Please remeber to link the FAQs to this new one.

i don't know how unfortunately

Here is the FAQ.

*slightly embarrassed*

how does one type in italics?

― Christopher William Radford (Chris Radford), Friday, 13 June 2003 13:36 (twenty-two years ago)

[i].......[/i] where the square brackets are the pointy brackets all pointy pointy.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 13 June 2003 13:39 (twenty-two years ago)

where the square brackets are the pointy brackets all pointy pointy. = <i>where the square brackets are the pointy brackets all pointy pointy.</i>

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 13 June 2003 13:41 (twenty-two years ago)

FAQ updated: it refers technical questions to Graham for the moment, until someone else steps up.

HTML questions shd probably not go on the shouting for the moderator thread seeing as even 12 millimeter lizards can answer them!

― mark s (mark s), Friday, 13 June 2003 13:44 (twenty-two years ago)

cheers dan and pete!

apologies mark

Hey, Jess is messing with my posts on the Truckers with Indie Hats thread. I'm perfectly happy to spar with Jess -- hell, he's so offensive you can't help it -- but not if he can actually go into the HTML to make himself look less foolish after the event, and then mess around with my HTML when I point out that this makes my subsequent posts senseless (eg this, which he may even have changed back by now, who knows):

'(I see Jess has used his ~~moderator privileges~~godlike powers to make himself look less ~~foolish~~super duper by going in after the fact to ~~correct his 'famers manual' spelling blunder.~~piss me off. It makes my subsequent entry look a little odd, but I shouldn't think Jess really minds that.)

Momus'

This is a clear abuse of moderator powers.

― Momus (Momus), Friday, 13 June 2003 16:28 (twenty-two years ago)

mark s sez he doesn't want to deal with me so he told me to turn myself over to the proper authorities

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 13 June 2003 16:41 (twenty-two years ago)

(i changed it back, you big baby)

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 13 June 2003 16:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Please don't do it again, Jess, because it's only the possibility of losing which makes the game worth playing, and how can you ever lose if your spider skills allow you to leap from building to building, correct spelling mistakes, etc?

― Momus (Momus), Friday, 13 June 2003 16:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Ask Gwen Stacy and Uncle Ben.

I know that feeling, Spidey.

With each six-pack of Coca-Cola comes great temptation to fuck around with Momus, plus a chance to win $1,000,000

If Jess wins I want him to pledge to donate that money to the Plaster Caster Foundation.

― Momus (Momus), Friday, 13 June 2003 17:23 (twenty-two years ago)

he just got probed by Doc Ock

― H (Heruy), Friday, 13 June 2003 17:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I saw that abuse-of-power by Jess. My position was that it was indeed an unwarranted abuse of his privileges, but since it was Momus I thought it was okay. And it was very funny.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 13 June 2003 17:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Could we keep this thread mostly image free for faster loading please.
It will help us handle things when we get a rash of tubgirl pics being posted.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 13 June 2003 17:35 (twenty-two years ago)

My position was that it was indeed an unwarranted abuse of his privileges, but since it was Momus I thought it was okay.

You need the laughs more than I need the respect, that's for sure Martin.

― Momus (Momus), Friday, 13 June 2003 17:41 (twenty-two years ago)

sorry Noodles!

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 13 June 2003 17:42 (twenty-two years ago)

No, Momus, Martin deserves the laughs more than you deserve the respect.

― NA. (Nick A.), Friday, 13 June 2003 17:56 (twenty-two years ago)

That was unnecessarily nasty, I'm sorry. I regretted posting it as soon as I hit the button. Please ignore.

― NA. (Nick A.), Friday, 13 June 2003 17:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Carry on, Emma. I only blink when someone is being

a) intelligent
b) generous

We should probably stop cluttering up the area around the fire bell in case there's a drill or something.

― Momus (Momus), Friday, 13 June 2003 18:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Ha! I was confused by the Emma comment until I realized that's what my email address says. No, my name is the same as yours, Momus, and my email address is backwards to prevent googlization.

― NA. (Nick A.), Friday, 13 June 2003 18:33 (twenty-two years ago)

could some one please delete the link I posted on HERE. PLEASE!

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 13:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Can the URGENT REQUEST FOR NEW YORKER ILX0RS thread please be re-titled to indicate that the urgency has long passed? Thanks.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Saturday, 21 June 2003 12:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Much obliged if a moderator could delete this thread. I'd be even more grateful if a moderator or someone could delete my current feelings of irritability, loneliness, and sulkiness.

― j.lu (j.lu), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 10:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Cheer up! I dreamt the other day that "j.lu" was somehow code for "Julian Barnes". That will teach me to try cryptic crosswords in bed.

― Sam (chirombo), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 10:48 (twenty-two years ago)

i'd rather not delete it j.lu, it doesn't really fall under Appropriate Deletion Conditions

just let it fall into disuse, or else turn it into something else...

(i think yr posts are always sensible and pertinent btw: "threadkiller" sometimes = "why post when j.lu just said it so well?")

(plus i am still feeling guilty that long long LONG ago i teasingly cited you as the poster most responsible for evil on ile, the point of the joke being that it seemed to me obv to EVERYTHING that you were SO NOT THIS!!)

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 11:05 (twenty-two years ago)

plus i am still feeling guilty that long long LONG ago i teasingly cited you as the poster most responsible for evil on ile

1) I don't remember this.

2) I'd actually be flattered if you meant it, because it would mean that I had made some sort of memorable impression on someone.

― j.lu (j.lu), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 22:56 (twenty-two years ago)

you've made a memorable impression on me!

― James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 23:05 (twenty-two years ago)

j.lu roxx u r all not blessed with memorable acronyms

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 23:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Can someone please re-size the pic i posted of james dean on the smoking thread? Ta & sorry! :-)

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 27 June 2003 11:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Pinkpanther, resizing the pic doesn't change how big it is in terms of downloading, just how large it displays, so huge pics take the same time to download even if they are shown at small size. If it's too big we can change it to a link instead, if you like. I'm at work now so everything loads quickly...

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 27 June 2003 12:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh right, leave it then. Oh & pls ignore the fact that I'm an idiot when it comes to techie things.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 27 June 2003 12:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Knowing less than me about computer stuff is not quite tech-idiocy (I'm one of quite a lot here who work with the things).

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 27 June 2003 16:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey, you posted a link to an image. That's more than most. Definately not "idiocy".

