This is SHOUTING-for-MODERATOR thread pt. III!! [derailed: go to thread IV]

Im at home today so its not such a biggie. But please people, if you post a link to the message itself it can be edited with being viewed directly.
(Just click on the admin link for any message and replace the message id with the one for the offensive post in the URL and you got nothing but html of tubgirl.)

Im of half a mind that we keep the post and remove the image so we can keep track of the aliases and the IP addresses being used.

I Hate Sex link was deleted.

Forwarding Burden, I and many of my friends have been to the ASPMA site at least a hundred times, including that page, and have _never_ had a problem. I took a look at the source code for the page, too, and don't see anything that could be an exploit.

Are you sure the timing wasn't just a coincidence? That site is a very, very popular one, and I'm on a couple mailing lists that discuss song-poems -- I'm positive that someone would've said something by now were there a problem, and Phil Milstein is a "known figure" in the outsider music community: I'd be very surprised if he's planting trojans on websites. (Have you tried emailing him? It's possible that his site was hacked.)

If at all possible we should add an if or switch statement to the 'ihttp to IMG SRC' routine to convert those to a picture of Ma$e or something.
But it does look as if the attack has ended at the moment, I just cracked a cold one to entertain myself with too, ohwell.

add these lines to the file

A:link[HREF*="redcoat.net"] IMG { display: none ! important } A:link[HREF*="goatse.cx"] IMG { display: none ! important }
IFRAME[SRC*="redcoat.net"]  { display: none ! important }
IFRAME[SRC*="goatse.cx"]  { display: none ! important }

save the file and select in s the style sheet to be used by your browser. In Safari open the preferences and select the advanced tab. No more tubgirl.

You can also use this to block banner ads and the like.

A:link[HREF*="redcoat.net"] IMG { display: none ! important }

A:link[HREF*="goatse.cx"] IMG { display: none ! important }

IFRAME[SRC*="redcoat.net"]  { display: none ! important }

IFRAME[SRC*="goatse.cx"]  { display: none ! important }

It occurs to be that ilx could use css in this way to block undesirable content.

'Phil Milstein is a "known figure" in the outsider music community: I'd be very surprised if he's planting trojans on websites'. As opposed to a "known figure" in Motown -- is outsider music going all Motown? I too would be surprised.

OS system doesn't support anything newer, VC++/hard drive won't allow a third browser.

I apologise for letting him near the server. Is there anyone here who has a clue what they're doing re:SQL that can take over?

In response to worries about slower response times I did indeed try changing the main newanswers query -- I experimented back and forth between my new code and graham's, with no obvious difference I could detect. I was worried about the slow down -- it predated my changes and i don't know where it came from. Graham noticed a difference between his and my code and here he is telling me about it.

I will not access the server ever again. Graham do not ever write to my personal e-mail address again.

I cannot work co-operatively on a project like this with someone who makes it unpleasant to work on. Does anyone else want to try working with graham?

ok that was a cross-post with alan: i'm not rewriting, it's not worth it

(Of course I will hide this pint in a round situation and therefore it won't feel all that special - but I am tight like that).

The point is that he's going on about being unable to work with me when he's never even tried to.

anyway, i guess you've got what you wanted: we now get to ask you day and night, once again, to consider and enact any and all changes we think for to request, in return for exactly the same thankless take-the-tech-support-for-granted that pissed you off so much last time

one of the reasons ppl don't go out of their way to be nice to you is possibly that when they do they know from a history of yr behaviour that it will simply be thrown viciously in their face in a few days/weeks/months time (what youi just did to alan being a picture-perfect example): after the dust is settled, they know you will busily start portraying whoever made an effort to be nice/be helpful as the villain... so why even bother starting?

this bad loop (kindness => bad feedback => end of kindness => worse feedback) can be broken, but not by anyone other than yourself...

(cross-post again)

in answer to your question: we would like you to try to make an effort to learn to treat other people on the planet as if they mattered in themselves, not just as part of your plans for them

on our world — that of the regular users of the board — giving alan the password worked fine

(X-post) Graham, you have a way of squandering sympathy and goodwill that is second to none.
