ADMIN LOG WATCH 2

Monday, January 6, 2014 2:54 AM I Love Music Thread: Xiu Xiu fans: Evaluate this (profoundly NWS) picture of Jamie Stewart. deleted.

what and why?

iirc animals can't give consent

wasn't this a super old thread though? why was it deleted now?

ASPCA threatened legal action, had to be done

why was that not in the admin log?

need to protect horse's privacy

still googleable ... for now

can't believe i didn't think of that. poor horse. All his horsey friends have probably shamed him.

profoundly NWS

misread that as profoundly NWW

Tuesday, February 4, 2014 5:07 PM Site Ramona and Yeezus (Matt P) has been temporarily banned.

get with the times, og thread bumped like hours ago

just now seeing that but the fart thread locks were controversial imo

uh, this ban happened 1 minute before I posted it.

first up is best dressed, father used say

and matt p -- you're my pal, but wishing rape on other posters is awful. you are better than that!

uh, this ban happened 1 minute before I posted it.

oh, i'm talking specifically about the fart thread locks from 3 weeks ago, not anything that just happened.

i was replying to deems

antɪsɪˈpeɪʃ(ə)n

what ahppened

a variety of unfortunate things were said on the woody allen thread and matt p played a trump card

m/l what i supposed

was it morbs he wished rape upon tho

it was morbs and that philosopher of the common man, aimless

ha this message board writes itself

Self clowning borad

dayo can i say i am sincerely enjoying this thing where you wake up in morning your time and catch up on the day's events

i am moving up from death wishes to rape wishes; it's called the New Civility

Aw thanks cad; it's a return to my roots, this is the time zone where I first started

Still need to make my way through a week's worth of ILH posts

dayo dayo where r u

morbz i wish u no ill & hope u recover from ur various ailments but ilx is lightly-modded and ppl are gonna type things. there's a mod system in place and it has vindicated u to a degree in this instance. don't keep it going i implore you

that's a muddled message tbh

Still need to make my way through a week's worth of ILH posts

recap: okc is unbeatable; lol knicks; the heat are old, tired, and sad and the pacers are unstoppable; the warriors are fun to watch; some-overrated-guy shouldn't be traded to ease some-bloated-team's luxury-tax woes; lol jason kidd.

darragh have you checked out my blog

Thanks Daniel! One of my secret joys of the past few months is seeing you resurface on ILH

thanks!

also i wanna put on record that the constant battering of aimless on this board is shit- much more sinned against than sinner imo

xp no, link pls?

and huddersfield win a few games or something

Hoping your brother is ok calz

Yes, seconded.

likewise

ditto

same

Yeah, it's lousy when you don't know what's happening and you don't know how to even find out. Some board ancients will remember September 11th, and some a little younger will remember the July 5th 2005 bombings, where we lost someone and we still didn't officially know until days after we all knew. It's probably good for calzino to be off the boards, but I'm not sure it'll be restful for him. (and I know, I know, it's not primarily for his benefit)

His behaviour isn’t as egregious as some who have been banned but if you haven’t noticed his posts veering wildly off course for a while now, seeming to never log off here and the increasing conspiracist slant to many of his posts, then you haven’t been paying attention.

I think it’s fair to suggest logging off if someone seems to be in a bad way. I don’t think it’s fair to suggest the board acts as an absorption pad for the the effects of the behaviour I mentioned above. I am not pathologising this, just mentioning what I have personally noticed.

Yeah that's all fair - it's climate and weather. As usual though, the tipping point is attacking people who are trying to help - notably but not only yourself.

It was more the swearing at ppl who were pushing back on the posting. If he had logged off for a bit it wouldn't have been enforced but he didn't care, as he told me so.

The post yearning for a return for Zoroastrianism was the worst, with a couple of others being v annoying, but times are bad what you gonna do.

when calz swore at me (which was not infrequent) i fully understood tbh. but also i guess not everyone is gonna be fine with it. idk

"The post yearning for a return for Zoroastrianism" - that was user Grandpont Genie, fyi.

I don’t remotely care about swearing so much as I do the manic constant posting, the conspiracy theory stuff, the constant presence without seeming rest. The Ukraine thread was where I was like, this seems not great? Does nobody else see it?

The fact people get more upset over swearing than the stuff I described is honestly a bit depressing.

I find the response to someone being banned a bit bemusing. Like as if it's a thing that happened by accident or was imposed upon us by one person, almost a tragedy, as opposed to a community of people flagging enough posts which they found fault with.

I don't know for sure, but I assume in this case, and in other cases, the person who got banned isn't particularly bothered. I argued with them as did others but I don't have any real ill will.

The post-mortem though seems a bit unnecessary, not least given the consequences are brief.

xpost

xp: tbh, I noticed it and was a little alarmed, but know that calz can get very screechy and make me feel stupid, so I tried my best to ignore it. Also, I'm not THAT up-to-date on world affairs, so when he's like "Zelenskyy is an imperialist warmonger," my best reaction was "I don't think that's the case, but what the fuck do I know?"

fwiw I didn't FP calz for swearing, it was because he has indeed been posting a lot of dubious crap. True, I didn't fp him until he started constantly belligerently defending his right to do so, but that was the underlying reason.

And while I think minimizing this down to people objecting to "swearing" is absurd, I definitely don't enjoy having to witness posters start vicious spats while I'm trying to process depressing and wrenching real-world violence, so I can sympathize with anyone who wanted that to stop.

Hardly minimizing. The poster has carried some things that can be argued from twitter on Ukraine and in ukpol threads, but people have a back and forth and its passed over.

