(note: I was also involved in the meta-shit but I dropped it immediately when reminded of what I was doing)

mod ban thyself

ice cr?m, Wednesday, 3 November 2010 21:16 (fourteen years ago)

calling the poster a "dumbass" in the admin log does not make the decision appear to be about the community.

oh wait what's this i thought for sure official policy was moving threads from 77

haven't seen the exchange in question but if whiney brought up that unperson bullshit again it's his own fault imo - it's not a dificult rule to follow

otoh 27 days seems a bit harsh and "see you in 27 days, dumbass" is a lame tombot bite

oh what...so whiney got tempbanned for annoying perry?

man and i was gonna be all pro-mods on this one, i swear

back to the pile

wakafledia (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 3 November 2010 22:01 (fourteen years ago)

The thing that should be taken away from this is that ranting like an insane person about off-topic meta things will get you tempbanned if I come across it.

Spend more time talking about things other than each other and you shouldn't have any problems.

but we luv each other why cant u see

mod, heal thyself

If making fun of rapeyness is a bannable offense, we should all get a time-out for that thread where we ragged on Sublime for singing an anti-rape song.

BROCOLLI RAPE

buzza, Wednesday, 3 November 2010 22:17 (fourteen years ago)

bee rape (nod to aerosmith)

cant believe you sb'd me for that (darraghmac), Wednesday, 3 November 2010 22:19 (fourteen years ago)

Anyway, I think Whiney had probably just had too many circus peanuts or something. Just give him a couple days and he'll cool off.

kkvgz, Wednesday, 3 November 2010 22:23 (fourteen years ago)

a couple of days, lol

omar little, Wednesday, 3 November 2010 22:24 (fourteen years ago)

just give him a couple pills and like 30 years of therapy

ice cr?m, Wednesday, 3 November 2010 22:25 (fourteen years ago)

imo something should be added to the FAQ saying basically "be nice to Dan Perry all the time or be prepared to face the consequences" because that's pretty much how it feels at this point. maybe all the mods stand together on his decisions but usually it feels like it's him taking stuff personal, acting on it, and then usually jjjusten backing him up. nothing against you, dude, you're an A+ poster and as big a part of ILX as anybody but i'm getting Tombot flashbacks.

some dude making a lot of sense, but otoh...

Whiney did not get tempbanned for annoying Perry

cant really argue with this stone cold logic

stfu noob

ice cr?m, Thursday, 4 November 2010 04:12 (fourteen years ago)

Whiney obviously can be a gaping asshole and can be 51'd when he's a general nuisance, as he has been and may be again in the future. but if anything that lowers the impetus for mod intervention, especially a 4-week ban for the kind of thing that iirc usually warrants a couple days in the penalty box. when i talked to him about it he didn't seem particular upset or impatient to get posting privileges back, so i'm not really adamantly protesting on his behalf or anything, but i still think it was pretty clearly a raw deal.

Danble Perritration (some dude), Thursday, 4 November 2010 04:16 (fourteen years ago)

xp uh well fuck you dude

samosa gibreel, Thursday, 4 November 2010 04:24 (fourteen years ago)

People taking the fact that hi dere and I have known each other for a billion years and turning it into evidence #1 for how we are rogue mod cop buddies watching each others back can stfu IMO. Shit is getting old.

O_o-O_0-o_O (jjjusten), Thursday, 4 November 2010 04:25 (fourteen years ago)

its more classic than old

j/k noob jeez

ice cr?m, Thursday, 4 November 2010 04:28 (fourteen years ago)

Like so far my "backing him up" in this instance was clarifying that the 28 day deal was generated by the system just so peeps had transparency on that and all of a sudden I'm gabby Hayes dancing on a saloon table in the background while dan cold guns em down.

am0n, Thursday, 4 November 2010 04:31 (fourteen years ago)

I'm generally fine w/ mod fascism but 'see you in 27 days, dumbass' seems like more of an abuse of power than the actual banning

iatee, Thursday, 4 November 2010 04:32 (fourteen years ago)

i read this whole thread and i still dont really understand why whiney is banned

max, Thursday, 4 November 2010 04:37 (fourteen years ago)

um maybe if u read this one

The fact that peeps still invoke tombot in these threads like you are survivors of some despotic Internet police state is totally fucking pathetic as well btw.

O_o-O_0-o_O (jjjusten), Thursday, 4 November 2010 04:53 (fourteen years ago)

*cowers instinctively*

ice cr?m, Thursday, 4 November 2010 04:54 (fourteen years ago)

from whiney:

I 100% feel like I was temp-banned for annoying Dan Perry and nothing else. I have learned absolutely nothing from this experience and when I return in 27 days, I will continue to post as I always have, even--and especially--if that includes lightly poking fun of the terrible mod decisions of Dan and jjjusten. If they're too thin-skinned to handle that, they can continue temp-banning me and everyone until ILX is the boring cuddle party they so clearly desire.

you guys are going to learn, I think, that I'm the nicest mod you fucking have

miss u, dude

buzza, Thursday, 4 November 2010 04:57 (fourteen years ago)

Also, the two of them are being more mean and meta-snarky on this this thread than ANY of my gags about moving the finest thread. This is a ridiculous double standard. And pathetic. And honestly i'm proud to be banned from any site where moderators can dish it all day out but cannot take it.

the length of these bans is straight ridiculous

J0rdan S., Thursday, 4 November 2010 05:02 (fourteen years ago)

Uh yknow pretty sure nothing I've said on this thread is up to par snarkwise with repeatedly talking about how the mods love rape jokes so whatever dude.

O_o-O_0-o_O (jjjusten), Thursday, 4 November 2010 05:03 (fourteen years ago)

do THE MODS LOVE RAPE JOKES?

ice cr?m, Thursday, 4 November 2010 05:03 (fourteen years ago)

so this is 27 days because that's all the system will allow? what happened to three day temp bans?

J0rdan S., Thursday, 4 November 2010 05:08 (fourteen years ago)

do THE MODS LOVE RAPE JOKES?

no

so this is 27 days because that's all the system will allow? what happened to three day temp bans?

temp bans are automatically made longer by the system each time

Wow jhosh yknow it actually really bums me out that we used to get along on this site but then I became a mod and now you seem to go out of your way to be a dick to me.

O_o-O_0-o_O (jjjusten), Thursday, 4 November 2010 05:10 (fourteen years ago)

oh xp

J0rdan S., Thursday, 4 November 2010 05:10 (fourteen years ago)

jj

1. i do like you and i reget and apologize for any previous excessively feeling hurting behavior, but that was clearly an hilarious text formatting based joke

2. if you dont want people to give you shit re being a mod, just dont be a mod, easy

ice cr?m, Thursday, 4 November 2010 05:15 (fourteen years ago)

anyway imo this is a ridiculous ban but whatever
