An open letter to ILX & mods re: an alternative to the current system

stet, did you get my email?

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

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".

cant believe mods banned all those people

why did you do it mods?

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.

otm to that

^^

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?

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

Avatars are terrible.

booooooooooooooooooooooooo

http://i51.tinypic.com/2holgm1.jpg yeah, no avatars

I will send twice as much money as aerosmith if it means avatars

(btw I'm having a hard time getting over how just how cool that camel is)

http://i51.tinypic.com/2holgm1.jpg :-D

http://i26.tinypic.com/2z4zig2.gif whats up guys just readin ilx

lol

like I look at other forums and I think, hey, I could maybe hang here -- oh wait you have avatars, you suck balls, fuck this place

sb'd you for irrational hatred of camels

*coff*facebook*coff*

guys, display names = our avatars

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

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

Oh boy, words... *makes jerk off motion*

text is awesome & clean

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

yeah i agree

ilx future

also ilx looks like you're working, from a distance.

"avatars become a walk through Shinjuku at night in about thirty seconds"

Sounds like a delightful journey of sight and sound, a treat for all the senses

working on craigslist

but i make gifs for a living

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:

Stet's is the only reason I think it's good not to have them tbh.
