"virginity" poll moved to ILTMI?

ILX is on tenterhooks...how long before KBP bans the other 4 people who post to his board? And then prances about, king of the castle style, posting about Adelaide's great sporting teams?

The team I support in Aussie Rules is based in Melbourne, so you are WAY OFF.

People should probably be able to put their icky threads where they like, for the most part, but it's not exactly surprising that we get a run on "lol sex" polls and somebody decides to put them in the special cupboard that was built for them.

this might have more to do with your recent creation of a board for topics of a sexual nature rather than the new crop of moderators.

The board is not called "I Love Sex" but "I Love TMI". It was supposed to be a board for the sort of discussion that many people consider too icky/graphic/personal, not a board for all sex-related threads, no matter how innocent/nonpersonal/nongraphic they are.

Just to make it clear, I have nothing against the mods, and so far there's only been a handful of thread relocations. I'm merely hoping this doesn't become a new policy that covers all sex-related threads.

Well, remember to bump that Phil Hughes thread I started with an appropriate RIP jpg. Because I can't do that for you now.

xp, i think a lot of people consider sex-related threads too icky/graphic/personal. do you see?

You know what Australia needs to do? Take Phil Hughes out, put David Warner in the TEST side. That'll get your kids back to your Test cricket, even more than Roy and buckets of KFC ever could. (xpost)

Well, at the moment there's a thread called "Jeremiah Birthday Sex" in ILM, should that be moved to ILTMI too because it has the word "sex"?

I would assume that people who find all sex threads icky/graphic/personal are wise enough not to read them.

(x-post)

i don't care.

I'm loving this interlocked discussion. I think Australia should put more graphic sex in their Test team as well, would really get the young folks watching, screw yer David Warner or yer Cameron "I used to bowl" White

Really don't want to see Ponting's pasty hobbit-arse heaving up and down in the middle of Edgbaston kthx

"So, Peter, when did you lose your virginity?"

*awkward silence*

tbh all of these sex poll threads are retarded but luckily there are multiple boards on ilx where you can be retarded in one capacity or another. i was going to say i can't believe people are actually discussing whether tmi topics belong on the tmi board, but fuck i'll believe anything these days when it comes to some posters being dense.

Sorry if I missed something, but at what point did simply asking the AGE at which people lost their virginity become "TMI"?

It wasn't a request for details or anything graphic, it was simply asking the age. A reasonable stastic.

ILX is starting to resemble this kind of Mary Whitehouse hell of a 4th grade catholic school classroom where simply mentioning sex in any way results in your being told to go and stand in the corner.

Yes, I do find that really weird.

Now would be the best time for a disgusting graphic jpeg if anybody fancies taking a temp ban for the team.

Personally, I don't much care for sports, but I still don't think all sports thread should be banished to a special "I Love Sports" board.

mods please create I Love Sports board and move this thread there

I *Really* Love Sports If You Get What I Mean

im sure its new ilx mods, headed up by notorious prude dan perry, who are insistent on expunging all sex-related content from ile

The Missionary Position and An empty cigar tube filled with wasps makes a good vibrator. are two of the funniest threads in ILE history. I don't want to post to an ILE without gross-out sex threads.

those threads would have been just as funny and just as memorable if they'd been on TMI vs ILE, though

erm "The Missionary Position" made me far more aroused than amused :-/

can a mod please move this thread to ILTMI?

and restrict LJ to posting on ILTMI?

and destroy ILTMI?

It does seem really weird that the new crop of moderators seems to think that "I love everything" = "I love everything EXCEPT topics of a sexual nature".

heyo stfu

Helpful!

I think there were some crossed lines of communication on TMI threads that (hopefully) have been sorted out.

hose threads would have been just as funny and just as memorable if they'd been on TMI vs ILE, though

I very much doubt it - most sub-boards, including ILTMI, have a fraction of the number of readers and participants of ILE.

i think a lot (most) people use site new answers now, though

I do -- with ILTMI turned off!

