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the pastebin can only be updated by seandalai and he's busy so its out of date and id rather not have to repost another full list of nominations which I believe mucks up user searches.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

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?

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

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?
How many players can you name on the 2026 ____?

I also thank you all for considering it, and thank you, Cat for suggesting it.

hi mod, could you add, in bold at the bottom of the first post --

***NOMINATIONS CLOSE FRIDAY AUGUST 14***

thank you in advance!

could my name be removed from this post: Er, so Adele must go or something? please? and then could this post also be deleted? and by the way, i had to register an account to ask this, i emailed s✧✧✧@il✧✧✧.c✧✧ about three weeks ago and got no response

Initially I just redacted the name but I've deleted the whole post now - seems like a fair request in this case.

thanks so much!

How the f do you post Youtube videos as a poll option? I'm getting poxy fuled like nobody's business no matter what I try to post.

Didn't think it could be done?

Oh right that explains it! I thought I'd seen it done before.

You could maybe use links if you formatted them right?

I'll keep it simple. I have no other choice tbf.

Yeah I think the way to do this is poll options that aren't embeds, and put the embeds as the first post(s) afterwards. (Hope it's not a 50-option poll.)

Posted it, looking to challenge Mark G as the undisputed champion of least popular polls on ILX.

I only know VDP and I think of that album as one glorious blancmange tbh

Even if it’s both funny and accurate, changing a thread title with no notice, no record, and no discussion fundamentally alters the context of every post made during the previous, let’s say, nine years. Even if the threadstarter requests it, there should be a buy-in from some arbitrary quorum of contributors, and even with both of those, there should be a notification in both the OP and in-thread at the time of the change. To do otherwise is essentially changing the text of every single post in the thread: this is a very shitty practice to continue enacting against people who published words in the understanding that if they read as stupid or ignorant, that was their own fault, and not the choice of a mod or admin to make (let’s say) nine years later.

Lol, I was drunk and thought it was funny and actually completely forgot I'd done it until half-way through your post when I realised you were talking about something I'd done. I do in fact fully agree with you on not changing other people's words/the context in which they posted, but this part: Even if the threadstarter requests it, there should be a buy-in from some arbitrary quorum of contributors, and even with both of those, there should be a notification in both the OP and in-thread at the time of the change has to be some joke about bureaucracy, right?

Because if it's not a joke I'm absolutely going to do some more unasked-for comedy modding just to be a contrarian.

I don't think that's a joke.

Mods are trippin'.

I think it’s funny and I am in favor of dialing up the Mod Chaos Factor very slightly

there should be a notification in...the OP

I like this idea. Some kind of explicit indication that the title was edited.

Case by case imo and this is fine. No future Committee of Public Morals is gonna think somebody was prematurely anti-terf, come on

I think the Morrissey racist thread got similarly changed a long time ago

I don't think it's a big deal in this case. But I like the OP notification idea just as a minimum standard of transparency.

"(edited)" or "(mod edited)" in the title would be better but I fear that would have an impact on the comedy value, hmm... many tradeoffs.

Usually when I change a title I will either put an addendum in parentheses, so a 'Joe Bloggs' thread where people have been posting RIPs after his death would read 'Joe Bloggs (RIP 24/04/32)'. If I'm changing the title substantially I will tend to add parentheses to be something like 'Morrissey is a twat (formerly: Morrissey is the cuddliest man in the world)'.

The actual Morrissey thread didn't get changed, btw, a new thread was started with a more apt title.

This particular incident was absolutely a case of Chaos Modding For Fun & Frolics and not representative of what the general process is/was/will be.

We can jam at Joe's GeBlogs

Sorry