― Andrew (enneff), Friday, 27 June 2003 16:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Hullo, I fucked up visibly here Manchester Man has same phone number as God , if a kindly mod could please fix the HTML then I'd be grateful, and make an effort to always say nice things about them at all times

― Matt (Matt), Monday, 30 June 2003 22:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Done, I think.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 00:07 (twenty-two years ago)

You think? God, these moderators are getting worse and worse...

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 00:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Hush, you. ;) I wasn't sure if that was exactly the fix he had in mind, though it certainly made the post look a lot better.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 00:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Exactly right, thank you.

― Matt (Matt), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 14:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Kiss ass.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 16:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Heavens! Someone needs to unbreak an HTML Tag in the "Heavens!..." thread ;-)

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 21:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I've accidentally duplicated a post on the IL* Challenge thread under my own name - if its within the remit for these things any chance you could remove the first one?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 4 July 2003 08:49 (twenty-one years ago)

no no matt its funny.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 4 July 2003 09:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh well, it's done now. Sorry/my pleasure

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 4 July 2003 09:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Hasn't this worthless dillweed sort of progressed beyond being just a mildly annoying imbecile?

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Saturday, 5 July 2003 03:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I think your description of him is generally accurate and fair, and although I agree that that post is not an acceptable way to address someone on ILX, I'm disinclined to delete it until and unless the person being so addressed/harassed asks me to. I have written to faggotry (don't know if it's a real email address, of course) to say that this is not acceptable, but I've no idea if that will get us anywhere.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 5 July 2003 11:49 (twenty-one years ago)

way to be approached by the sophisticated mr diamond. who will correct mr diamonds harsh brutalities? i suspect no-one.

worthless dillweed, sure.

martin, haven't recieved your e-mail yet, but i will check pronto.

being an equal asshole about it will not make me go away any faster, really.

do you really think i cannot come back?

― faggotry (faggotry), Saturday, 5 July 2003 12:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Will someone please delete my drunken indiscretions on this thread?

I don't forsee any problems but then I don't want to ask for them either.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Saturday, 5 July 2003 19:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Have removed your phone number from that thread sam! Wahoo, my first bit of useful moderating!

― jel -- (jel), Saturday, 5 July 2003 19:33 (twenty-one years ago)

thanks jel! :)

― That Girl (thatgirl), Saturday, 5 July 2003 19:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Look, fuck it, I refuse to apologize to you,f.

Of course, I've had my share of regrettable posts to ILx. And these were largely due to being drunk and obnoxious; but, quite frankly, it doesn't get anymore reprehinsible than the way you addressed an ILXor. Di is way fucking cool. Your loutish persona is a fucking joke. You have NO right to address anyone in that manner, fuckwad.

Honestly, I can't believe that other ILX0rs do not have a problem with your moniker. I can only think that people have become sort of lazy about cottining it. Sad.

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Sunday, 6 July 2003 04:08 (twenty-one years ago)

As someone who appreciates a sweltering mass, I think his moniker's hilarious. Relax, man. Let the people to whom the offense was commited do the getting offended.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Sunday, 6 July 2003 04:14 (twenty-one years ago)

haha - Kenan = German people circa 1930s

― James Blount (James Blount), Sunday, 6 July 2003 04:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Ew.

TS: dick jokes vs. concentration camp jokes

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Sunday, 6 July 2003 04:36 (twenty-one years ago)

What the hell is the problem with the name "faggotry" ? It's fantastic.

― Andrew (enneff), Sunday, 6 July 2003 04:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Somewhat off topic here ...

I seem to have missed-out on the transfer of "administrator" from Graham to ____ to ____. When one hits the link to contact the site administrator, the mail still goes to Graham - and while I like Graham and have no problem sending him email, I'd like to have any sort of administrator issue emails sent to the right person, whoever (or whomever?) that might be. So, um, who is in charge these days?

Oh, and so far as screennames are concerned - well, it seems to me that we all have the right to protray ourselves as we choose - and who is anyone else to criticize us for those choices? I mean, condem me for my actions, not my name, please.

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Sunday, 6 July 2003 05:29 (twenty-one years ago)

mark s is the man to see probably

― James Blount (James Blount), Sunday, 6 July 2003 05:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Thanks, James. Much appreciated.

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Sunday, 6 July 2003 05:54 (twenty-one years ago)

''Honestly, I can't believe that other ILX0rs do not have a problem with your moniker. I can only think that people have become sort of lazy about cottining it. Sad.''

trolls are to be ignored (can you tell i've been here for a while?) and that's it. faggotry is harmless.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Sunday, 6 July 2003 08:01 (twenty-one years ago)

faggotry is of no consequence. nothing to see here

― gareth (gareth), Sunday, 6 July 2003 08:09 (twenty-one years ago)

gareth tells the truth. i'm just a posting fag of no consequence.

calm down my people. call me a fuck, a fag, a piece of shit, whatever! i'm sorry, i apologize, i typed this incorrectly.. i make no sense... not even capitols (ha, capitals)! ban me! delete my posts! i was so wrong.

i'll try to never post? sheesh...

i really didn't realize that my posts meant so much.

but cheers. even you mr diamond.

― faggotry (faggotry), Sunday, 6 July 2003 21:30 (twenty-one years ago)

My other name got use on this thread. Please delete!

― rosemary (rosemary), Monday, 7 July 2003 03:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Um - will someone please delete my last post on this thread:

Dizzying excess of vulgarity -- C or D?

I cross posted and thought I was on the say something offensive thread, and what I posted would have worked there, but not where it ended-up.

Thanks.

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Monday, 7 July 2003 03:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Er - um - please cancel that last request. Everything is cool and copasetic and stuff. Thanks anyway *smiling*

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Monday, 7 July 2003 03:45 (twenty-one years ago)

rosemary: Done.

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 7 July 2003 04:14 (twenty-one years ago)

sorry faggotry, i didnt mean to offend, it wasnt meant in a bad way. i only meant theres no big deal here, there is nothing of any bad consequence, theres nothing to get all het up about. your posts are no different from mine really

― gareth (gareth), Monday, 7 July 2003 08:34 (twenty-one years ago)

thanks, felicity!

― rosemary (rosemary), Monday, 7 July 2003 16:02 (twenty-one years ago)

thank you! your friend s1utsky!

