(I mean, the answer is probably "no", but WHAT THE FUCK?)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Sunday, 27 April 2003 17:21 (twenty-two years ago)

(Haha other mods please delete this and my other two previous posts, it's out of our hands now.)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Sunday, 27 April 2003 17:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Dan, I don't even know which post you're referring to, so I guess that's a "no" from me.

― felicity (felicity), Sunday, 27 April 2003 17:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Millar, what are the reasons for your request?

― felicity (felicity), Sunday, 27 April 2003 17:57 (twenty-two years ago)

general drunken despondency regarding people and the world, if I recall correctly (5:27am? WHY?!?!) I guess it still stands. If James wants the thread deleted then I think that pretty much covers it. It's not important anymore, though, there's good stuff on TV again and I am presumably firing on all cylinders.

― Millar (Millar), Sunday, 27 April 2003 18:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Huh? What is happening here, why, and who?

― Cozen (Cozen), Sunday, 27 April 2003 20:51 (twenty-two years ago)

That's email. He is copying and reposting messages on some ILM threads. What he thinks he's achieving beyond the most trivial nuisance is beyond me. He is the most rubbish troll ever.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 27 April 2003 20:56 (twenty-two years ago)

he isnt very good, i wouldnt worry about it. it doesnt hurt anyone else, and it makes him happy

I deleted the really long ones from that thread.

(Directly from the database, so it won't show in the log)

― Graham (graham), Sunday, 27 April 2003 21:48 (twenty-two years ago)

There are a couple of really objectionable threads on I Hate Everything (no longer being posted to, but still google-able)

SHIT
I hate you enough to want to eat you!

candidates for deletion?

― Alan (Alan), Monday, 28 April 2003 11:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Go for it or do you need help from here?

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 28 April 2003 14:33 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm in favor of killing the first one but if you get rid of the second one you would lose this classic line: "Wake up you bitch and smell the reality of coffee!" Have a heart!

gareth linked to a thread about shirts whose collars are a different color, but the link pointed to the greenspun server so i found the right thread on OUR server and changed it.

I also deleted a thread I started last november where I basically ranted in a very confused fashion, kind of a losing-pomo-faith borefest. Since the only other posts were there to basically calm me down I don't feel too bad about it.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 28 April 2003 15:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Are we going a bit deletion-crazy today?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 28 April 2003 18:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I like the idea of ILX as a palimpsest myself but I know this is probably the least popular idea I have ever come up with.

― amateurist (amateurist), Monday, 28 April 2003 19:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Was anyone else having problems with ILX this afternoon? From about 2 to 3:30, I couldn't get in (error messages - not the poxy fule one but one saying that the page wouldn't load), then from 3:30 to 4:00 it was working, but really. really. slowly.

― Nick A. (Nick A.), Monday, 28 April 2003 19:09 (twenty-two years ago)

(Martin the last thing I mentioned I deleted a few weeks ago actually and it's been gnawing at me that I hadn't fessed up)

Nick A yes. I'm sure our constant often-futile reloading has helped immensely.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 28 April 2003 19:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Could summon delete my mis-posted red-exed comparison of Traci Lords to Renee Zelwegger, pls? Thx.

― jm (jtm), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 02:25 (twenty-two years ago)

can i please have my last post on the "this is all bullshit" thread deleted please.

― di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 02:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Done...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 02:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I find it hard to believe that Tracer Hand's post was anything less than brilliant and I call for its return to the ILE swampland.

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 02:35 (twenty-two years ago)

uh, is that porn star question phrasing for real? Jesus.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 03:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Can I reiterate here the value of a link? They aren't difficult to supply, just copy and paste. I mean, I don't know what Spencer is referring to.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 11:48 (twenty-two years ago)

sorry Martin, check out the phrasing of this question. Am I being oversensitive?

TS: Seka v Traci Lords

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 16:16 (twenty-two years ago)

It's pretty crass and arseholish, but I don't see it as a candidate for moderator action personally. Had it been the title, yes. Someone else may disagree, of course. (I've not answered partly because of the distaste, partly because I don't have a clue who Seka is.)

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 18:46 (twenty-two years ago)

That thread prob. needs 'B*ngB*s' style censoring, unless we want every perving Googler to find it (maybe we do, I dunno)

― Andrew L (Andrew L), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 18:53 (twenty-two years ago)

that just may be U&K if I knew who that first name was.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 19:02 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm very sorry but can someone please delete this cut-and-paste format-disaster? i'll repost it legibly in a moment

― jones (actual), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 19:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm afraid I don't have admin privs for that board! Speak to your leader, Nordcskls.

