Here is the FAQ, if you want to know the rules we live by.

Its replacing this one:
SHOUT FOR THE MODERATOR V

No pictures please and thank you.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 4 November 2003 18:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh esteemed Moderator... It has come to Our attention that the name of this thread: Feudal ILE is perhaps a misnomer, and it is Our Royal Gracious Wishe that it should be renamed "Tudor ILE".

― Her Royal Highness Queen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 13:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh Mr. or Ms. Moderator: I'd like the name of my thread "Matrix 3" to be changed to "Matrix Reloaded: Spoilers Here," please.

― antexit (antexit), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 17:49 (twenty-one years ago)

nice save!

― cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 17:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Matrix Reloaded?

― Girolamo Savonarola, Wednesday, 5 November 2003 17:58 (twenty-one years ago)

That mistake was corrected.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 18:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I was wondering how I could have put the wrong title in the corrected thread subject. I feel better now. A little, anyhow.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 18:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey, why do my web address and clickable link to the "about me" page not work on the "users" page?

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Saturday, 8 November 2003 17:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I idiotically somehow managed to put a new thread up about Kelley Stoltz which belonged in ILM, not ILE. Could someone delete it and I'll re-post it? Thanks.

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Sunday, 9 November 2003 07:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Done.

― Andrew (enneff), Sunday, 9 November 2003 09:33 (twenty-one years ago)

On the subject of moderating, how does one categorize an uncategorized thread?

― gygax! (gygax!), Sunday, 9 November 2003 22:48 (twenty-one years ago)

nevermind, that was easy.

― gygax! (gygax!), Sunday, 9 November 2003 23:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Can someone knockout the password protected image on the recently revived Shiksa thread?

― bnw (bnw), Monday, 10 November 2003 07:03 (twenty-one years ago)

(Alan has done this.)

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 10 November 2003 13:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Could it be possible to add a plonk module to ilx, like the possibility to add some users in a personal "ignore list". I have seen it requested before, what is the opinion of the lizards on this?

― Sébastien Chikara (Sébastien Chikara), Tuesday, 11 November 2003 16:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Either learn to ignore and be your own filter, or else get up from the computer, go take a break, and come back and ignore them (us?) when you are calm. I wouldn't want to live in an ILX where we could filter each other at will, no matter how much I sometimes think it could be a good idea.

― Citizen Kate (kate), Tuesday, 11 November 2003 16:32 (twenty-one years ago)

it was pretty much decided not to ever do that, S

― Alan (Alan), Tuesday, 11 November 2003 16:33 (twenty-one years ago)

If you've seen it requested before then you also know why we don't do it.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 11 November 2003 18:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Unfortunately there's no real way to stop rudeness or other cruel behavior on the boards -- you can either ignore it or be rude back.

― Nicolars (Nicole), Tuesday, 11 November 2003 18:08 (twenty-one years ago)

If you've seen it requested before then you also know why we don't do it.

how come such a contrarian became a moderator? NO I DON'T KNOW THAT'S WHY I ASKED. please stop interacting with me? I've seen someone wish for this in some thread and that's it. I can't believe I'm actually justifying myself to that guy. I hate to justify myself for no reason. mr noodles, do shut up.

― Sébastien Chikara (Sébastien Chikara), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 06:08 (twenty-one years ago)

you can either ignore it or be rude back

Or, you can be nice back - that really makes them angry. :)

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 06:20 (twenty-one years ago)

it was pretty much decided not to ever do that, S

I'll have to revisit the concept of elective affinities for myself to see if I can hack it to connect with this matter of fact.

― Sébastien Chikara (Sébastien Chikara), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 07:12 (twenty-one years ago)

how come such a contrarian became a moderator?

Something to do with some joker posting pictures of gaping 4nuses and spraying f3c4l matter all over the board if you really want to know.

RTFM my little would be socialist unfriend:
ADMIN: Killfiles?

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 14:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Will someone delete this post of mine: http://ilx.wh3rd.net/postmarkread.php?msgid=3986191

gratzi.

― A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 14:27 (twenty-one years ago)

destroy destroy yeah yeah, my contrarian nature has destroyed it.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 14:32 (twenty-one years ago)

-----I'll have to revisit the concept of elective affinities for myself

Have fun, man!