― s1utsky (slutsky), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 02:52 (twenty-one years ago)

s1utsky you owe all mosquitoes an apology for that grossly insensitive thread. for shame.

― amateurist (amateurist), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 02:59 (twenty-one years ago)

they are our enemies! I feel no shame!

― s1utsky (slutsky), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 03:02 (twenty-one years ago)

If you want to post a new thread to ILE, slutsky, we can lock the other one and link it to the new thread.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 03:04 (twenty-one years ago)

New thread posted, link made, awaiting lock order.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 03:06 (twenty-one years ago)

would a moderator kindly delete this outburst of mine?

― amateurist (amateurist), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 14:13 (twenty-one years ago)

NO DONT DELETE IT! HE'S HAD IT COMING FOR TOO LONG!

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 14:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Keep it! He deserves it!

Haha cross post.

― Tim (Tim), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 14:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Tico Tico is correct: in fact we have committed the outburst to memory and will deliver it in person at the FAP tonight, by the deadly means of CLOSE HARMONY SINGING

― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 14:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, he's right up his own arse.

Oh.

I'd sign it under fair comment actually.

― Pete (Pete), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 14:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I will not delete it, kindly or otherwise. It is one of my few pleasures in life.

I was attempting to clarify that turning down a request for deletion is not that which gives me pleasure. I'm going to delete my unclear antecedent now.

― felicity (felicity), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 16:02 (twenty-one years ago)

there really are too many moderators around here, it seems. it's like, u can just be talking innocently to one of your ilx phriends, and before u know it, he/she lurches out and deletes something somewhere, making u feel so less powerful as you realize that he/she has been a secret moderator all along. it's like living a double-life.

who here is *not* a moderator? or is there any list of who is ?

OK, fair enough, F. I have no idea who I was picking on; is he some kind of ILX mascot or something?

― amateurist (amateurist), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 16:56 (twenty-one years ago)

More of a bogeyman.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 16:59 (twenty-one years ago)

ok ya'll, it's, like, me and dada as non-moderators and the rest of you who are ...TS?

we win!!

― Vic (Vic), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 17:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Ha ha, I haven't earned the right to categorize Ptee, but it's not like he's a multimational mogul or anything.

He's not?

Dammit, could some kind moderator kindly fix the Alex James image on this thread by putting in the I? Cheers...

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 09:34 (twenty-one years ago)

That would be THIS thread:

Could someone resize or remove the really huge picture I posted on the robot thread? I didn't know it would turn out so big.

― Nicole (Nicole), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 11:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Okay, moderating out the giant Tom Selleck pic on the Threadkillah! thread was completely unnecessary IMO.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 19:10 (twenty-one years ago)

it crashed my machine dan and i'm using broadband

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 19:14 (twenty-one years ago)

ok now dada is posting photos to every single new thread. this is going to cause major problems for those of us with slow connections. it was funny for a few hours.

― amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 19:15 (twenty-one years ago)

it was an embed obliterating the entire thread: ie same as if you or i had locked it to "win"

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 19:17 (twenty-one years ago)

The problem is that Dada is doing something really interesting (I mean, not every post is golden, but overall...) and yet it's formally irksome to... um, to those who have slow connections and can't be arsed to change their setting to "turn images into links", I guess. Does that setting not work or something?

― Chris P (Chris P), Thursday, 10 July 2003 05:54 (twenty-one years ago)

no offense to either party, but the Dada stuff reminds alot of Custos in rimshot mode

― James Blount (James Blount), Thursday, 10 July 2003 05:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Chris, I don't want to turn that setting on b/c the average ILx user does not abuse photo posting to warrant this. Why should I miss out on everyone else's photos b/c Dada is completely overkill?

― That Girl (thatgirl), Thursday, 10 July 2003 06:11 (twenty-one years ago)

but you don't really miss out, you can view any photos you want to by clicking on them. at least has merit as a temporary solution

― ron (ron), Thursday, 10 July 2003 06:28 (twenty-one years ago)

But how do you know which ones you want to click on??

Many of us occasionally post pics that add to the goodness of a thread. I don't want to be forced to miss out on this occasional pleasant surprise b/c some asshole can't think of anything else to do.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Thursday, 10 July 2003 06:32 (twenty-one years ago)

don't get me wrong i totally know where yr coming from. as chris points out, dada occasionally posts pics that add to the goodness of threads. (though i'd say the nature of the gimmick will make that less and less the case with each post)

― ron (ron), Thursday, 10 July 2003 06:51 (twenty-one years ago)

have the brains around here or the isp investigators, etc finally figured out who this person is yet ? ned?

― Vic (Vic), Thursday, 10 July 2003 07:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah I've had to change my settings to 'turn images into links' which I suppose is no big deal but I feel a little sore about it. I liked seeing the odd picture come up.

― Tim (Tim), Thursday, 10 July 2003 07:39 (twenty-one years ago)

As Dada is a very new poster, initially there is going to be a huge burst of activity. Probably s/he will settle down into a more regular pattern of posting that will be managable and acceptible to other posters. Give him/her some time, and if this continues to be a problem, then I think we should address it.

Because I've generally been quite pleased with Dada's occasional contributions.

― kate (kate), Thursday, 10 July 2003 07:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Can someone tell me if "Did anybody else cry at the end of the 25th hour?" has 24 spoilers in it?

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 10 July 2003 10:11 (twenty-one years ago)

No I surmise that thread's about a cinema film called the 25th Hour.

My understanding of 24 is that a 25th hour would rather spoil the concept. But maybe you were asking about the specific number of "25th Hour" spoilers there are in that thread, in which case the answer is still no, but may be yes later.

I am not a moderator but am happy to provide this service.

― Tim (Tim), Thursday, 10 July 2003 10:17 (twenty-one years ago)

My feeling on dada is that some of the pics are good contributions, and as someone on a dial-up at home, it's not even the frequency of them that's a problem - it's that some of them are really colossal, like hundreds of times the size of regular pics. I don't want pics that take half an hour to download. Plus the instance on the Threadkiller thread, which was just abusive. If those small-minority cases were eliminated, I would have no problems - though I'd happily live without most of the pics, many of which make no real contribution and aren't intrinsically interesting.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 10 July 2003 10:29 (twenty-one years ago)

If the ISP is any indication, Dada is a completely new poster. Beyond that, nothing is known.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 10 July 2003 14:30 (twenty-one years ago)

sigh, mark - "someone"'s whining you're a nazi again

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:20 (twenty-one years ago)

And this time in ALL CAPS!!!! Oh joy.

― kate (kate), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I think it is his way of saying Mark S. is sexxxy.

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Songs about women that think they're sensitive/caring but are actually skeevy/misogynist/sexist was a thread that I was waiting to be ruined by him for a long time...

― kate (kate), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:23 (twenty-one years ago)

man, ilx moderators ain't nothing to fuck with!

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:24 (twenty-one years ago)

meanwhile, ilx moderators: engage!

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Is that what that was about? Ah dearie me.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:27 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, he's posting all over all kinds a threads now - see here.

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:30 (twenty-one years ago)

(I would like to opine that if the original thread had been left alone rather than deleted, the progressively uglier ones wouldn't have happened.)

so what now?

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:50 (twenty-one years ago)

(they haven't gotten progressively uglier have they?)(I didn't see the original - too fast for me! - but the successors have been identical no?)

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:50 (twenty-one years ago)

they looked pretty identical to me

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:52 (twenty-one years ago)

It's an identical message on about 10 threads. If we kill one, we really need to kill them all. (And yes, I fully support killing them all.)

Kate is james hetfield shockah!

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:54 (twenty-one years ago)

The latest incarnation of the thread which was deleted started making personal swipes at specific posters.

The whole situation bothers me because I base a good amount of my schtick on hyperbolic filth and while I don't think Spooner is particularly funny or anything I do have to wonder why it seems like I can get away with it but he can't.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:55 (twenty-one years ago)

(I would like to disagree with Dan. Hi Dan!)

― Tim (Tim), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:55 (twenty-one years ago)

James has fluffier sideburns.

Dan: because you are friendly and Spooner is evil.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh I was disagreeing with Dan's previous comment not that one. I think Ned's right although sideburn talk confuses me.

― Tim (Tim), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:58 (twenty-one years ago)

We've been through this before with regards to my own occasional filth.

-Posters such as Dan, myself, etc. are capable of occasional filth in bursts of funniness, yet it is not the ONLY schtick that we ever contribute to the board. We are members of the community, we don't just drop in to provoke posters like little boys pulling the wings off of flies
-Posters such as Dan, myself, etc. (except for a few regrettable drunken or emotional outbursts) generally DON'T insult or personally attack other posters

I can't really quantify or qualify the difference, but there is a difference. Perhaps simple the fact that the behaviour of and moderation of posters like Spooner makes us THINK about what we are doing, rather than just continuing it blindly.

― kate (kate), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:59 (twenty-one years ago)

MAYBE U SHOULD ASK OTHER POSTERS WHO USE THESE BOARDS IF THEY WANT A THREAD DELETED BEFORE U ACTUALLY DELETE IT

― sean g, Friday, 11 July 2003 15:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Grow up, "Sean".

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:03 (twenty-one years ago)

So Tim, you think if we hadn't ignored the original Gwyenth thread, he still would have posted two others titled "Return of the Gwyneth thread" with nasty comments in them and then posted "Return of the Gwyneth thread" in all-caps to eight others?

Also, while filth is predominantly what Spooner has offered, it isn't the only thing he's offered. (James's search shows that.)

I'm not complaining about being in the ILX clique, mind you; it's just that I never really thought of one actually existing and I generally like to try to talk to everyone. (This is how the online me is markedly different from the real-life me.)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Sean, why are you shouting? The rules of the boards are quite clear and grossly distended rehearsals of the "delete" / "don't delete" argument will only ever be boring.

Dan: he'd have said something else just as tedious and I think as a kind of sign of boundaries of acceptability deletion is a good thing in that case.

― Tim (Tim), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Dan - you think he wouldn't have? this is someone who clearly WILL NOT BE IGNORED < / glenn close>

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:07 (twenty-one years ago)

do we need to rehash mark s' dictum everytime or do we need to rehash the preface pseudo-free speech discussion first?

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:08 (twenty-one years ago)

James B OTM - use the search function and revive the 9000 old threads about free speech on a private forum if you want. Meanwhile the mods will and should delete anything this tosser posts.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Dan, I see yr point, but yr markedly funnier. And there's many other reasons, as above I guess... I just follow ILX mod rules as laid down by Tom/Mark, and they seem like perfectly good ones. I don't think Calum's a difficult enough case to warrant worrying about on this sort of level, maybe someone will be one day (maybe Dada already is?).

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:12 (twenty-one years ago)

The first thread did continue to get worse and worse as he just waited for us to delete it and was as bad as the ones that followed it. His only reason for posting it was to get it deleted and to tell you the truth Im getting paid while Im hitting refresh every minute or two so it doesn't bother me playing his little game.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Free Speech for sean, and the general public's reaction here.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:17 (twenty-one years ago)

it's like cloak and dagger!

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:19 (twenty-one years ago)

You missed some, Noodles!

― kate (kate), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:19 (twenty-one years ago)

with Cal, um, Spooner as the imaginary Dabney Coleman and yr. friendly neighborhood moderator as the real Dabney Coleman!

Yours, for one.

i figured. mr. decorum.

― amateurist (amateurist), Friday, 11 July 2003 18:08 (twenty-one years ago)

The rules cut both ways; posts that are trying to stir up bad feelings are supposed to get deleted.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 11 July 2003 18:09 (twenty-one years ago)

ok, you're right, you should delete it. it was an oblique reference to the boy who cried wolf, btw.

― amateurist (amateurist), Friday, 11 July 2003 18:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't see anything that merits deletion, Dan. Is that really a rule? I think it's a matter of degree. This is just a supposedly humourous sly dig. ILE is full of that stuff.

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 11 July 2003 18:12 (twenty-one years ago)

"supposedly humorous" nails it.

― amateurist (amateurist), Friday, 11 July 2003 18:12 (twenty-one years ago)

I should say that I am against deleting every thread Calum posts, just because they are by him. I am all in favour of deleting all his repetitive and stupid misogyny, and his threads whining that we delete same, but that one he started about strawberries was fine (possibly despite his intent) - if he revisited and started whining again, get rid of that. He has caused too much trouble and been too much of an arsehole to deserve more consideration. We should consider banning his whole IP domain too, though that would freeze out anyone else who happens to work for his employers.

