Mod request

Could a really kindly mod make an edit on
http://ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?action=showall&boardid=41&threadid=104302

I'd like the opening post to have the list of nominated albums to be removed and instead just have 2 links. The pastebin link is already there could you please add the following instead?

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/104IXKSHN1uWxe3MRFy4R5tHEOxLriKoBRKcjCNu_zus/edit?usp=sharing

the pastebin can only be updated by seandalai and he's busy so its out of date and id rather not have to repost another full list of nominations which I believe mucks up user searches. So just having both links seems the best option.

Can a mod help me please?

Thanks in advance!

Good idea!

thank you!

Well now my pic looks foolish

Could I get the giant Getting Things Done book cover (meant for another thread) deleted from the Billy Joel thread?

IT'S BETTER THAN DRINKIN' ALONE: The Official ILM Track-by-Track BILLY JOEL Listening Thread

idk it seems okay, it's not that huge

how will billy joel get things done if you delete the picture?

lol keep it

h i mods, THIS THREAD when i attempt to expand it is giving me a red screen saying 'DANGEROUS" and "Deceptive site ahead: Attackers on www.technodisco.net may trick you into doing something dangerous like installing software or revealing your personal information (for example, passwords, phone numbers, or credit cards)"

which seems a pity, as it is historically important etc -- can ther dangerous stuff be identified or taken out or nuetralised?

JAZZ IS LIKE HEROIN TO ME ! ! ! ~~~~ ILM POST-1945 JAZZ ALBUMS POLL - THE RESULTS COUNTDOWN (now counting top 25!)

^^^^this is still doing this thx plz

this post is the culprit, fyi

on the Houston Flooding thread I've unintentionally posted a linked live webcam image, thought I was linking a static jpg. Might cause an issue.

fixed the jazz poll.

the webcam image seems to be fine atm

cheers :)

Yeah it looks like the webcam only updates upon a page refresh, so that's probably not too bad.

can u set the password for my original username back to what it was before i scrambled it in a fit of anti-internet passion? if not, it's ok.

what is the name of your first pet?

Ban all lads

but keep all the dudes

Hi, mods! Is there a way to change my Phil D. to Liz D. or do I have to re-register?

Hey Liz! Yeah, you'd have to re-register. I'll be sure to keep an eye out.

Also I saw that this was mentioned on the trans thread, but people might also think "Liz D" refers to Liz Daplyn, who was killed in the London terrorist bombings in 2005. I was not around on ilx when she posted here, so I don't have the right frame of reference to advise you about this, but using that as a display name change could cause some confusion.

I almost forgot about that. I will change to something else so as not to cause unneeded pain or confusion for anyone. Goodbye, posting history!

Welcome.

lol, just realized there was a previous Eliza D. too! But apparently she only posted on one thread for one day.

Eliza D. wrote this on thread Things women shouldn't find sexy but do on board I Love Everything on Apr 1, 2004

In other words, the only posters claiming male pattern baldness is sexy are two bald men!

Eliza D. wrote this on thread Things women shouldn't find sexy but do on board I Love Everything on Apr 1, 2004

Some men shaving their head completely can look nice enough, if you like that look and they have the right-shaped head. But shaving their head is just another way of denying male pattern baldness by taking it all off. Show me a man who is sexy and is "out" about his male pattern baldness i.e. doesn't attempt to hide it by shaving completely.

Male pattern baldness is wrong and should be vigorously repressed by the sexiness police.
Brian Eno is very nice and very interesting. But he isn't sexy.

Brian Eno is very nice and very interesting. But he isn't sexy.

An entire nation of women disagree.

Not sure what nation, but there's bound to be one.

Could you delete this thread: Baby, It's Cold Outside: Classic or Rapey?

