request to rewrite history in ILP photowheel thread

some HTML difficulties here, probably this post can be removed: the ever twirling ILP photowheel

and the flickr text from the subsequent post can also be removed: the ever twirling ILP photowheel

also this comment should be moved to the photo wheel companion : the ever twirling ILP photowheel

tyvmia

wow cant believe youre attempting to rewrite history

really sickening. 30 day ban please

ayo
yall need to make mikey jones or dayo or gr880080 a mod
seeing a picket jammed through the spokes of the photowheel is fucking up my day

I would be fine with my earlier comments being removed if ILP folk would like/mods allow it - I didn't realise until later it was to be pictures only.

make me a mod, i'll do it

if i were a mod, i would interrupt my rescue of a crying infant in a burning house, bust out my phone, make all the orwellian 乒乓 history edits in 30 seconds flat, and then pick up whatever charred limbs of the infant might still remain, continuing the rescue operation

me too, dayo. me too.

i nominaete mordy to be a mod. he already has all the letters in his name necessary

Modry. would be the best mod since JERFMAN

mordy could be the new angry tough guy mod, jj has sorta been off his game and becoming a dad will only soften him up further

agreed but insist he change his name to Moddy

Our moddy

get a xanga

get a xanga for your thread which is prob the best thread otf (on this forum) right now

this one needs fixing too the ever twirling ILP photowheel

bloody amateurs

Ingredients:

Serves: 12
2 lbs ground beef
1 (29 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (29 ounce) can kidney beans (with liquid)
1 (29 ounce) can pinto beans (with liquid)
1 cup diced onion (, 1 medium onion)
1/2 cup diced green chili pepper (, 2 chilies)
1/4 cup diced celery (, 1 stalk)
3 medium tomatoes, chopped
2 -3 teaspoons cumin powder
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups water
Directions:

1
Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat.
2
Drain off the fat.
3
In a large pot, combine the beef plus all the remaining ingredients, and bring to a simmer over low heat.
4
Cook, stirring every 15 minutes, for 2 to 3 hours.

Just felt like posting something inappropriate on to this thread too.

where is mordy's gold star?

for realz yo

im getting an error message trying to delete the first one (yeah idk why either, ive been trying it for the last few days so idk), the second one should be taken care of, and just to clarify, the third thing you want removed is the link from leee?

I didn't realise until later it was to be pictures only.

Fixing fucked-up HTML fine; the rest of it is a losing battle.

serious question, why is forks allowed to change titles and posts at will but dayo wanting to fix a thread is so horrific we cant countenance it

Yeah, tbh that deeply pisses me off too.

lmao

I think if the main populous of a subboard are okay with a particular style of modding it should be allowed - and it'd be better for the site mods to let there be a sub-board mod to take the workload. But eh, you're the boss.

*populace

Possibly because the first post doesn't specify any of these thread rules we're now supposed to be enforcing.

it was definitely my bad that i didn't put those rules in the first post, thought it was obvious from the stuff i was linking to but def an oversight on my part, i clarified a few posts down later in the thread

and just to clarify, the third thing you want removed is the link from leee?

― O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Wednesday, May 8, 2013 1:44 PM (37 minutes ago) Bookmark

yeah i already c/p'd it to the discussion thread

I don't totally disagree w/that. There's a few related things in this.

One is that only site mods can edit the content of posts, so an ILP mod isn't going to be able to meet Dayo's demands, it has to be a site mod.

The second is that board-specific (and thread-specific) mod policies have had effects outside their boards in the past, so prefer to tread more warily there. Even innocuous stuff invariably sets precedents.

The third is harder to explain, and I was trying to allude to it (and my arguably over-serious take on it) with the "destroying history" quip. From the start there's been a rule here about not deleting things posters later regret. This is true even now when there's more than a decade's worth of stuff, and the requests for "omg I posted this thing which embarrasses me a bit you need to delete all my posts from ILX right now" get more and more frequent. If we gave in to even half of them we'd pretty quickly start destroying old threads, and I take preserving this place and all its posts pretty seriously (possibly too seriously? idk)

That makes me incredibly reluctant to fuck with posts once they're made unless they've got personal information in them, are attacks/spam/etc, have broken HTML/links or other obvious cases like that. We're like usenet or email: once you've said your thing it's said.