Yeah, even if many people use Site New Answers, I'm not sure how many include ILTMI among the subboards that appear on the new answers page.

oh no! those unenlightened folks may miss another boring-ass poll!

LOL. With exciting drama like this, how could you possible call them boring?

hahaha complainers will find ways to complain no matter what

Mods, please force TMI onto New Answers page with animated sundae.jpg jiggling at the top.

when the zing crew weren't allowed decide for everybody else which zings were too zingy, then it's consistent that the TMI crew aren't allowed to decide for everybody else what TMI is too TMI-y.

Guys guys I made it totally explicit, right after I did it, on the thread! Post in question:

Moved to ilTIM bcz of harbl & PP's comments and bcz 'sexually themed threads devolving into psychosexual meltdowns & character assaults' has been a thing lately (unfortunately); if this is a dumb overreaction I can move the classy talk of this exciting thredd back to ILE.

I said why, I offered to move it if it bugged people, what more do you want? Is this a purloined letter – you can't find the answer bcz it's in the most obvious place?

It made sense to me that it IF people thought it was an undue executive decision, that they'd reply to that post and be like 'uh Abbott geez put it back where it was you sillypants.' Or that's what I was thinking. Did not know until other mods pointed it out that this thread (this very one here) existed.

Sorry if I rankled anyone.

i wasn't really bothered by the thread being on ILE other than being sort of annoyed at people starting 10,000 non-interesting polls about sex, but i don't have to read them, i know. on the other hand i think you made the right decision. shows up in my SNA anyway.

tbh i just wanted to see what would happen if another sex thread got moved to TMI. psychosexual meltdowns and character assaults are great fun

Abbott, I read your explanation and it's perfectly fine, but since several other sex-related threads were moved from ILE to ILTMI within the last few days, it seemed like there's a new mod policy going on, and that's what we're discussing here. No way am I accusing you or any other specific mod, just asking if there indeed is a new policy, and whether such a policy would make in sense. But based on Dan's comment upthread there doesn't seem to be any policy and sex threads can still be posted to ILE, or am I wrong?

oh you're wrong

believe me

tuomas it's not like we're prudes and don't want to read threads about how many times people have tasted their own masturbation, it's just that we don't want to read them on ILE, or anywhere else. thanks.

i mean who cares where you post your threads about sex and liquids, just post them on i love tmi, that's why you have that ENTIRE board, right?

could it be it's not the sexual content per se but that the threads/questions are just kind of......TMI. like stuff that's not particularly substantive. xp.

xp but then ppl won't get to exercise a weird sense of entitlement where they want their stupid threads to be seen by the maximum possible number of posters!

the only people who won't see it are people who purposely take TMI out of site new answers, who probably wouldn't vote in the poll to begin with, even if it was on ILE. consider that.

This is much ado about nothing.

There is no specific policy regarding sex threads and where they "belong". Everyone's threshold for TMI is different so there will always be argument about whether a thread should have been started there or or not if it is the least bit personal/controversial. I think Abbott's reasoning is rational; it doesn't mark a new moderation policy or a new trend in moderator action.

If people are okay with it, I'd like to lock this thread now; it seems to be moving rapidly towards circular repetition of the same points counterpointed with sniping and I would like to not have that.

(okay so maybe I'm too late on the sniping front)

Be happy you didn't get temp-banned.

Hope you're happy that that was your last ILTMI post.

make it hidden invite-only already

looks like it wasnt his last tmi post

Keep it up and you'll lose IMP! access as well.

Why? No one's forcing anyone to read the threads, and since they're on board called "I Love TMI", their content should come as no shock to anyone.

(x-post to Dr. Phil)

Tumoas, he's being a dick for absolutely no reason. He is trolling for responses. Stop encouraging him.

Ok. Thanks for banning him from ILTMI.
