Why isn’t that user banned, was it not a known troll account already? We don’t have to wait for FPs for those I thought?
― giant bat fucker (gyac), Friday, 10 March 2023 17:10 (one year ago) link
He only posts every two weeks or so so people forget about him I think

But yeah could we bounce him plz
Interesting case. Obviously trying to be provocative/trollish but not doing a very good job of it. Outside the top 10 in Most Flagged Posters, and today's offense only roused five people to smash that FP button. Sure, I'll ban him. But the banworthiness goalpost has definitely moved, and imo it's appropriate that unilateral mod action remain a lagging, not leading, indicator. The ILX community as a whole has two tools to make their opinions known, and seems for the most part to have put one of them away.

I’m all for zero tolerance when it comes to this stuff

his language was provocative, but the song in question is incredibly fucked up and misogynistic.

Agree with WmC here. Yes, worth a ban, but I'm uncomfortable with moving back toward us being the decision-makers without FP support. We have reduced the numbers for a temp-ban, so please smash that button if you think something is ban-worthy! (Also like & subscribe)

(When I say we've reduced the numbers, I mean ages ago when we hashed out a bunch of shit, not recently without telling anyone)
― emil.y, Friday, 10 March 2023 18:47 (one year ago) link
yes I think that’s totally reasonable and if the community acts responsibly then the FPs should be taking care of this stuff. I’m just having trouble squaring it with the idea of someone totally not FPing obviously toxic posts because of whatever reason. To me if we’re emphasizing the FP system, then there really is a responsibility for users to FP when it’s necessary to protect the community and avoid the situation where posters who can’t help themselves feed the troll. So when mods step in it kinda absolves the community as a whole from taking care of business. I don’t know,I’m sure that all sounds insane and pompous

maybe the issue is if someone is trolling/making toxic posts in threads very few posters see?
― sarahell, Friday, 10 March 2023 19:07 (one year ago) link
90% of my posts in here are from the "flagging" app, which has no "flag post" option, otherwise I would have flagged him too.

but that's what they said about nabisco. zero value. nothing was on the mark. it was a total disaster. but post by post, it all started to make sense

Yeah I haven’t seen this guy’s posts much but they seem all to be like that? I guess the argument I would have is, why keep him?
― giant bat fucker (gyac), Friday, 10 March 2023 19:41 (one year ago) link
Also, I use zing 99% of the time and the fp function iirc isn’t picked up on that
hi i'm bad at emotional intelligence and understanding context, so i thought the "stop" and "FPed" were directed at me. again: wasn't trying to "start anything" and certainly wasn't trying to get anyone kicked out.
(thought i might have upset someone a while back when i mentioned the problematic nature of the song but still had praise for it)
thanks for listening.

All this could have been avoided if the user in question had called "Ain't No Fun" definitely the worst paean etc. etc.

Austin, you were fine, honestly.
CAAL & Gyac - I didn't know that about the apps, sorry. I don't know much about the techy side of the site at all. It worries me that I'm one of the last mods standing when I only really signed up to help people change thread titles and edit posts. I don't know how any of this shit works!
― emil.y, Friday, 10 March 2023 20:27 (one year ago) link
i support getting emil.y and mods support! i wish that i could step up to it and help myself but i don't think that would be a good idea. but it might be time for some new mods and there are lots of good options

Yeah I believe so.Emily, not your fault, but maybe we should have more for these kinds of purposes?

I test-FP'd a post from Zing on my phone and it worked ok, but same as emil.y I don't know much about the tech side, so I don't know if gyac is having a buggy experience or how to fix it.
― The Terroir of Tiny Town (WmC), Friday, 10 March 2023 20:46 (one year ago) link
I swear this came up before but can’t find any evidence of this claim so maybe it was fixed?! Maybe this was years ago?

why is this not working
THIS post I'm sure!!! Every huge artist has their "New Jersey" - a huge event album that ultimately feels a bit hollow & signals a career decline