I still think we should be keeping copies of his more abusive stuff. We might consider threatening to send highlights to his employers, with times and dates, pointing out that he is posting this stuff from their machines.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 11 July 2003 18:24 (twenty-one years ago)

whoah, martin, a lot of stuff we all write would probably be considered outside the bounds of what our employers would like us to be doing at work!

also the offending posts on the calum thread were mine, not calum's (for a change).

― amateurist (amateurist), Friday, 11 July 2003 18:25 (twenty-one years ago)

what a weird coincidence that he should post on the same day all the spooner stuff goes down!

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 20:18 (twenty-one years ago)

I posted a thread on ILM that seemed like a less-than-terrible idea at the time, but I've since been convinced I was wrong. Could you erase it? Thanks.

Moderator(s) currently around, could you just take away my last post on the dinner party thread? I was good-naturedly jesting with Ally, but now I'm worried if I offended her or anyone else and it's troubling my conscience. I don't want to throw any insinuations around here these days.

Thank you.

Ok then leave it there, I quite like my work, honestly. See if you can put it up a bit higher, maybe cast it over in bold. Easy on the typing - I spent a hell of a lot of time getting that fucking spelling right, what with my typo-frequency on here!!

What is going on with the code? At the bottom of the "Heavens! ILX is slow and frustrating ;)" thread there was an admin log of actions taken by Graham today.

I also tried posting something in another thread and it wouldn't let me, so I was wondering if the code is being messed with.

I don't know. The only way to remove them is from the database and I don't have a password for that any more.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 18:15 (twenty-one years ago)

regarding graham's post to that thread about speeding ilx up: if certain administrative actions are a major factor then it would certainly help to request that the 4 million people with moderator privileges don't just use them in order to tidy up after themselves. I was looking around on the log page the other day and a surprising number of moderator actions involved changes to posts that the moderator in question made.

although I did this a few times myself when I was a moderator I must say, besides the extra load on the server this just does not seem that cool.

― Josh (Josh), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 20:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I am am bad culprit of this (tidying up typos, making wording better immediately after posting, though not later cause that seems like cheating). I did not stop to think that it might slow down the server. I will stop.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Thursday, 17 July 2003 07:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Just a question, are there some scheduled tasks on the server that occur between midnight and 3 aussie time, because that my explain the slowdown around this time. (and of course, the meeting off last hour of UK work, NYC lunchtime and just in the office westcoast)

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 17 July 2003 08:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Ah crap, I'll stop too

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 17 July 2003 08:28 (twenty-one years ago)

the long searches are the real pain, they accumulate, then they slow down the newanswers caching, and THAT then slows down all requests based on newanswers, so all these things snowball into a, er, logjam (can you snowball into a log jam, mm jam. paper jam is my favourite)

Are all searches long searches, or are there any tips for getting them quicker? Because it's not like the punters are crying out to be staring at a blank screen for minutes.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 17 July 2003 10:05 (twenty-one years ago)

The more common the word and the more search terms you use, the longer the search. Try to think of one unusual word that appeared/might have appeared in the thread you're after, if possible.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 17 July 2003 10:15 (twenty-one years ago)

There's a Spooner thread on the loose on ILM and it's lasted longer than usual. Can one of the mods please crush him like a puny ant?

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Thursday, 17 July 2003 10:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Provide links please.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 17 July 2003 13:59 (twenty-one years ago)

No offense intended, but could we not have an error message that reads: "TURN BACK YOU POXY FULE!" Having to read that repeatedly makes me slightly nauseated.

― Rockist Scientist, Thursday, 17 July 2003 16:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, it should say "FUCK!" in enormous 72pt letters in red flashing text t odraw everyone's attention to it within the workplace setting!! Also: midi files and porn.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 17 July 2003 16:38 (twenty-one years ago)

How about tubgirl pic?

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 17 July 2003 16:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Midi files OF porn.

Erm, what's happened to the 'search' feature?

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 18 July 2003 07:37 (twenty-one years ago)

here are the links to the spoonered threads:

POX titties

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 18 July 2003 07:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Spooner is being personally offensive towards me on the "nice arses" thread. I would ask that his comments about me please be deleted in the interests of good taste. Thank you. But you can leave the stuff about Julian Casablancas, that's far more interesting.

― kate (kate), Friday, 18 July 2003 07:38 (twenty-one years ago)

delete this thread too:

POX nice arses

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 18 July 2003 07:39 (twenty-one years ago)

No! Don't delete that thread! Everything that wasn't him was nice!

― kate (kate), Friday, 18 July 2003 07:40 (twenty-one years ago)

I think graham should always have admin priveleges.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Friday, 18 July 2003 07:40 (twenty-one years ago)

its gonna be an effort to just delete his posts bcz he'll keep posting to it but whatever. the links were asked for. i just gave it.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 18 July 2003 07:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Sigh. Can you not delete it, but just delete his offensive post and lock it? I liked Sonic Boom saying I had the 10 best asses in pop.

― kate (kate), Friday, 18 July 2003 07:43 (twenty-one years ago)

heh. like i said. whatever.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 18 July 2003 07:45 (twenty-one years ago)

maybe get the ip (since apparently it's where he works) and e-mail someone else there 'here's what this fucker does on your dime' (or at least threaten too).

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 18 July 2003 07:47 (twenty-one years ago)

in any case, some generic ip blowback might be useful.

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 18 July 2003 07:48 (twenty-one years ago)

also, as I have registered the e-mail address spoonered@excite.com, I must profess outrage, OUTRAGE!, at someone posting using that e-mail address. ahem. let him use his own addy.

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 18 July 2003 07:56 (twenty-one years ago)

(I was going to post this on the "Nice Arses" thread, but it's now locked (why?), might as well post it here. So this is about Spoonered.)

But he used to be capable of sensible conversation too, I remember. Call me a hippie, but I've always thought reasoning with someone (if it's possible, and in this case I still hope it is) is a better option than being aggressive towards him (=deleting half of his posts). It'll just make him more convinced that we are pseudo-liberal Fascists, and he'll keep on coming in more and more oppressive incarnations.

Please, "Spooner", prove me I'm not wrong.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 18 July 2003 08:50 (twenty-one years ago)

If we hadn't tried a bunch of other options first, do you think we would still be reduced to this? This is not something that has been undertaken lightly or without debate.

