post (it was a bad post either way), I'm in favour of this not being a permaban. Unless they're an old user in a new name, they don't have much history here and most of their posts are perfectly innocuous, so a temp ban seems preferable.

Went and read the offensive post, and really, you all. It definitely lived up to their username.

the Boring part. perhaps not so much the Maryland part.
Kinda feel like opting for flippancy re: suicide at a time when emotional/mental well-being is at a general low ebb is playing with fire, whatever your intent. WmC made the right call.

kinda feel like opting for the use of the colloquialism "playing with fire" while there are literally huge fires raging through parts of the US and the air quality is garbage because of the smoke is also insensitive ...

basically I am in favor of being sensitive and empathetic to the variety of issues affecting other ilxors, but ILX should not have a zero-tolerance policy for gallows humor

Nor do I, nor does it.

(Incoherent; trying again)I agree, but it's kind of a moot point inasmuch as a zero-tolerance policy for gallows humor isn't a thing.

yeab but it's pretty easy to see how this place could go that way

short posting history warrants 3-day temp ban, end of story imo. private yellow card would be good for a regular?
on the other thread stet mentioned changing the admin log so it no longer says "permanently" for all bans, I think this is a good idea.
random thought: can't mods now edit objectionable posts to make the text hidden?

xpost No. No, it really isn't.

i've luckily never struggled with depression, but i have many friends and family members who have. ilx has documented at least one suicide attempt and plenty of suicidal ideation. there is a way to do gallows humor without crossing a line which should be pretty obvious to most intelligent people.

if you flag post on one thread and then flag the same poster for another post on a different thread, does that count as two flags or just one?
― superdeep borehole (harbl), Sunday, 31 January 2021 19:26 (three years ago) link
it's just one flag per poster for each flaggable poster

I know it only counts once but there's a therapeutic benefit in going again.

not the money thread. not a "Big" Deal thOugh. eNough others will flag, i'm sure.