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 14:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Conan The Contrarian Vs The Rouge Monitor FITE.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 14:52 (twenty-one years ago)

socialism aint got a thing to do with all of this.

― Sébastien Chikara (Sébastien Chikara), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 15:41 (twenty-one years ago)

You may notice a thread or two disappearing today, just cleaning up from C4lum.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 16:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I think someone broke the blitzkrieg thread:
http://ilx.wh3rd.net/postmarkread.php?msgid=3998648

but in a very pleasant and sparkley way.

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 17:42 (twenty-one years ago)

nevermind, I think I like it that way.

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 17:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm wondering what's up with all the googlers this last week. Is somebody big linking to us or something?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 21:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I couldn't tell you, but I am quickly becoming enthralled by this page
http://ilx.wh3rd.net/log.php?board=1
which was reset back on October 11th.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 21:58 (twenty-one years ago)

delete please.

― Dean Gulberry (deangulberry), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 22:27 (twenty-one years ago)

delete this please. (godchrist)

― Dean Gulberry (deangulberry), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 22:28 (twenty-one years ago)

why? (One option: I could fix the html, if you tell me what was supposed to be big and what wasn't.)

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 22:31 (twenty-one years ago)

nothing was supposed to be big. i messed up and left a "a href" in the title. dunno how things got big. also, i reposted already.

― Dean Gulberry (deangulberry), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 22:45 (twenty-one years ago)

OK, I got rid of the html in the title and all is now well.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 23:05 (twenty-one years ago)

thanks much. this duplicate should probably be deleted then.

― Dean Gulberry (deangulberry), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 23:06 (twenty-one years ago)

All the Lighning Bolt, Technotronic threads are getting a bit trying...

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 13 November 2003 00:16 (twenty-one years ago)

i think i'm done. can't vouch for the technotronic though.

― Dean Gulberry (deangulberry), Thursday, 13 November 2003 00:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Could someone with mod privs on ILM pick a Technotronic thread as the "official" one and lock all of the others with redirect posts to that single thread?

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 13 November 2003 00:27 (twenty-one years ago)

i locked a whole bunch and deleted a couple of new barely started ones, someone can pick the "official" one if they really think it's worth it

dan wd you like mod privs for ilm?

― not really a moderator (mark s), Thursday, 13 November 2003 00:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I was enjoying those Technotronic threads.

― (Jon L), Thursday, 13 November 2003 00:57 (twenty-one years ago)

why?

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Thursday, 13 November 2003 02:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Also please change the title of this thread to "technotronic have certain flaws" since the original title is, in retrospect, really nasty.

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Thursday, 13 November 2003 02:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd LOVE mod privs on ILM.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 13 November 2003 02:47 (twenty-one years ago)

done

― mark s (mark s), Thursday, 13 November 2003 04:41 (twenty-one years ago)

waaah! why the 'iron hammer' approach to technotronic threads? is it clm? this latest was quite a tricky query and now it is lost to the ages! waaah!

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 13 November 2003 19:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Skipping 495 messages at this point... Click here if you want to load them all.

It was Noodles who deleted it fwiw, I'm not quite sure why he doesn't just pipe in and speak for himself on the issue.

― Allyzay, Monday, 15 December 2003 18:43 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't at all appreciate when people come in and prune out left-leaning posts with absolutely no justification

This has jack to do with his political sympathies and everything to do with his general idiocy. Please do not assume any deletion is being done out of some rightwing plot.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 15 December 2003 18:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned, don't you dare rain on my parade.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 15 December 2003 18:54 (twenty-one years ago)

This is sounding suspiciously like 'We invaded Iraq because of Saddam's general idiocy... Or some other reason. Whatever it was, it was the right thing to do because we did it and we are right. Because.'

― Momus (Momus), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I've been away for a few weeks and don't know the exact context...

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:36 (twenty-one years ago)

I caught Saddam.

I was all like, "Eh, guys...check in that hole by the farm."

And they were all like, "Nah, man..."

Then i was like, "dude, trust me."