― kate (kate), Friday, 18 July 2003 08:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Isn't it a bit harsh to get in touch with his work? Isn't it just possible to block the ip address?

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 18 July 2003 08:53 (twenty-one years ago)

yes. it is v harsh. he's harmless.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 18 July 2003 08:54 (twenty-one years ago)

i think its fine as it is to just delete his threads.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 18 July 2003 08:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I was just trying to summon back the old Calum, who was merely irritating, not aggressive, and at times capable of intelligent conversation. But I guess he's beyond hope now. *sigh*

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 18 July 2003 08:59 (twenty-one years ago)

By the way, how do you know he posts from work?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 18 July 2003 08:59 (twenty-one years ago)

i think it's a lost cause tuomas: also it's rubbish that calum wasn't aggressive — he turned into "spooner" the moment someone argued with him (especially a woman): his idea of "free speech" has always been absolute prtoection of free speech for HIM but the moment anyone says something HE dislikes he was calling out for it to be deleted by the moderators or for other posters to be banned — and taking up a lot of our time doing this

i'm trying to find the recent ADMIN page which explains the decision in full, but search is disabled and i can't get onto the uncategorised total list at the moment

― mark s (mark s), Friday, 18 July 2003 09:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, but he did post normal, non-irrittating comments as well, and he was at least able to defend his point of view with some sense, even if few agreed with him. This new guy, he doesn't even try.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 18 July 2003 09:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm feeling kinda evil here - guys I'm not this other chap. I'm a trouble maker, true, but not this other guy. I'll stop this rubbish tho.

― Spoonered (Spoonered), Friday, 18 July 2003 09:10 (twenty-one years ago)

If you're really telling the truth, great! And, if you want talk about other things than titties and arse, you have at least my blessing.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 18 July 2003 09:14 (twenty-one years ago)

what stopping means = "stop playing deliberate timewasting mindfuck games with the moderators"

― mark s (mark s), Friday, 18 July 2003 09:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Torture a puppy in front of him and we'll soon see if he isn't Calum.

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 18 July 2003 13:31 (twenty-one years ago)

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Friday, 18 July 2003 13:32 (twenty-one years ago)

― Temper Temper (Nicole), Friday, 18 July 2003 13:48 (twenty-one years ago)

It doesn't work linking images from your hotmail account, because you need to be logged in to hotmail (and you don't want to give us your password, trust me!) to see it. What happens is, you view it in your inbox, you post it here, while the image is still in your webcache, you see it online (even though we don't, because we were never in your inbox) and when it drops out of your webcache, you can no longer see it.

― kate (kate), Friday, 18 July 2003 13:48 (twenty-one years ago)

PP, hotmail probably retitles the urls of attached pics as your mailbox updates, so it's not a good way to post a pic. Have to get some webspace I think. Do you have a home ISP that gives you any?

― Knicker Knicker (nickdastoor), Friday, 18 July 2003 13:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh yeah - what Kate said too. Duh.

a great way to get some free image hosting is start a yahoo group. you have to make sure to set it up as a public group

there is already an ilx yahoo group

― Pizza Pizza (dali), Friday, 18 July 2003 14:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes but ron, does it allow remotely embedded links to pictures? Yahoo Geocities doesn't.

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 18 July 2003 14:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Can someone explain what happened to the search feature, and if the old options are going to come back? ILX is so huge now it'd be nice if it had some more choices for filtering content, and search worked well for this, though I suppose if it was slowing the server down too much it might be worthwhile to look into other options. Hope that doesn't sound ungrateful; I know it's free and lots of people have put a lot of effort in and all that.

― chester (synkro), Friday, 18 July 2003 20:05 (twenty-one years ago)

The search function was unfortunately causing some temporary shutdowns of ILX, as you noted, so we're considering changes/upgrades to the server. Fear not, it will return!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 18 July 2003 20:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Thanks Ned, I just saw Graham's explanation on the other thread too.

My point here really is that I've found the keyword + search-after-this-day or before-this-day features more useful than the new answers page, and wanted to make sure the big lizards knew people appreciated their efforts.

― chester (synkro), Friday, 18 July 2003 21:01 (twenty-one years ago)

could someone kind please eliminate my email address from the thread about "any SF-area ILXors wanna do a favor for their old pal Neudonym?"

that would be very nice. I'd say ditch the thread entirely but who cares really. plus I want gygax to read my thank you.

you can post them elsewhere as long as you set up the group as public.

― ron (ron), Saturday, 19 July 2003 00:48 (twenty-one years ago)

you have to use their built-in upload feature rather than doing the ftp route, but other than that it seems to work ok. one small annoyance is that the urls of the pics are insanely long strings of gobbledygook

― ron (ron), Saturday, 19 July 2003 00:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I have posted a pic (where the link has broken) on the 'so right then, who do you fancy' thread which was in my hotmail in box. Does this mean people can now gain access to my mail & if so, please can you delete the pic. Someone has asked a question that might have come from my inbox & i am now starting to panic! cheers!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 21 July 2003 07:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Hotmail login info isn't contained in the url, so don't worry.

Phew, thanks very much for that N! I was very worried for a moment there!!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 21 July 2003 08:04 (twenty-one years ago)

The reason Mark knew your name is cause of your botched link to somewhere on your hard drive, the path of which has your first name in. Do you want me to delete that?

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 21 July 2003 08:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Its just a way of recognising that you've said the same thing as someone who was posting at the same time as you.

Christ knows. He was always good at those interweb search things (he was involved in the early Google beta's so he has all that basic code.) The reason we never talk about pre-Ilx (for want of a better word - and certainly the reason why we haven't posted that boards name) was because there was nothing he liked better than bragging about all that shit and what he could do.

Tom knows better than me (and yes, alright Tom you don't have to keep e-mailing me - I know its my fault I shouldn't have mentioned it) - which is why him and Ned never speak of it.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 25 July 2003 14:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Nope -

When I'm 'on call' as a mod/admin, it's Tom.

Otherwise it's Tico Tico.

Another administrator needs a break so I volunteered to come back and do my duty by the boards.

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 25 July 2003 14:46 (twenty-one years ago)

It's more like the hitman being pulled out of retirement for one last job scenario.

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 25 July 2003 14:48 (twenty-one years ago)

More like a cop Nick - can I be saddled with a rookie moderator on my last patrol and have to bring in a dangerous serial troll?