― felicity (felicity), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 19:57 (twenty-two years ago)

(btw, formatting goof-ups are not the spirit of this thread, I don't think. Have a care, pls.)

― felicity (felicity), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 19:58 (twenty-two years ago)

(i know, hence the apology - wouldn't have bothered if it weren't such a long eyesore of a post but point taken)

― jones (actual), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 20:16 (twenty-two years ago)

We are moderators, trying to keep this place civilised and prevent terrible things happening, not junior assistant editorial staff! I think we should try to hold a line on this, personally. On the other hand, I am hardly going to object to any mod who fancies that work.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 20:18 (twenty-two years ago)

again: understood, and my apologies.

― jones (actual), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 20:26 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, I accidentally posted an enormous article about Robert Mitchum on the Kneesocks thread but I left it up there ot punish myself.

― felicity (felicity), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 20:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I wasn't trying to get at you, jones, not at all. And I'm not in charge of anything here, I just think we should make the point that we aren't really here for that.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 20:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Martin, could you please correct Felicity's "to" typo in the post immediately preceding yours?

― nabisco (nabisco), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 21:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I have a small problem:
my new posts are added to the specter of my identity (without a clickable profile and web presence). Last time I checked the ghost was at:
100 Sébastien Chikara 119 (10) sebastien@hedonist-materialism.com

and my troo profile was at:
104 Sébastien Chikara 115 (14) sebastien@hedonist-materialism.com a hedonist materialism theory website

I erased my cookies, logout, login, changed my pw, checked if a cookie was not stored on my laptop or something and it didn't fixed it. The ghastly one is still rising. Statcock aside it is a problem to me because I want people to be able to click on my profile since it's part of some of my "conceptual" posts (exchange system, "pathos of distance" rules of politeness, etc).

Can someone fix this/ explain me what is happening?
(if the problem persists, when I'll submit this post the ghost profile will be at 120)

― Sébastien Chikara (Sébastien Chikara), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 03:46 (twenty-two years ago)

We keep responding to a post in "I hateverything" but it shows up blank unless you highlight it
the post is called "why are there so many stupid people on the internet?"

― Lola Falana, Wednesday, 30 April 2003 03:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Not a moderator, but try FONT COLOR="BLACK" in the brackety things.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 04:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I just posted for the first time to Sonny Tremaine's birdland thread and put my private email addy on. Can you change this for me please? Addy as in my prefernces/details, if you would.

― Jamie Conway (Jamie Conway), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 06:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Link?

― felicity (felicity), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 10:21 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm very sorry but can someone please delete this cut-and-paste format-disaster? i'll repost it legibly in a moment

Jones, do you still want me to do this? I don't mind. I enjoy my power.

Nu-moderator here, hi!

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 11:16 (twenty-two years ago)

where is the facility to turn off search engine indexing on threads?

― Alan (Alan), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 12:23 (twenty-two years ago)

That feature was discussed, but as far as I know hasn't been implemented. When I get some time I may do this.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 13:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Hi, can you remove a link on ILM please. It links to a spoof site using my name. Soliciters might start being involved soon, so I'd rather not have a link hanging arund on a site I use. Thanks guys.

What can you tell me about ESG?

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 13:10 (twenty-two years ago)

graham has a noindex attribute for threads which puts a robots meta-tag in the html, but there are only 2 threads with this set. i can have a bash at adding the facility to the admin pages if you like. (obv testing etc)

― Alan (Alan), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 13:34 (twenty-two years ago)

These:
attention: new LA club nite: designed for Ned ! with free MBV goodies !
Nacho Cheese! (links not work-safe)

― Alan (Alan), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 13:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Hi fellow moderators - I am having trouble giving admin privileges to a couple of my fellow ILFers - I keep getting an error message after I enter their names. What's wrong? If information is sensitive, could someone possibly email me off-list? I would really appreciate it. Thanks again.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 19:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Nordicskillz, I think the only ppl who can *hand on* admin privileges remain me, Tom, Alan, Andrew and Graham. Email some of the names/emails of who your designated co-mderators at ILF are and we'll do it for you.

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 20:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Someone has been playing silly buggers with the what are you listening to thread and put in a background. Can it be removed?

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 1 May 2003 06:21 (twenty-two years ago)