― El Spinktor (El Spinktor), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha Momus is not bothering to understand what is going on SHOCKAH alert Dan Rather immediately.

― Allyzay, Monday, 15 December 2003 19:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Its true. I told them to keep the $25 million. Fame and fortune changes people.

― El Spinktor (El Spinktor), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:38 (twenty-one years ago)

goddam you just ruined my joke spinktor.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, what is the context? I mean, what justifiies people ruining a good, sensible thread because of other, silly threads I'm able to skip?

― Momus (Momus), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:38 (twenty-one years ago)

(See, Ned?)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:39 (twenty-one years ago)

No, Momus, I agree with you that the posts shouldn't have been deleted, see above. However, there's no weird right wing conspiracy going on to filter out "leftist" posts (as bnw said, what would be left of ILX if that happened?) but rather a bunch of people huffing and puffing over a psuedo-troll who likes to bang on about naked chicks and is sometimes mean to Kate, Blount and me. I mean honestly Momus, all you have to do is just read this thread semi-thoroughly and you'll see the context of the situation, whether you agree with what's going on or not.

― Allyzay, Monday, 15 December 2003 19:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Dammit Ally, don't you go ruining my fun, too!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha I thought I was increasing it? It's not like giving Momus a sensible explanation ever STOPS him from continuing on.

― Allyzay, Monday, 15 December 2003 19:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Your explanation just shows how right-wing you truly are.

― El Diablo Momus-o (Nicole), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:45 (twenty-one years ago)

No, I wasn't saying there was any conspiracy, just that there is a sort of political ecosystem within a thread, and when you prune it for extraneous reasons, or to punish a poster (pompously) for crimes committed elsewhere, you are disrupting the political balance of the thread and generally spoiling everyone's thread ride quality. YOU are being the 'trolls' (to use a word that should be left back in the dark ages where it belongs).

― Momus (Momus), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:46 (twenty-one years ago)

(See, Ned?)

Noted.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I think I agree with Momus on this one. I have no problem with people deleting Calum's threads as they are usually pretty pointless and meant to be distracting. But deleting his posts from certain threads often makes the thread unreadable since there are tons of posts referring to what Calum has written which has been long redacted. Plus, if people still find his point of view worth debating, then it should be debated.

― Dean Gulberry (deangulberry), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Talk of trolls = poster apartheid.

― Momus (Momus), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:47 (twenty-one years ago)

My God, I love all of you. (Except Dean, of course; STOP BEING SENSIBLE AND GOAD MOMUS MORE PLZ.)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Do you want to be a moderator, Momus?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm very sensitive to political balance on threads, and I don't at all appreciate when people come in and prune out left-leaning posts with absolutely no justification.

How many signatures do we need to get Momus officially disowned by the left?

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Do you want to be a moderator, Momus?

I don't even want to be a poster much at the moment.

― Momus (Momus), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:51 (twenty-one years ago)

momus but a) c-man arguing that americans are bad ppl or about re-election chances for bush aren't leftist arguments per se. a group of right wing republicans could equally take any position on the political atmosphere of the u.s. population and bush's re-election chances therein. and b) c-man saying *anything* makes what he's saying less credible, becuz of guilt by association.

yr. arguments are more credible without his endorsement.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:51 (twenty-one years ago)

haha momus as moderator would only delete fashion threads!

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Well Dan, I love you for your first comment on that "banner" thread though, so look deep into your heart and there you will find me.

― Dean Gulberry (deangulberry), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:54 (twenty-one years ago)

If we could just establish here that people just have a spectrum of opinions and that it's our right to discuss them but not to suppress them, we might achieve something. And banish the word -- and the concept -- 'troll' while we're at it.

― Momus (Momus), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I think that was tried on Usenet.

― bnw (bnw), Monday, 15 December 2003 19:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, I thought it was a tad overweening on the unfairness. I was quite happy to chat to Calumn on the Saddam thread; he wasn't posting anything objectionable or faux-naif anyway. He wasn't arguing from a perspective of left or right either, rather it seemed like a case of assumed liberal bias (FWIW the ALB squad doesn't consider feminism an issue worth discussing when setting the world bang to rights because boobs are distracting). Which is fine, if I can tolerate the vitriol of Oscar Mayer I can live with any viewpoint but that's a Voltaire issue anyway.