How do we know if its the real Tom and not an impostor? I propose we put both of them in an electrified maze full of 90s indie CDs and Ayingerbrau round every turn. The evil impostor Tom will die a swift and painful death after clasping hold of the booby-trapped copy of the eponymous Blur album.

One thing I kind of miss about Greenspun now is all of the board shutdowns. I actually think it would be a good idea if the boards were to shut down for a few days so that everyone can cool down and stop being so irritable and snappish.

Could someone delete my *Plonk* post from Why is Religious Education part of the curriculum but not Political Education? ? It makes little sense without Calum's preceding post.

Also, the "All Updated Posts" link off the New Answers screen is missing, which can mean people making an unneccesary search to find threads (eg, this one).

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 17:14 (twenty-one years ago)

ummmmmmmm, second problem is noted, one of us will have to look into it, it was mentioned elsewhere this afternoon.
Martin, you wanna straighten out that other problem with his post?

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 17:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Hm, I'm not sure what to do there, Andrew - there are a whole bunch of things reacting to some comment by Calum that has been removed. It does make it hard to make sense of several posts. Not knowing what to do, I will do nothing. Some other moderator may wish to intervene, but these changes really slow up the board a lot, so I'm disinclined to make loads of fiddly changes to lots of posts.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 20:48 (twenty-one years ago)

for some reason, some fucking idiot posted a really disgusting picture in this thread below (in case you were wondering it's not the one of robbie williams naked but it's the one of a spider and its truly revolting.) the guy who posted it is a c***.

If "c***" means "Calz" : watch it, buddy. If it means "cunt", you're mostly right. And the picture is as necessary as the thread it's in.

ok sommermute, i apologise. i over-reacted to the picture because i'm a card-carrying arachnophobe. maybe you could explain why the photo is necessary and what it means? and what is Calz?

― neil, Wednesday, 30 July 2003 10:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, fair enough, Martin.

Cheers, Mr. Noodles. While I'm on the subject, the link to "Show All Questions" on the New Questions page should point to "&complete=true" instead of "?complete=true", cheers.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 10:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Never mind neil, I think Mr Noodles deleted the thread anyway.

― Sommermute (Wintermute), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 10:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Can you send me what I asked for? You need to do SHOW CREATE TABLE on each of the tables, and then launch mysql in quiet mode and run SELECT * FROM daylight and copy the result. Then you can carry on breaking things.

Well what do you know, your right Andrew, check back tomorrow or so.
As Im sure we have all noticed by now, Tom answered Graham on the other thread the complaint was raised on.

disturb the pillars of capitalism

I have a problem with the slander being aimed at me by someone calling themselves Spoonered on this thread. I'm being called stuff that is seriously out of order and that genuinelly offends me. Much as I might cause some debates here that heat up I've never labelled anyone a racist or used such contemptable descriptions of people I do not know.

― Calz (Calz), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 21:08 (twenty-one years ago)

"do you need me to point out your 'rape is not a crime' posts elsewhere? or your 'the darkies are ruining british music' "serious" posts?"

I think this should be removed, the guys saying I'm a racist, which is such cock as you know. I think that seeing that you guys remove posts from me, and others, rightfully if they are slanderous - this should be taken off too.

― Calz (Calz), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 21:15 (twenty-one years ago)

you used racist terminology on that thread - it's fair to call you racist.

Get a life loser. I will not be Googled on your sick, fucked up, horrific comments - I was a victim of racism myself as a youngster and I have, grudgingly, spoken a little about myself which I don't use ILE/ ILM for. I will not tolerate your vile and sick comments and I will fucking kick your ass if we ever meet you racist, sick bastard. What a loser you are. Get a life.

― Calz (Calz), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 21:20 (twenty-one years ago)

consider I'm not a straight white male I have no doubt you will want to try to 'kick my ass' if you ever meet me. maybe you can bring some of your jackbooted friends with you you facist twat.

― spoon ered (spoon ered), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 21:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I deleted what is supposedly Calum's surname (no idea if it is or not or how 'spoon ered' got it) from that thread because that's totally against ILX rules.

Please drop this now.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 21:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I have a problem with the slander being aimed at me

Not for nothing, Calum, but you've spent the better part of a week doing the same to me, and you don't see me crying like a girl. Get over it, learn yr lesson.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 31 July 2003 01:20 (twenty-one years ago)

The only protection Moderators will allow you is that of not having your personal details published. If someone wants to hurl racist insults at you or call you racist, Calz, then you'll just have to defend yourself. Sorry, but this can only be taken so far.

― amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 17:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Thx for the info Noodles. Not exactly the answer I was looking for, but I will soldier on notwithstanding. And I don't think I agree with the rationales for the "killfile bad" position -- they all seem to assume that posters will cabal up and plonk other people en masse. I think the only reason that ever happened on Usenet was because it's so easy to establish a killfile.

Wow, you've managed to find the two most disturbing images in the world and post them both on this thread. I'm giving this man a medal!

Yay me! :-)

Hey mods, can you get rid of edgy style mag name in the magazine thread? Apologies to S*zy for being responsible for that.

― Mark C (Mark C), Monday, 18 August 2003 14:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Well I'd say I was responsible, so apologies from me. Still, can I claim no special knowlege on this one, I just put two and two together. I didn't realise it was a sensitive issue.

― Nathan W (Nathan Webb), Monday, 18 August 2003 15:51 (twenty-one years ago)

There are a few threads I know I'm never going to read for one reason or another - is there a function that allows you to ignore a thread, i.e. it doesn't appear in new questions or new answers when you're logged in? Is this a terrible idea?

― Mark C (Mark C), Monday, 18 August 2003 15:56 (twenty-one years ago)

No and yes. We've done this one enough times already.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Monday, 18 August 2003 16:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Please can someone mark the 'fave playmates' thread as unsafe for work? thanks.

Sorry, I don't know how to link threads.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 07:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I changed the offending photo to a link, maybe people will get the idea not to directly post that kind of picture. Will revisit.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 11:59 (twenty-one years ago)

thanx!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 12:13 (twenty-one years ago)

The guy who posted the "Who sucks the most, France or Sweden?" thread may be a potential troll. Keep an eye on him.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 12:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorry I missed it, RickyT. After all, I only post here to annoy you. Sheesh.

― Mark C (Mark C), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 12:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Could someone delete my posts here, please? They were stupid and pointless and could very well have caused damage to Gareth's thread.

