PROLETARIAT! ARE YOU GOING TO STAND FOR THIS? WORKERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE AGAINST THE MODERATORS! ETC!

WHY is it that every time someone acts like a big fucking crybaby on this board, the moderators get blamed, anyhow?

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

I don't think anyone was seriously objecting to the moderators here...

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

Cos they react? (Friday afternoon bit of fun). Anyway - off to the constitutional crisis thread.

MUTINY! MUTINY!

Because blaming hstencil is passe?

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yes, Matt, because a post that started off quoting the end of The Communist Manifesto was obviously meant entirely in seriousness?

Blaming hstencil is totally passe because now he doesn't get upset, he uses it as an excuse to be dodgy!

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

I blame that cunt Andrew Farrell.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah, it's that cunt Andrew Farrell's fault.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

I think Hstencil is being let off the hook too easily here. They tell me he has a "no nonsense" attitude towards moderation. I blame him personally. I heard him boasting in the locker room about how he had "shut ILE up like a clam".

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:33 (twenty-one years ago) link

I blame you and Julio, actually, Ronan.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:34 (twenty-one years ago) link

*rubs eyes* So what's the ruckus going on in here? Are we revolting? OF COURSE WE ARE! mahahahaha... *dies*

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:34 (twenty-one years ago) link

Someone just moderated the really abusive reply I posted to that.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

Someone moderated my joy. :(

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:38 (twenty-one years ago) link

we're all living in the matrix man

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:38 (twenty-one years ago) link

lets make litter out of these literati

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

You know in a nuclear reactor the "moderator" is the thing that makes the reaction more likely to continue. FACT.

― Alan (Alan), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:41 (twenty-one years ago) link

"we're all living in the matrix man"

Really, which one of you is Keanu then?

― smee (smee), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ned.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

Of course!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

Is that just a typo for Neo, or does Raggett kno Kung Fuu.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:45 (twenty-one years ago) link

Show him, Ned.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

Raggett knows everthing....

― smee (smee), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ask the Raggeys.

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

If Ned = Keanu then Ronan = Keano.

― Tim (Tim), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

Can I be Agent Smith?

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

I phoned Morpheus and he agreed it was ridiculous.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

haha - is Momus the "Misssster Andurrrrrson" guy?

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:52 (twenty-one years ago) link

I wanna be Monica Belluci's drawers

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:53 (twenty-one years ago) link

We can ALL be Agent Smith! Which rules, cos he's hot. James yr welcome to hours of mucus.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:55 (twenty-one years ago) link

All right folks, can we please keep the chit chat on this thread to a minimum? If any real requests come through we're probably gonna miss them amongst this hoo haw.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

Man, this has been the BEST THREAD lately! Drama! Hystrionics! Cunts!

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:58 (twenty-one years ago) link

Time for a new mod thread anyway.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:58 (twenty-one years ago) link

if the mucus comment was some sorta roundabout way of invoking cramouille count me in!

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'm looking out for them Sean, don't worry too much, I like going thru this stuff. There is a fair amount of room for blather all over ILX, tho. BTW I am no booster of the male parts either

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

Fine if you do, but if this keeps up I'm not going to bother. There's already a shitload of threads for this kinda chatter.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Friday, 16 May 2003 14:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

I kinda thought I'd said that, man

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 16 May 2003 14:02 (twenty-one years ago) link

Less chatter, more prissy nutso hissy fits! YAY!

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Friday, 16 May 2003 14:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

Um, whatever happened to the whole deal that, unless posts were abusive, SOMEONE ELSE revealed YOUR OWN personal info, someone posted as you, that type of serious stuff, that was the only shit getting moderated?

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 16 May 2003 14:09 (twenty-one years ago) link

I think that rule was MODERATED.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 16 May 2003 14:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

*dramatic music*

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 16 May 2003 14:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

What happened to those good old days?
When hip-hop, was so much fun
Ohh, house parties in the summer y'all
And no one, came through with a gun
It was all about the music y'all
It helped.. to relieve some stress
Ohh, we was under one groove y'all
So much love between North and West

Go back in the day
British Knights and gold chains
Do the prep and cabbage patch
And wear your laces all fat
Back in the dayyyyyyyy, hey hey
Hip-Hop has chaaaanged

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 16 May 2003 14:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

Are you asking me? Two people living in the house that ended up being discussed (not too surprisingly, housemate who started the thread) were hurt and wanted it closed. The SARS thread was closed for less reason. I'll reopen it if you like. I didn't think it was adding much to anyone's day.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 16 May 2003 14:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

So, Andrew, what part of "closing thread cos PERSON BEING DISCUSSED NEGATIVELY" doesn't apply to what I said was acceptable? Ed asking: acceptable to me. Kate fucking up and then crying: not.

I'm sorry I got involved in this discussion, actually--I just don't think it's particularly right that sometimes people come up with jackass requests about how they fucked up and get told to piss off. Sometimes, people come up with jackass requests about how they fucked up and people jump. It's not like it's a consistent "This person is favored" thing, it's like it depends entirely on who is reading at the time. Which seems like a shit way to do things--get on the same fucking page, yo.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 16 May 2003 14:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

Alot of people agree I'd imagine, perhaps the old days of no moderation were better.

That said I'm not sure there's a solution to what is definitely a problem. Maybe the moderators need to lez up more.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 16 May 2003 14:27 (twenty-one years ago) link

Anyway, now regarding this me-as-Keanu nonsense...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 16 May 2003 14:33 (twenty-one years ago) link

as ally has several times pointed out, this is not a form of parliament, it's run by by ordinary humans who have to make snap judgements in real time about situations which are evolving when they have other things on their mind...

of course it depends on who's reading at the time, how the hell wd it not? the idea that some abstractly perfect rule can be formulated to deal with any possible situation that ever arises is insane — the discussion here has arisen bcz of different interps of a general rule of thumb abt what constitutes invasive personal information

(if not insane: go away and formulate the rule for us pls, so that everyone can interpret it perfectly conformistically in all situations forever)

kate's original request seemed reasonable to dastoor and me at the time: proof our snap judgments were in fact correct — ed's subsequent request

yes of course this depends on non-general knowledge abt the various posters involved (ie i know and am very good friends with all THREE of the flatmates involved and know that in the past ed has requested that similar close-to-the-bone information be deleted)

yes of course the situation here relates to the specifics of particular posters: that's what "personal" means...

yes of course if a poster i knew much less well made a similar request about someone's name being flung around by another poster in ref. similar situation i might have taken longer to respond, not being familiar with the personal blah blah

― mark s (mark s), Friday, 16 May 2003 14:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

that's just typical

― Tim (Tim), Friday, 16 May 2003 14:41 (twenty-one years ago) link

Can I just say that the moderator to whom Tim generously handed over a crisp tithe is no longer in the employ of ILX?

Also were my publically accountable moderation guidelines ever posted?

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Friday, 16 May 2003 14:44 (twenty-one years ago) link

Dunno. They were good, tho.