So, yeah, while I love the photowheel threads and the edit demands seem relatively innocuous (if a bit OCD), it touches on the edges of a lot of areas that I think are much more important and am v reluctant to toss aside.

xxp

i vibe w/ that stet and dont really have a problem w/ not changing the photowheel.

we have been complaining about forks doing "comedy mod edits" for a while now though, its really irritating and as far as i know hes still doing and hasnt been reprimanded or asked to stop or anything:

requesting my post be changed back from a mod-lol comedy edit to its original form

thanks for taking the time to explain, stet.

iirc sub-board mods can "delete" posts (though they are not permanently deleted and can later be undeleted), having an ILP regular with this power would address dayo's concerns, correct?

ILP is a pretty active sub-board with a nice community and zero drama; asking for an ILP regular to be made a sub-board mod to tidy things up now and then seems like a pretty non-controversial request

I think if the main populous of a subboard are okay with a particular style of modding it should be allowed - and it'd be better for the site mods to let there be a sub-board mod to take the workload. But eh, you're the boss.

*ahem*

attn: gr8080

god max ur such a tattle tale

I don't think deleting posts really covers it either, because if you suddenly have a no-link jump between images that breaks the flow way more than a stray "oops", no?

I know what you're saying -- I just don't see it as "to tidy things up now and then" but much more like "to police one thread and delete posts that were made in good faith according to rules that are changing over time", which isn't the same thing at all to me.

Especially if it needs site modding, and then we're not far from a precedent of "this sub-board can decide it wants thread X policed according to these rules, site mods hop to it /drums fingers" xxp

I don't think deleting posts really covers it either, because if you suddenly have a no-link jump between images that breaks the flow way more than a stray "oops", no?

imo the flow would have remained intact without the cobra and clinton photos

also, hypothetically, were dayo (or me, or someone else) a mod, we'd have been able to delete the cobra photo before anything else was posted after it.... because we are ILP regulars who are following a fun new thread pretty closely.

well i think everybody's vibed to the rules of the thread and so far the offenders have been 1.) broken html links, which can be fixed either by the original poster or by whoever wants to submit a new post using the oriignal poster's image and 2.) incongruous stuff like the link lee posted, which can also just be deleted

oh man i was wondering about this, too:

shortly after i posted on this thread last week my 'my recent posts' search function stopped working but then yesterday it was magically restored very soon after darragh posted his question. however now i can only see those 'my recent posts' made after the restoration, if i try to go back further i get an error message, so it was a bit of a fizzer as far as restorations go.

this happened to me at presumably the same time as estela. did we ever get word on why? really throws sand in the gears of my upcoming publishing debut Flopson: the Unabridged ILX Posts

by fixed i mean, the original poster can just make a new post w/ good html, or someone else can do it

lets get back to forks tho

can we do 'my recent posts' first?

thanks for taking the time to explain, stet.

Co-sign. That all makes sense.

it turns out the real villain was ... ilx

but before you go, this whole forks thing...

gr8080 you are making a powerful enemy here

So the cobra thing was from a third-party too, I feel half-redeemed.