I started it not realizing that one already existed. Thanks.

done

hey, any chance you guys want to give me temporary mod powers so I can fix minor text fuckups on this thread as they happen? It would help my OCD a lot.
ILM’s Top 77 Tracks of 2018
I'm an ex-mod btw; would confine usage solely to keeping my own posts on that thread clean. Lemme know?

wd almost respect it if forks used this opportunity to ban all the other mods and rule ilx as king

Or something funnier idk

classhole

“Bill Maher—Classic” is already pretty funny

you forgot the exclamation point!

it makes a mockery of the entire classix/dud dichotomy

“Bill Maher is a dream boat”

Maher money Maher problems

Why is he so bad and hated

Look, if you want a thread called 'Bill Maher - dud!' then start a thread called 'Bill Maher - dud!'. The original poster didn't want to start that thread, and it'd be incredibly confusing to read the early posts with the name change. So no, I won't change the title.

As a mod I do change titles sometimes, but it's usually an addition, or I keep the original one in parentheses, or it's been asked for by the thread-starter. I believe the solution we came to for 'Is Morrissey a Racist?' was to lock that one and then start a new one called 'Morrissey Is a Racist'. But honestly, thread titles are not representative of the consensus of the board, they are representative of what the original poster wanted the thread to be called.

new thread should have been called "Morrissey is a Racist so if you're still making cutesy comments about his music in 2026 it says something about your values" tbh

The old “Is Morrissey a racist?” thread had its name changed AND a new thread started iirc

The title is just “Was/Is Morrissey racist?”

I still stand behind this thread title change:

Which animal would you use to crush Scrappy Doo?

Although I guess since that was my own thread, it’s not really the same type issue

could a mod remove my very stupid mis-post on the iran thread?

Hands off Iran!

Got it.

thank you. that was embarrassing

the "morrissey is racist" one is funny because i was kinda shitposting when i said "can we just change this to 'morrissey is racist', i mean he was obviously racist, i didn't expect the mods to change it just because of that haha, which.. my recollection is that they did change the title of "is morrissey racist?" to "morrissey is racist". i'm glad the mods changed it! because it's cool that everytime morriissey is discussed the thread affirms "morrissey is racist". something like "bill maher - classic!" is cringe but in a funny way, because lol

the one that bugs me most is "rip david brooks", because every time i read it i get my hopes up. he's not even that old, now that i look it up. there's probably some chicken little effect going on with me and that thread. i don't particularly ever want to hear anything about david brooks that _isn't_ an obituary at this point lol

The Morrissey thread title wasn’t changed. Someone just started a new thread with the preferred title. We could do that with Maher as well.

Can the title be updated?

Coachella 2025

Please add "And Beyond" to the end.

Yeah sure, I'll add that.

I have a better name for a thread I started:
Soft hands: Your 2026 Boston Red Sox

Could it please read:
Gray, Crochet and swing away - your 2006 Boston Red Sox

even OPs are only allowed to request title changes every 3 years max, right?

Nah do it, but make sure you stay faithful to the original request and keep it 2006 as a monkey paw punishment

ok

ty!

and lol

Can someone please delete my posts here - give me money

Clicked on the wrong thread and didn't realise, sorry.

Not sure why hidden tags didn't work. can this be sorted please:

suicide

Hide everything bar first line thanks

ok

Thanks, sorry to trouble you

could the mods, in their benevolence, put a link to Christine Green Leafy Dragon Indigo's gofundme across the top of the site? they can't work until their car's repairs are paid for, and i know plenty of ilxors would love to help them, it's just hard to let everyone know when the site's readership is so fragmented

https://www.gofundme.com/f/aid-for-chriss-car-repair-and-living-expenses

Hi cat - the mod team have had a chat about this, and we're really sorry but we can't: the precedent would lead to all sorts of difficulties in the future. We can't independently verify fundraisers, and picking and choosing who to support would be a minefield.

We do all wish Christine GLDI the best - I know sentiment isn't the same as cold hard cash but it's all I can do at the moment.

(Posting this as myself rather than anonymous 'mod' because I feel like the answer to this request shouldn't be completely impersonal.)

Please delete USA Economics - Protectionist Waste Management down 2pc

Got it.

xpost -- alas 😔 thank you for considering it, though

can a mod hide my list of players on my first post on this thread?