― Bryan (Bryan), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 20:11 (twenty-one years ago)

You're going to have to get someone besides me to do that, Bry-Bry.

There is no reason for deleting that! (Also the thought crossed my mind too.)

Well, y'know, you can still click through to the picture, but I won't be offended it anyone wants to change it back and change the subject line. Whatever works best for everyone.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 03:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Could someone delete the duplicate "I hate Bright Eyes" threads on ILM? I'm no fan of Conor Oberst, but it just seems redundant and a waste of space.

woah - there's some white supremacist posting shit on ilm on the siouxsie thread, the punk vs. hip-hop thread, and god knows what else by now.

― cinniblount (James Blount), Saturday, 23 August 2003 16:26 (twenty-one years ago)

predictably he's found the skrewdriver thread

― cinniblount (James Blount), Saturday, 23 August 2003 16:28 (twenty-one years ago)

also plz delete my response to him on the punk vs. hip-hop thread

― cinniblount (James Blount), Saturday, 23 August 2003 16:29 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, that guy is creepy, what is to be done/should anything be done?

― s1utsky (slutsky), Saturday, 23 August 2003 16:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Okay, got a few of them at least (as well as your mentioned response).

Bah, though, I realized I forgot to grab the IP. :-( Send word if more surface.

this is the thread where i shout for fellow moderators or anyone who can tell me what the fuck is going on.

― animal wrangler (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 25 August 2003 05:21 (twenty-one years ago)

if you view the page logged out it might make more sense

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Monday, 25 August 2003 05:23 (twenty-one years ago)

makes sense now.

― animal wrangler (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 25 August 2003 05:42 (twenty-one years ago)

it makes even more sense when you check the isp numbers (HI ESOJ!)

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 25 August 2003 06:00 (twenty-one years ago)

er, i think there's been a misunderstanding. i sure as heck didn't start that thread, i was 'some guy' who posted the first response (cue vague embarrassment)

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Monday, 25 August 2003 06:01 (twenty-one years ago)

meanwhile, unless it's inhibiting free speech too much, if someone wants to delete that thread already

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 25 August 2003 06:02 (twenty-one years ago)

ok esoj (I was kinda 'esoj? wtf???')

haha - I've thought the same thing!

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 25 August 2003 06:49 (twenty-one years ago)

he'd be all "the problem here isn't, at least not completely, trife at the spinning wheel (i suspect we're used to trifean rhetoric by now)- it's that we got at least three (ideally) distinct arguments, set up in a way such that involvement in one implicates you in the rest. so if you think this isn't the ideal URL in which to be arguing these issues, you become inseparable from the person saying that race is no longer an issue in current american society" but he'd put it better, and be right.

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Monday, 25 August 2003 07:07 (twenty-one years ago)

he'd totally get my vote for class president

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 25 August 2003 07:15 (twenty-one years ago)

He's Finnish!

I was sad to find this out. "Kalevala" in his name is the Finnish national epic (like the Edda poems in Norway) which some of these stupid fascists use as an "inspiration" (there's nothing about racial purity there, but they use it to emphasize their "Finnishness"). Luckily, the extreme right-wingers in Finland are a pathetic bunch, we haven't had a noteworthy far right since the 1930's. I hope it stays that way.

only sometimes? I don't know why he doesn't just drop it.
Could you give a link to the message itself and we can get it faster. This may require clicking on the show all details button to see the message link.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:33 (twenty-one years ago)

ok, someone added the tag. i guess more "swimming pool" spoilers are not in my future.

I've tried setting up Matt Coastal as an extra Moderator, but it ain't having none of it (it comes up with a message saying "no priveleges set" when all the goddamn boxes are ticked). If you could set him up as one i'd be eternally thankful, that is if I live that long.

Oh, his username is "Matt"

I'm off to a wedding for the weekend - see you later!

― Lynskey (Lynskey), Friday, 29 August 2003 12:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Shit, I'll look into banning the IP if its our same unfriend.
Unless Andrew or Martin can get it going prior, I'll get my hammer out on Saturday and fix Matt up for you.
Lynskey if your still about can you email the IP to one of the email groups we use for this sorta thing?

Done. I'll try looking into the reason why it wasn't working since Im enjoying Chelski struggling.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Saturday, 30 August 2003 14:37 (twenty-one years ago)

uh, there was some Geir-started thread about songs with certain words in the title that just disappeared. What's that about?

― hstencil, Saturday, 30 August 2003 14:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean just 'cause the guy is a doof, why delete the thread?

― hstencil, Saturday, 30 August 2003 14:47 (twenty-one years ago)

okay so I don't have time to get mired in controversy, I've got to get going, but can whomever deleted that thread, at some point, post their rationale for doing so? It seems really arbitrary and - wait for it - creepy.

― hstencil, Saturday, 30 August 2003 14:53 (twenty-one years ago)

That was me, meant to delete the image redirect from our eager grunge fan, ended up deleting Geir thread while watching Amaroso going bannanas.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Saturday, 30 August 2003 14:55 (twenty-one years ago)

hstencil, if you wish to find out who did what, check the admin log. It can be found from the log page which has a link at the bottom right of most pages here.

-- j.lu (flavi...), August 30th, 2003. (tracklink)

I that a chink of that thread and theres no clear consensus that it is just a myth, so I think the thread should stay.

If you're sure it is a myth J Lu you should convince ppl on that thread.

i just deleted a thread started anonymously quoting someone else anonymously (long ago) attacking people for discussing a non-anonymous actual real now-occasional poster who i'm not going to name bcz the thread — even though it had her name IN THE TITLE — was nothing to do with her

get a fucking grip people

― mark s (mark s), Sunday, 31 August 2003 21:10 (twenty-one years ago)

ie make the point — if there actually was one — w/o merely incidentally and thoughtlessly trashing people who actually post here but are not in any way involved in any discussions you are currently having

― mark s (mark s), Sunday, 31 August 2003 21:12 (twenty-one years ago)

fair enough mark, i didnt mean to call any one person out, you know? just to say i think misandry's considered AOK by a few too many people around here.

ok fair enough zxcvbnm, but ask the question another way plz: i don't see why that poster should have to read all that stuff all over again when it wz really nothing to do with her, or anything she'd done, in the first place

― mark s (mark s), Sunday, 31 August 2003 21:23 (twenty-one years ago)