I thought that was obvious, you could tell from the bad jpg compression

lol, u guys need a better hobby so i'm gonna give you the opportunity to get one now: i'm officially stepping down as a mod, as much as anything cause it's exasperating hearing this same "who watches the watchmen" nonsense dredged up every four days when you try to pose like a comedy mod is some sort of serious abuse of power. but also because i would like to be able to turn images back on and you can't do that when you're a mod. enjoy!

so now who is going to fill up the entire admin log with screenshots of video games once a year for reasons i have never been quite clear on?

ha, once a year, all year

the forks experiment was clearly not a success and the people are now better off but as revolutionaries we should keep in mind that overthrowing mods like forks and WmC is really not all that disrupting to the hegemonic mod superstructure

hahahaha CAD

while i'm hardly clear on why i do the c+p thing anyway so fair zing there, what is going through the mind of the person reading the admin log is what i wanna know

ADMIN LOG WATCH

forks gdamn it why dont you see you cant be a moderator of a message board and simultaneously successfully shame people for being too into that message board

ha i disagree with that xpost

you guys realize that now jj is about 20% more powerful

right that was my point

there's always a failsafe

i've never understood why there isn't a list of currently active ilx mods somewhere, like on the admin log page for example

because i have no idea who is a mod aside from jjusten now

What happened to JERFMAN?

okay well i've got until stet gets off the train to utilize my fading mod powers so i ought to at least ban someone so that the only person i've banned wasn't lou jag for crissakes

can we start a thread to democratically elect a new mod

Ban me, then reinstate me as head mod, chief of all the mods.

thousands of xps, I shouldn't post just before leaving work for the day, sorry.

- If you'd be happy with just being able to "correct" mangled HTML by the poster reposting immediately afterward and the first post being deleted, I'm fine with that -- I'll do it myself, just post here if I don't notice it in time. (Ideally we'd have an edit window on posts here to allow for correcting that sort of stuff, but it's technically difficult to do that here)

- I've been overtaken by events on forks, but some things: I don't feel like I'm in any position to "reprimand" site mods. I'm amazingly grateful that people help make this place work, because we couldn't have this place without them and it's sometimes a really tough gig. Mods have to mod as they see best, and know that we've got their back as they do it.

Ultimately everyone more or less disagrees about how this place should be modded: posters w/me, posters w/other posters, posters w/mods, mods w/mods, and mods w/their past selves. I'm in a slightly different position -- more so since Pash left -- of being the final backstop and the guy with his hands on the keys and if someone went full-on hot-chick renegade, yes, I'd yank their privs, but it would take a lot to make me do it.

XP oh boy.

i've never understood why there isn't a list of currently active ilx mods somewhere, like on the admin log page for example

There was one, but it wasn't automatically generated so it got stale and I binned it. I've always been in two minds about the justification for it, too.

jj was more just tagging along w dan and tombot imho and has been pretty harmless on his own

oh no xp hi dere

can we start a thread to democratically elect a new mod

we did and cankles won

poll: the hunt for the next ilx mod

a thread on who forks should ban would prob be better

the answer is obviously himself

lets be fair iatee, canks and i tied

lagoon dont be a bully

well he didn't vote for himself

i dont think i did either, i never vote in polls tbh

its been a p long time since there's been a big mod to-do huh

full-on hot-chick renegade

lex should be a mod imho cause it would be funny to see him complain about not being able to figure out the mod interface

i still stand behind this btw:

Hahaha there is literally no one on this list I could be happier to tie with

very appealing even though he would probably blast me first if he ever figured it out

forks thank you for putting in a shift it was bound to end this way but being a mod seems like a terrible fucking business so fair play for bothering at all. thanks be to the mods. have we not reached a point with the internet when msgboard moderators should have a special day with greetings cards etc.

one day a year, the site mods get to ban everyone

forks just quit because he wanted to see images not because he was having a bad time didnt you see his post

its tragic that the man responsible for so many autoreplaces couldn't even appreciate them

mods should do more comedy filters w/o telling people

oh god plz no it was kind of funny for a while, that was so long ago

IMO those are only funny when site mods are doing it to other site mods, because those ppl can at least go in and change them back

OTOH the fallout from nbomb was priceless

I'm talking abt subtle comedy filters that make people look like they make typos but now that I think about it why would I find that funny what is wrong with me

prop comedy filters

after some wrenchwork, i think i got the other 2 deletions, somebody familiar with the thread want to check on that?