Swearing and aggressiveness at a v bad point where everyone is on edge is a tip over point.

I know just didn't want to name the poster. Made me much madder than anything Calzino posted. Can't believe I checked myself lol

I thought he was joking!

Felt so wrong at the moment...but maybe it was!

Surely we can all agree that being an expert swordsman and looking dashing in a mask are worthy of emulation.

def joking imho

(xps) One for "How funny are you?" thread? I was livid about that post I must admit.

poorly formed for sure

May regret weighing in but...

While not defending the aggression and excess posting, call not so subtly referenced his brother at least 3 or 4 times and I can't help but wonder if that played into his anxiety. I'm not going to go beyond that when he's not here to explain and I don't know what kind of relationship they have.

But being someone with OCD (and i believe others here have stated they have it, so i only speak for myself), flooding yourself with every morsel of information is often a fear response to assume a form of control, to be 'ahead' of the danger. And it tends to be a response that happens in times of duress.

Also, having been on the receiving end of it before, it doesn’t often feel good having your mental wellbeing brought into question into the middle of a thread, where everyone can read it. I was often humiliated when people did that to me and then I lashed out because of that embarrassment where I might have been more likely to change my behavior if someone had pulled me aside off-board. But I have no idea if calz can even respond to off-board messages or if anybody is in contact off-line with him.

But I am not trying to defend bad behavior by any means, just trying to humanize behavior from someone we all ostensibly care about. I do think flooding threads with unsourced data of dubious merit is not good behavior and is something that i generally have an adverse reaction to and I don't think his responses to that of "hey I'm just posting you can take or leave it" was helpful. Nor the hyper aggressive responses.

I'm hoping that he does return, that he does recognize this and apologize, and work on those things that were mentioned and that we can welcome back our calz. But maybe I'm a pollyanna

(xp) Tasteless, stupid and so unfunny it didn't resemble a joke.

fair

swearing and aggressiveness at a v bad point where everyone is on edge is a tip over point.

ok sure I agree with that, but idk maybe because I'm fairly sweary myself but I think it's much much more the aggressiveness than the bad words.

I should add that I have appreciated calzino's acerbic posting style over the years and definitely don't want him to depart ilx permanently, just backing gyac up on the noticeable shift in recent posts, which preceded the Iran war

Yeah I do wonder if people just thought this came from 24 hours rather than a longer period of time.

an imminent threat for 47 years

I hadn't been in Ukraine thread so I hadn't noticed.

I do feel like this ordeal exposes my main issue with Twitter/BlueSky sites. Many have defended them by saying that you get news you wouldn't get from mainstream media from people much closer to what is happening. And yes, that often does happen when it's something like an Alex Pretti situation where there's full video of a shooting and it needs somewhere to go.

But there's just so much crap out there. People began relying on these sites more for advance tealeaf reading during the height of COVID and now use features like Trending or keyword searches and find voluminous tweet threads by people posting with confidence and authority who are often either distorting info for engagement farming or just outright talking out their ass.

So I get that with mainstream media being internally censored at increasing levels, people are rightfully looking for alternative media to fill that void. It exists but you don't generally need to be on YouTube, TikTok, BlueSky, or Twitter to read it.

I myself got taken in by unhinged COVID grifters in 2021 so it's hard to stop once you start, it's like eating your third bowl of chips despite your stomach aching

"Many have defended them by saying that you get news you wouldn't get from mainstream media from people much closer to what is happening."

I just happened to put BBC Radio 4 on for my cat as I'm out for the evening and I got to hear the whole ringmarole of how "its so hard to verify info out of Iran, but google images show that the Iranian army building next to the girl's school was flattened" but what we get is a recording of an American govt spokesman denying it all with this shitty journo dancing around the obvious.

So what I am telling you is that there are many ways to lose your mind.

To be clear I blame most of this not in social media itself but the Bezosification of mainstream media

xp why does your cat listen to bbc radio 4?

Bit of a Tory :-(

Cats are definitely “there’s no such thing as society” in mammalian form

Espevially house cats

Not sure that’s true. The good Vladimir Ilych Lenin and I have two things in common: we both speak English with an Irish accent and we both love cats.

I’m told pets come to resemble their owners over time

zoroaster moldbug

the thing i say over and over again is that _i can't protect people from the consquences of their own actions_

yes the entire world is in a prolonged state of crisis and none of us individually have the ability to fix it, it fucking sucks. it sucks when people you care about are suffering and dying and a lot of people are suffering and dying right now. once we get to a point where we're actually able to heal rather than just survive a lot of shit is gonna hit and it's gonna hit hard. right now, well, when someone cares about dies, my reaction is just "that sucks, i liked them". it's the same principle when an ilx poster i feel sympathetic towards starts saying and doing fucked up shit and (rightly) gets banned for it.

Coincidentally, I just received bleak news about someone I tried to help out somewhere else. (If one or two of you think you know who I'm talking about: Not him. Not her. Not her, either.)

Does it really make sense to reply with that to a post that includes this?

Yeah because the sentence you cut out

It exists but you don't generally need to be on YouTube, TikTok, BlueSky, or Twitter to read it.

is not something I know much about, so I ignored that para and responded what I ended up responding to.

Re: censorship. Whether that's what's happening or not isn't something I am going to spend a lot of energy on. However its happening there is a lack of information and analysis and I am going to go somewhere else to fill that gap. That means either knowing more or being taken in often or losing it eventually, or its already happened. Not saying its a great route.
