quick question about bannings

In all sincerity k3v, fuck off.

haha k w/evs

k3vin k. w/evs

oh i'm sure you'd make a great mod k3v

forks is a good mod too imo, not sure who the other ones are aside from jjjusten but i think they're doing a pretty fine job these days

Mods why didn't u "minority report" Luna back in '02, really dropped the ball there IMO.

the ball wasn't red

Frankly, I don't think any of the mods do enough to justify the amount of money they get paiOH WATE

They must do it for the unparalleled pleasure of it.

This strikes me as such an obviously bannable offence that the very question is a no-brainer. If people are going to pull shit like this on a Friday night you can't really blame ~mod culture~ for the fact that no one was around to see it.

Honestly I can't see any reason for continuing to stir this up.

I like flopson's better. grood jorb.

Trying to remember...yeah, that must've been the reason.

i'm switzerland on this shit but seriously jjj responds to every post about modding as if he is the only mod or the locutus of mod or something. if he IS the unofficial mouthpiece of the mods y'all need a press secretary who doesn't seem constantly enraged by even having to respond and if he isn't obliged to respond maybe he shouldn't?

fun sub-board!

I think what happened here was that there simply weren't enough mods present at the time of the comment - with their ranks thinned by one more, the problem is only going to be exacerbated from now on. the obvious answer is that we need more mods. I nominate some dude.

"with their ranks thinned by one more"

kinda hard at first to know who to root for when your crazy cousin in the basement verbally attacks your crazy uncle in the attic, but i guess i'll go with uncle morbz. amz is a pill. i mean they both are...oh i don't know...see what i mean???

and i flagged someone (for only the 2nd time) last week or whenever for aomething not as bad in theory.

tldr - i resent d-mac's implication that i agree with mods more lately :)

rotating randomly nominated mods, full decision-making autonomy for the duration of their stewardship, thrown back to the mercy of the masses upon cessation of same.

Can I just go on record as saying (if my hilarious posts itt haven't effectively done the job already) that anyone who complains about the mods being really slow or ineffective (at performing the thankless, non-paying ILX tasks which take them away from, like, their real lives) is being really effing petty.

we don't have the owrst mods in the world, we don't have the worst backlash against mods in the world, ilx as a board is gonna have the anti-authoritarian streak present and correct after any mod action.

tho tbf it's a change to have them turn up early and have to wait for the protest to begin

Trying to remember...yeah, that must've been the reason.

I respect your valiant service, sir

Me too. Sorry to hear you've hung up the modhat Rock but I dont blame you,frankly.

with all due respect, suck my cock you dumb asshole.

hugglez!!

ok i should probably clarify that erudite point.

i respond to stuff because my #1 reason for taking on modding is that i felt that as an ilx user, clear and transparent descriptions of what was happening and why it was happening wrt mod decisions were a key aspect of this community. tbf as a dude that was a total pain in the ass about why ilx should not require registration (since have realized i was wrong abt that) i was kinda shocked to get asked to mod. so my basic tenets as mod have been 1)explain what is/isn't happening and why and 2)not become a cipher as a poster, because if i have to self-edit and be nicey nice when shit is stupid, i stop being an ilx participant. I make great pains to be clear abt when i am speaking as MOD and when I am speaking as me, and when I am speaking as me as mod, so catching shit about not being above the fray and keeping some sorta mod decorum when peeps are howling for my head is just not a thing i am going to do. i dont really get the point of some dude coming in here after j0rdan and k3v and i had all worked out our shit and the situation had worked itself out already, but hey, whatever makes your saturday night i guess.

hahaha

did someone chum the water here this week or something?

jjj i see where you're coming from as far as not wantimg to be a cipher and keep the lines of communication open and all that. but y'know, hulking out over a question about you always hulking out, alright, jeez. i just felt like saying something because when someone asks why none of the many mods were on top of an issue and you take it all personal and I WAS AT A WEDDING GET OFF MY BACK, that's a pretty crazy response even given that the thread was not very friendly to begin with.

like handing out tix at the Indy 500, eh.

shorter version: "Even though I have nothing of substance to offer on the current situation, I think I'll slide a little bamboo under the fingernail of one of the mods purely on a matter of posting style." For the record, it was the cumulative effect of this sort of stuff that made me decide to hang it up. It builds to a point where a mod's stomach lining says "either you go or I go, pal."

I'm sorry you had to quit, Wm

same wmc. one mod less is a victory for the usuals. arm the police imo.

Time to enact modtial law.

why did wmc quit modding?

oh i didn't read his post, lol

this is not a good development imo

always been in favor of rotating mods but i don't think we have enough mentally stable volunteers to do it.

WHAAAAAT U SAAAAY I WILL MOD U AND BAN U

sorry sorry, crying and so sweaty now

this is not a good development imo

good job k3v

in front of mod & everybody

can we vote on a new mod to replace him w/ a ballot poll, or, preferably a knockout tournament poll?

hahahaaa

''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''

this is obviously untrue and i'm surprised somebody who reads the boards as much as, and is as sensible as, wmc agreed with it.

My m.o. for the last few years has been to leave most of my opinions unexpressed.

(unexpressed: please die now)

ehh i never remember you getting much of a hard time about being a mod, probably because of said unexpressed opinions? basically i'm needling jjj on the same tip i used to needle tombot and djp: "you seem to either really hate being a mod, or enjoy it for weird reasons, either way maybe you don't need to keep doing this?". sorry if it was tacky to pile on itt but it's not like there's ever a 'good time' to say these things where mods are like oh good it's complaint box day, let us have it!