yah looks good, ty

today, ilx history was written.

now I can say that pottery sucks finally

photo wheel crushes all who stand in its way

they should make a film about the momentous events of this day with dayo played by a white guy to make it more palatable. needs a love interest tho.

but back to the photo wheel thread: it's a subboard with a set of frequent users, what wasn't clear is now clear, and there's zero site-wide policy to be changed. the nice thing about ilx moderation is that there are site-wide concrete rules about not doing on-demand deletes, modifying posts in the use of real names, etc. but the fringe boards are a place where I think having an interested mod doing as the users request is no big deal

I mean, in the worst case make sure the posts that are being mentioned are ok to remove by the posters.

full-on hot-chick renegade

The jig was up. The news was out. It was finally Chaki.

xp to RS

there shouldnt be any mods, really

but if there must be...

oh shit! look at that

omg

i thought it would have six points but... :P

:D

hahahahahaha amazing

it's what stet made out of forks' powers ;_; shine on lil star

you must be our mordy star

:D

I don't know how that will be saved in the boards database but I recommend starting as many threads as you can while you have that star

just fyi don't go walking out in traffic or anything until the irl superpowers are verified

does this post sound more - idk - special?

the Mordy you know http://www.ilxor.com/s.png

so...we can make "s.png" something offense in a few months' time right?

offensive too

that's Mordy, our little tubgirl

omg

i'm so glad that the photowheel set enough gears in motion that we finally got ILX avatars

stet should give himself double stars

so i heard there's a mod vacancy. i'd like to put forward my candidacy for the position. as u can see by the star next to my name, i'm obv hot shit so.

you need to give us your list of credentials

BESIDES the star

i'll run for mod of ilf just to see the buttons

the letters for mod are in my name xp

ya but the words for drama are in mine

idk he has a star next to his name

you got infinity in yrs and i dont see you modding shit

not true i am a mod of I LOVE CRICKET: THE CHINATOWN OF ILX

damn i thought that was a wicked burn too i rescind it completely and regret any offence caused to the denizens of I LOVE CRICKET: THE CHINATOWN OF ILX: THE CHINATOWN OF ILX

consistently best modded board

now lj is gone

and except for max

and lag∞n of course

never forget:

Right, this is a cool idea, but I doubt it's getting implemented anytime soon. I'm going to lock it, since it's not a modreq. If you want to discuss it more, take it to I Must Protest.

is max the next mod target iyo

always. obese racist that he is

easy target, yes, but next target specifically?

whooooooa i didn't realize that there was also Fun Stet

....is that a chinese thing

Agreed. I miss CrumpMod.

If I take up modding again some year, it'll be to wage a reign of terror that makes forks' tenure look like using the wrong fork at a fancy dinner party.

I vote yea

just make sure your jokes are funny

this is late but the essence of the complaints against forks was that the edits were tiresome and failed in their aim to be amusing, not some constitutional law ultra vires argument about mod powers

i wish he had sussed this and stopped them sooner before getting upset at the backlash

The essence of the complaints against forks was bitch moan whine whine from posters who do fuck all but bitch moan whine whine

But the edits were tiresome and unfunny

Correct on both counts, darraghmac.

wmc was a good mod because he was the only one who checked the mod req board

that was my point!

I second all that

just fyi guys, sometimes the reason things don't get fixed the minute they show up on mod req is that mods are talking abt policy stuff behind the scenes (ie this thread) and it takes a while to come to a decision.

smoke filled chatroom

virtual conch shell

past mod heads on a stake

how many chickens intestines have to be scattered before we have our answers dammit

most of the mod reqs I'm talking about are like 'hey this link is broken can u fix'

there should just be one thread for those kinda things and the mods can bookmark it

basically we have the seven commandments from animal farm scrawled on the chatroom wall with ascii illustrations

ive mentioned this before, but most of my lag time has to do with ilx modding being a pain in the ass on iphone (and impossible in zing) which is how i ilx 90% of the time.
