k3v and j0rd don't honestly care about the post in question or about morbs, they're just using it as a wedge to fuck with the moderators
it is a fucked-up exercise better left ignored
― mookieproof, Saturday, 20 October 2012 04:25 (eleven years ago) link
sad truth, i did check my phone in the bathroom between courses actually and weighed in on the mod discussion board that this was bannable btw. just fyi, we are trying to make these mod calls more collective, so sometimes when things take a while, its because there is a discussion towards consensus on the mod discussion forum.

uh, no, mookie, i actually do care a lot about morbs and think that amateurist post is probably the worst thing i've ever read on ilx. i understand why morbs decided to let it lie but i think a big deal needs to be made about it & how the mods did or did not react to it. i don't waste my time trolling the mods.

the post is nightmarish, but you have fashioned it into a passive-aggressive tool for bullshit.
start a thread asking for that post to be removed. start a thread saying 'this post is awful'. start a thread called 'ban amateurist'. instead you used it to attack the process.
not that the process is inviolable, but your priorities are fucked up

well i was a bit pissed that it had been 5 hours and nothing had been done about something that was incredibly gross & plainly bannable
― lil dirk (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 20 October 2012 04:39 (eleven years ago) link
anyway john's explanation is valid & amateurist is banned now so it's all water under the bridge as far as i'm concerned
sadly luna does not exist in the database, so no symbolic banning, sorry yall

alright whatever
i was appalled at that post amateurist made to morbs, i think that was clear. i flagged the post, which iirc i've never done before. a thread was started criticizing mod inaction on the subject and i (truly) agreed with its literal implications but also didn't mind its longer-running anti-mod roots. i admit the latter was childish, though i don't think it reflects at all on my position wrt the situation itself. i regret the implication i 100% brought on myself and somewhat resent what mooks and wmc said regarding this

kev how many times have you had to backtrack and apologise to mods after unfairly criticising them? I'm guessing it's running into dozens now. You should maybe take that into account before adopting the usual injured innocence imo.
ps give me the privileges, i guarantee you won't have to wait five hours for some tasty ban action.

I've said on many occasions to many people that we, as a species, are still several decades off the emotional, spiritual, cultural and social evolutionary steps necessary for us to really comprehend and communicate via and use the full potential of the Internet. If I were to ever write a thesis on this idea, ILX would totally be my primary case-study. Bronies would be my secondary. Those awful 15-year-old boys on twitter who make rape jokes and post picture of their abs would be my tertiary.

can we assume J0rd has spent a) more or b) less than 5 hours putting together a list of every time Morbz has called for another poster's death or multiple posters' deaths, so that the mods can add up all of those and give him three days for every instance?

basically I am in favor of being sensitive and empathetic to the variety of issues affecting other ilxors, but ILX should not have a zero-tolerance policy for gallows humor

(Incoherent; trying again)I agree, but it's kind of a moot point inasmuch as a zero-tolerance policy for gallows humor isn't a thing.

short posting history warrants 3-day temp ban, end of story imo. private yellow card would be good for a regular?
on the other thread stet mentioned changing the admin log so it no longer says "permanently" for all bans, I think this is a good idea.
random thought: can't mods now edit objectionable posts to make the text hidden?

i've luckily never struggled with depression, but i have many friends and family members who have. ilx has documented at least one suicide attempt and plenty of suicidal ideation. there is a way to do gallows humor without crossing a line which should be pretty obvious to most intelligent people.

if you flag post on one thread and then flag the same poster for another post on a different thread, does that count as two flags or just one?