Ned, you've made it well clear you don't like C all that much purely based on his posts but in all fairness you were gnawing the Doomie chew-toy long after the fashion had passed, and even at his creepiest we never deleted *him*. So maybe you need to re-think. I don't know how much form C has on hassling outside of ILX but I do find that quite a few posters have come here purely on a wind-up mission and wound up liking it so much they cut it out and stopped awhile. If only all bad guys were as easily solvable!

― suzy (suzy), Monday, 15 December 2003 20:01 (twenty-one years ago)

MORE MOMUS PONTIFICATION ON 25-YEAR-OLD INTERWEB TERMINOLOGY, PLZ

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 15 December 2003 20:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Less Momus, more rock.

― NA (Nick A.), Monday, 15 December 2003 20:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Suzy is right about the Doomie parallel. I stumbled across a Ned - Doomie exchange from 2001 and it was full of the same vitriol I now see in Ned's C-Man responses, the same troll-hate. I think of Ned as balanced and conciliatory and polite, and this just puzzles me. I think it's something to be worked out between Ned and his therapist, frankly. It shouldn't disrupt sensible threads.

― Momus (Momus), Monday, 15 December 2003 20:12 (twenty-one years ago)

He's just tryin' to impress chixor, leave him be u bastards.

― Allyzay, Monday, 15 December 2003 20:13 (twenty-one years ago)

One's therapist = the 'moderator' with privilege to delete parts of one's own brain.

― Momus (Momus), Monday, 15 December 2003 20:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Who killed Walt Disney?

― El Spinktor (El Spinktor), Monday, 15 December 2003 20:19 (twenty-one years ago)

you have confused "therapy" with "lobotomy" I am afraid.

― Allyzay, Monday, 15 December 2003 20:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Thanks, Anne Coulter.

― El Spinktor (El Spinktor), Monday, 15 December 2003 20:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe Ned's behavior towards Calum and Doomie says more about Calum and Doomie than it does about Ned. Namely, that they are fucking assholes that can even piss off the nicest, most rational guy in the room.

― NA (Nick A.), Monday, 15 December 2003 20:22 (twenty-one years ago)

And they can piss of Ned, too! (ha ha ha, er)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 15 December 2003 20:23 (twenty-one years ago)

this thread is loooong

― Dean Gulberry (deangulberry), Monday, 15 December 2003 20:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Dean you fucker I now have 'He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother' on Internal Jukebox.

But to be fair, Ned did eventually start being chill around Doomie. Perhaps this is tipping point, hmm?

― suzy (suzy), Monday, 15 December 2003 20:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, could we ask the moderators to please practise therapy rather than lobotomy on the threads?

― Momus (Momus), Monday, 15 December 2003 20:32 (twenty-one years ago)

You could, but some of us would be too busy giggling to do anything. Win win!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 15 December 2003 20:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Nurse Ratchett, the straightjacket!

― Momus (Momus), Monday, 15 December 2003 20:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Woo, Nurse Ratchett was HAWTT.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 15 December 2003 20:36 (twenty-one years ago)

this thread is loooong

Yes it is. Is it time for Part VII?

― bad jode (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 15 December 2003 20:37 (twenty-one years ago)

But doctor, he's a doctor!

Nonsense, he only thinks he's a doctor.

― Momus (Momus), Monday, 15 December 2003 20:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Lock and load at 500, Jode.

― suzy (suzy), Monday, 15 December 2003 20:39 (twenty-one years ago)

can we stop evoking my name. the only time i come on here is do to a search on doomie. yes, yes, i was a miserable fuck. yes, yes. its all there. but can we have a moratium on the 'doomie' thing. its getting kinda weird that i can be away for two weeks and realise that people have mentioned me everyday. o.k.? i mentioned to norman via email that i would like to post on here but its impossible for me. i realise that. hell, i don't care anymore. but for godsake please stop evoking doomie all the time like i was reagan from the goddamn exorcist.

― doom-e, Monday, 15 December 2003 20:43 (twenty-one years ago)

thread continues here
