can we ban this annoying one-note troll

best of the gzeus

Seconded.

I enjoyed the spooky short story aspect of this for a while - ages ago you knew this person, they were weird and annoying but you haven't thought about them in years, now suddenly someone knocks on your door with a long list of grievances against this person and recruits you as if you were as interested as they - there's a note of Kafka there. But I feel it's run its course.

Will consult with other mods but it seems reasonable to ban someone who only comes here to shit-talk an ex-poster, yes.

norman bates vibes tbh

yeah i wondered

Sorry but can I check why mods need to consult with other mods to ban an account dedicated to posting weird shit about someone who afaict hasn’t been here for years?

due diligence sheeesh

Because if we didn't then there'd be outcry about how undemocratic we are and how we're despotic cunts who should be punched in the face. Can't fucking win.

because there is no sense in treating this decision as a crisis/emergency that must be done with the utmost haste before ilx falls apart under the strain

xp extreme reply but ok

It’s a reply based in historical precedent

i feel like ilx mods know the context in which they must reluctantly wield their authority

i wonder do right wing message boards beg for more aujtorotarian modding, actually

idk those guys are all "freedom of speech" until somebody calls them a nazi or something

Message board drama dynamics transcend all cultural and political boundaries, I'd like to think.
