I should point out that there IS no autoban for Suggest Bans, fwiw.

― Matt DC, Monday, November 22, 2010 5:12 AM (Yesterday)

you and a couple other mods have made this point, but i just think it's functionally untrue. has there been a time where a poster has accrued 51 SBs and mods have made the decision not to ban them for 30 days?

i mean yeah technically it's subject to mod review or whatever but if someone gets 51'd they're getting a ban - it's a given

overtheseas aeroplanes I have flown (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 23 November 2010 21:15 (fourteen years ago)

The point being made is that people are acting like software is booting them off of the site when what is happening is that mods are going back over posts that have accrued suggest bans and going "oh I see what was happening here, see you in 30".

sorry caek, got it now (forwarding had stopped on that a/c). Will sort that out for you.

To clarify that upthread a bit though: while we are totally up for help w/code, it obv doesn't mean we'd take anything that's submitted. So if you change the SB text to stfu or someone goes to huge lengths to write in avatar support that's still no guarantee it'd go into production.

I for one would go all Nth Korea on ilx if it became riddled with avatars.

well to be fair, people that get their second sb are supposed to be gone for three months or w/e but i don't think that actually happens

oh sure. i basically just want to look for security holes that i can exploit on bank holiday weekends when you are offline.

avatars! avatars! avatars!

please?

ENBB, Tuesday, 23 November 2010 22:58 (fourteen years ago)

I will personally do whatever it takes, including send mods money, to not have avatars.

Avatars are terrible.

guys, display names = our avatars

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 23 November 2010 23:31 (fourteen years ago)

also if you want the lols of posting an image just bump the 'if ilx had avatars' thread

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 23 November 2010 23:31 (fourteen years ago)

I don't understand that POV at all. Avatars make the messageboarding experience more lively and fun for everyone. Signatures are a different matter, but avs uber alles imo

avatars become a walk through Shinjuku at night in about thirty seconds and make every page an eyesore

I think you guys just haven't been on a board with GOOD avatars. I'm sure everyone on here would just have pics of their favorite dumb band or some crap. This would be my signature image on here btw:
