really imago, i have no idea what you're advising me to do, except obv participating in any thread about a non-hobbyist topic is a grave mistake. I will probably keep making it; I am an old, undesirable man with a boring job.

In this particular case, Matt P blew up from a non-incendiary post by Aimless.

i wouldn't but there don't seem to be any female posters making arguments aimless & morbs were making? matt's was an extremely unchill post but i understand his frustration with the tone & way in which they were talking about it. tbf aimless posts the same way about everything so it's not exactly a huge transgression that he made an analogy b/w rape culture and laws in ancient athens, taken in the context of his, like, 19th century social theorist persona.

The thing is that the Blairites are probably right about the South of England. Where they are completely wrong is in Scotland and parts of deindustrialised England, and it's apparent they don't know how to cope. Miliband might have attracted back a bit of core vote, but share of the vote means little under FPTP. Labour's share of the vote actually went up a little bit and they still did worse than in 2010. I doubt that the SNP will be exactly desperate to get rid of FTPT at Westminster either, given it's effectively granted them a one-party state.

The problem with the "core vote" is that it's unevenly distributed and quite a bit of it is drifting towards UKIP. I suspect that a lot of the core vote (in England) will, in five years' time, be so desperate to get rid of the Tories that they will vote for any old shit if it's wearing a red rosette. The exception is the voter base who lean left on economic issues and hard to the right on social issues, and that's very difficult territory for Labour.

Let's not forget that Miliband positioned himself significantly to the right of Blair on issues like welfare and immigration, and that strategy comprehensively failed.

All of this only holds if you think the only thing that matters is that the red team beats the blue team at the end.

These fucks haven't even begun to absorb or comprehend what has actually happened before falling back on whatever their one entrenched position happens to be. Calling for more Blairism at this point is the equivalent of bombing out of a World Cup in the group stages and then immediately calling for a team built around Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard. It's evident from that Chuka Umunna piece that he has no answer to what happened in Scotland (and doesn't want to look too closely in case it leads him to a conclusion he doesn't like).

Jarvis looks at surface level to be meant to appeal to the UKIP/white van man vote, but I'm not sure that vote is big enough to swing seats in the right areas, and UKIP support may collapse anyway without Farage at the helm and with an EU referendum in this Parliament.

I have no idea who Andy Burnham is meant to appeal to.

^^^ That is definitely going to be the big theme of the next Parliament, Cameron will have to give his MPs free reign on that issue, they'll destroy him if he doesn't.

The Tories have made a lot of contradictory pledges on tax, spending and borrowing, in anticipation of having to water them down in minority/coalition government. Not sure how they're going to deal with that with a majority.

I wonder what the threshold is. 50 posts in under 10 minutes is pretty extreme even for wins, but I feel like I've probably come close to the tipping point at times, and I wouldn't want to end up getting tempbanned for a particularly fruitful series of ox gallstone posts. c&p'ing dumbshit from around the web is a noble tradition without which ilx would be a wasteland of original thoughts, so maybe the mods should loosen the parameters a little or make exceptions for certain exemplary posters.

On March 27 1995, a man who made a bet with his friends sneaked into the lion’s den. The man stroked Chucha, the lioness, who did not react, but Marjan attacked the man and killed him within minutes. The following day, the man’s brother came and threw 3 hand grenades into the lion’s den, seriously injuring Marjan. His eyes had to be removed by MDM, a PSF (Pharmaciens Sans Frontières) Logistics Officer who first called for help, MSF doctors and an Italian photojournalist, thus rendering him blind, deaf, and permanently disabled. Despite several operations, neither Marjan’s eyesight nor his mouth could be saved.[1] He lost all of his teeth, making it impossible for him to eat boned meat. A ramp was also built for him to get back into his den, as he was seen falling a few times while trying to make it back inside. The incident sparked outrage with animal rights activists, local and abroad. The man who threw the grenade was violently attacked a week later, and died of injuries.

Basically everything about the NFL and NCAA football is absolutely, horribly fucked up and just about irredeemable to me at this point. To fix all the shit that I can't stand about it, the sport would likely become unrecognizable from the carrion-sucking cultural remora that it is today. So don't bother!

I happened to go down some random Internet hole this past June and got my interest piqued by League of Legends pro games - mostly because I had no idea what anybody was even SAYING, and opaque jargon fascinates me - I had to go look up about every fourth word in whatever article I was reading, which led to this whole cascade of browser tabs and no matter how much I educated myself via poorly-curated wikia sites and corporate lore pages, on some level, still none of it made any actual sense. This is kind of how I figured out that this was actually a sport. At some point there's a floor where explanation stops. It's a game! People play it! Other people, who are really good, get paid to play it! And there are losers, winners, coaches, owners, sponsors, and even dickheads and cheaters and penalties and people who fucking FAKE INJURIES so they can kill their contract and get traded to a better team. That, people, is a pursuit you can waste some ungodly amount of time paying undue attention to.

I'm done with football, even if Chip Kelly somehow pulls some kind of Kuhn-class paradigm shift out of his ass this season. It's all horrible.

12k people paid for tickets to MSG and watched the North American League of Legends finals LIVE, never you mind however many million watched online, the numbers keep thrashing other pro "actual" sports apparently - that number will not go down. The Dota 2 International was so big my bosses' boss, a retired brigadier general, was talking about the week afterward to anybody that would listen. He doesn't even play. He was just stoked that he got to root for the winners (children are the future, long story, etc). These leagues are only 4-5 years old.

This shit is just as fun to watch as any other professional team game I've paid a moment's attention to in my life. Similarly, it's largely unnecessary to understand everything that's going on in order to enjoy the game. The players get paid. Their injuries, and they do get them (shoulder, arm, neck, wrist, mostly RSI, as far as I can tell) are recoverable with physiotherapy and rest. The collegiate players (yes) get to take home their tournament shares. The work, effort, and observably sublime "these people are not like you and me" skills are real. The teams and their leagues aren't completely given over to cronyism yet. The "casting" - especially for League - is just as good as you'd get watching any other pro sport, probably better in many cases. Lastly, I found a couple of nascent sabermetrics geek communities where people are already trying to figure out what the VORP / DYAR etc is for these games. It's all there!!! minus dan snyder and permanent brain damage and "student-athletes." OK, there's no player's union yet, although that hasn't exactly improved the sports where such a thing exists, and certainly hasn't crippled the ones where it doesn't.

This is a thread for asking me how you too can get excited about how complicated computer games played by people who call themselves things like "ZionSpartan" and "LemonNation" are going to eclipse complicated shoving contests played by people who call themselves "r3dsk1ns."

I suppose you could argue that the Age UK angle makes this year's JL *slightly* more newsworthy in its own right, but there's something particularly grim about leveraging people's rational fears about old age and loneliness and using them to sell a load of shit, especially in the current political climate, even if you are giving some of the cash to charity at the end of it. And that's even the case with a cuddly mutual like John Lewis of which I essentially approve. It certainly shouldn't be covered uncritically.

Ultimately the desire to manipulate people into buying shit is what's kept non-BBC journalists in work for generations. The primary function of the NME has always been to make money for IPC by selling access to people who are into music. People don't like this stuff being laid bare (cf that Conde Nast statement the other month), but from the NME's heyday through to the advent of the internet the two sides were able to rub along well enough because there was self-evidently a market for music writing (plus the news and the gig guide and other actually useful things). Now there are apps and services that fulfil the utilitarian aspect better, and there isn't really any reason for good music writing to exist within "the market" any more. The result is you end up with crap like that Windows article propping up a magazine that there would no longer be any reason to invent if it didn't already exist. And all the time the NME were sitting around wondering how to make digital advertising pay and how much advertorial they could sell to Microsoft, someone else went and invented Songkick and completely ate up a space they could have owned.

This album is absolutely incredible on headphones, there's so much detail lurking in there even among the minimal arpeggiated Snooze For Love one.

What this reminds me of more than anything is a Hatchback album, that sense of something beautiful unfolding very slowly and just luxuriating in it throughout. I like it a lot more than his more dancefloor oriented singles because his slightly wonky approach to rhythm works much better in this context.

Penalties[edit]
Common penalties for losing or violating a jinx are a pinch, poke, or punch in the arm.[citation needed]
An alternate penalty is that the loser owes the winner (that is, the person who called jinx)[clarification needed] "a Coke". Victory is often announced when the jinxed person speaks out of turn and the winner yells enthusiastically, "Pinch, poke, you owe me a Coke!" Another common saying is "Jinx you owe me a soda!"[citation needed]

It was a mildly transphobic joke on the Anohni thread. It got a number of fps and people were starting to complain about it on the thread. I honestly thought it was worse in terms of joke-formation than offensiveness, but it's really not my place to say.

the majority of poll options could literally have come from any thread on ilm and yet the post "I got eastre stuck in my head and it was driving me crazy" was ignored

not a complaint, this only adds to the value of the thread

How does a No Confidence work? Cameron doesn't have a big enough majority to be able to cope with 50+ Tory MPs voting against him. His only hope would be that the other parties who campaigned for Remain choose to support him, and good luck with that.

I suppose there is the possibility that he could scrape home with the support of some Unionists and enough Blairite MPs hoping to provoke all-out war in their own party, but the consequences of being helped over the line by the opposition would be so humiliating to Cameron that he would be hugely diminished for the rest of his tenure.

na (NA), Thursday, 13 October 2016 19:11 (seven years ago) link

It was a long accumulation. There have been recent FPs, but nothing in particular pushed him over the edge. He has said some horrible shit multiple times in the last 6 months, many of those posts earning him multiple FPs. Looking at some of the things he's said, we probably should have banned him sooner.

I reckon it is rare to find someone as well read as Richard Spencer and with his high level of education bringing in all sorts of ideas. He spoke no lies in that video. But there is no doubt in my mind it was done to spread more left wing lies. There ain't no arguments in that video. No siree Bob. Just running their yappers.

i skimmed the thread and even his "pro" 1975 posts were relentlessly trolly and designed to make the conversation revolve around his insults directed at the band's lead singer and/or posters who persisted in liking their earlier music. ime he's made a few good or interesting points about bands i like but that's buried in a lot of smiley-faced trolling that never gave any kind of respect or credence to the existing discussion or discussants, and a lot of insulting condescension where anybody who called out the above was a whiny baby who couldn't handle his hot takes. it would have been cool if he'd taken any of it to heart and tried to be a better poster, but he didn't, and i can't say it's a bad thing for ILM if he's gone.

Turrican will be welcome back after 30 days. It's his first ban.

As wins pointed out, JB logs in every few months to lamely troll, including some very noxious accusations at other posters. Each time he did, he would receive a ton of FPs, but not enough to earn him a 51 before the 6 month time period ran out. This time I was getting ready to delete a batch of his old FPs again and thought about this playing out over and over. It's one of those things where we probably should have banned him long ago over a single instance of assholery that drew a lot of FPs but it kept slipping by us for some reason.

"permanently" is what System says when a ban is issued, the mod has evidently made a note immediately afterward

calz was recently crowing about various ilx0rs being made unemployed and saying it should be a permanent situation, and has rarely seemed to hold back one-on-one - was it world leaders or regular people that were being imagined stabbed in this instance?

obv I'm curious too, but I don't reckon mods owe us anything, and it's not hard to imagine calzine rhetoric being deemed "heated" in any given exchange. his baseline is splenetic enough when you agree with his principles or specifics and are familiar enough to know he means well - imagine just wandering into a thread when he's in full flight

Scampidocio (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 10 August 2020 09:31 (three years ago) link

I think there's a cultural divide here, like Calz is an overexcitable slightly autistic dude engaging in the specifically Northern British cultural comedic practice of 'over-swearing'. He's like the Mr Agreeable of UK Politics and I think UK people recognise that he's using ILX as a one-man Punch and Judy show of hitting policemen over the head with their own truncheons or strings of sausages or whatever is to hand.

I have seen people push back at him multiple times over the years, including myself, and told him to knock it off, and he has almost universally come back and apologised when he realises the over-swearing has gone over the line.

He is sweary, yes, in the way that British comedy is often very sweary. But he is not one of the abusive posters of ILX, not by a long shot.

I think UK people recognise that he's using ILX as a one-man Punch and Judy show of hitting policemen over the head with their own truncheons or strings of sausages or whatever is to hand.

Punch no longer beats up his wife, even that kind of humour is changing. In the world where Jo Cox gets murdered by an internet hardman I'm just not that interested in this being a place where people can post graphically their dreams about the murder of left-wing (or any wing!) politicians.

We've been dealing with that for a while by just editing Calz posts, because we also get everything else you're saying. But he continues to get FPs and while I don't know exactly which post trigged this timeout, I'm going to give the mods the benefit of the doubt and assume it crossed even those extended lines he's been given.

I have seen people push back at him multiple times over the years

This is not a good defence, imo. "You should be strong enough to take it and strong enough to shout back at these people if you don't like it" is a pretty terrible way to foster an inclusive forum. Sure, some people will shout back. More will just leave, quietly.

FWIW it was me who edited the post and it contained a specific reference to stabbing a prominent UK politician in a way that was substantively different to most of what he posts - and I generally agree with Branwell's viewpoint. Another mod felt like more was required and dropped a temp ban and I respect that decision.

The post was substantively different to calling the guy a dick or celebrating a job loss usual ILX sweariness or venting - if I thought Calzino was genuinely harbouring violent death fantasies he wouldn't be coming back, that goes without saying, I think he just took is usual thing a bit too far. But in the current climate that sort of thing is unacceptable here. It bears repeating this isn't a permanent ban and more of the kind of warning that people were requesting - "here's the line, don't cross it again". It will be lifted in two days.

Matt DC, Monday, 10 August 2020 12:52 (three years ago) link

Hi, I made the call to ban calzino for three days if people want to shout at me. I have literally no history with the dude and know nothing about his personal life at all. In another thread Matt said "I'm aware he's got a lot of offboard shit going on", well, I'm not, I have no idea. Does that matter? What I do have an idea of is that repeatedly posting death threats and really gross sexual imagery is something that's not OK, and fuck having that on the boards. I'm honestly surprised at some of the people defending this behaviour, and obviously there are personal relationships behind the scenes that I'm unaware, but it strikes me as pretty hypocritical coming from some of you.

pomenitul, Monday, 10 August 2020 13:45 (three years ago) link

I've taken your prompt to delete that post b/c it's a lot of highly personal information to post about another user even if they have posted it themselves in the past (there was a lot I didn't know in there). Deleted posts are still visible to mods so if Emily hasn't read it yet she'll still be able to, and ultimately it was addressed to her.

Matt DC, Monday, 10 August 2020 13:51 (three years ago) link

OK, sure. It was a long time ago, and a lot of people have clearly forgotten. But sometimes people's rage is genuinely justified, and if they have only one place and one way of processing that rage...

Branwell with an N, Monday, 10 August 2020 13:53 (three years ago) link

To Branwell: That is fucking heavy, and does add context, thank you. I was going to say that the ban is due to be lifted tomorrow so calzino could choose whether it should be deleted or not, but I think Matt's call is probably a good one. I maintain that the behaviour warrants a temp ban, though. I realise that there is an issue with how to moderate consistently in a culture where some aggressive posters are much-beloved, but personally I want to see a move to these smaller time-outs to try to make things less fucked-up, not more.

emil.y, Monday, 10 August 2020 13:55 (three years ago) link

I think ultimately, regardless of context, it's bad form to post anything that might be construed as a physical threat against a public figure if for no other reason than it makes ILX and those who run ILX a potential target for scrutiny or worse.

OK, this is difficult for me to talk about, but I have experience in this area.

In 1996 someone using my Internet login (not me) made direct threats against a United States politician. There were serious and long-lasting personal consequences to me from that act.

I understand having certain feelings about the people in power now. I have fairly strong feelings about it myself. I am extremely careful about how I express those feelings on the public Internet.

hoping a horrible and dangerous public figure dies is different from describing fantasies of how you'd personally like to kill them. both in terms of tone/vibe "in the room," and what kind of negative attention it could attract.

Simply put: this is a shared space run by people other than myself, so I'm going to avoid putting those other people in a position where they may be liable for something inflammatory that I've written. Again, if you're creative, you can say what you want to say without actually saying the thing ('please pass away peacefully in your sleep this evening' is, for instance, a workable alternative in this particular instance, I find).

Why does this relates to Yoda? (Old Lunch), Monday, 10 August 2020 16:39 (three years ago) link

I hate to say it but the only reason I mentioned the wood chipper thing at all - wood chippers are not common in the UK - is because I remember reading someone on ILX talking about Trump being fed into a wood chipper and I remember thinking, "That's a bit strong". I think it was before violent fantasies about Trump became so commonplace on ILX so I was a bit taken aback by it and, on searching for the quote in question... well, can you guess who posted it?

Young Boys of Bernie (Tom D.), Monday, 10 August 2020 16:42 (three years ago) link

I have to say that I had never before seen an ILX post in which someone has said 'I would stab X public figure with a knife'. As mentioned before I don't believe it was a genuine death threat, I have no animosity towards Calz as a poster at all, I think he was just ranting as he usually does and went over a line. It wasn't a death threat but it could have been taken as one by someone not familiar with the ins and outs of these boards and as a result it obviously couldn't stay where it was.

It was on the thread in question for three or four minutes max and I'm not sure anyone else here read it because the other examples being given here just aren't comparing like for like.

In the US, at least, "wishing" a public figure was dead is protected speech. There's case law behind this, where if it's worded like "God, I wish he'd stroke out and die already", it's understood that this isn't a threat. Whereas "Would be a shame if someone shot you, <name>" could be considered a threat even if it's worded in the hypothetical.

saying "I would stab X public figure with a knife" would be likely to get you a visit from the FBI here, on the other hand. Obviously, I don't know how it works in the UK, but for the snark regarding the difference between the two upthread, there is actually a very big difference between the two statements, legally speaking, in the US.

for instance, a draft dodger once infamously said "They always holler at us to get an education. And now I have already received my draft classification as 1-A and I have got to report for my physical this Monday coming. I am not going. If they ever make me carry a rifle the first man I want to get in my sights is L. B. J.". He was arrested, but the Supreme Court upheld that this was political hyperbole, not an actual threat.

Whereas the mailing of letters by one gentleman, containing the words "kill Reagan" and depicting the president's bleeding head impaled on a stake, was considered a serious threat.

so US-centric posters have that in the back of their minds when reading things like that.

"So Calz was gulag'd because a mod for some reason felt an example needed to be set, and chose to build the gulag out of completely random and dime a dozen calz-banter posts. Stern stuff." - LBI otm.

This is such execrable moderation and the goalposts have been moved around so much within this thread it's hard to take the moderators seriously or in good faith. Calz says he's received no explanation or email and there is clearly no consensus on why he has been banned. emil.y says there have been 'repeated death threats', Matt disagrees and says "he was just ranting as he usually does and went over a line. It wasn't a death threat but it could have been taken as one by someone not familiar with the ins and outs of these boards" (which apparently includes some of the people moderating it). Perhaps it's that posting a photo of a mural with a woman's breasts either sides of Corbz's bonce that has been posted several times before and received p widespread coverage in the mnstrm media now counts as "gross sexual imagery"? The man himself suspected that at least one moderator has been bearing a grudge for a long time. It's hard not to think there is political animus behind this when this banning is such a pure example of weathervane centrist posturing to reinforce polite and sensible manners. No one thinks calzino is comparable to Thomas Mair (not really an 'acceptable' thing to imply about another poster either really but anyway) so bringing up the murder of Jo Cox is an absurd bit of moral panic and lends weight to the thought that his banning is an act of empty gesture politics and optics disingenuously employed to make an example out of a political opponent in a manner worthy of Sir Keir Rodney Starmer KCB QC MP. The alleged silent meltjority of ilx has been unwilling or unable to contest calzino's politics but you occasionally hear grumbling about tankies or people tutting at the mention of gulags, and yet here we see calzino banished to the naughty step without consensus, coherent explanation or show trial. As long as an unrepresentative and unelected group of south-east chattering class enforcers can convince themselves that their opponents are unreasonable and "really not ok" in whatever climate they feel they might be living in, who are we to object when they make an example out of them?

Calz says he's received no explanation or email and there is clearly no consensus on why he has been banned.

This is really seriously not OK. If you are going to punish people, you *have* to tell them what you are punishing them for, how and why. Otherwise it's arbitrary and unreasonable and effectively just social shunning.

That goes double if the person is anywhere near the spectrum, and you're just expecting them to somehow ~intuit~ from being banned, what they were banned for, especially when other people are doing the same thing.

I was suggest banned under the old system, during a particularly shit time in my life, with no explanation or context *ever* provided, and I'll be honest - it nearly drove me to suicide. (I can distinctly remember Matt DC calling my work, to make sure I was still alive.) DO NOT DO THIS SHIT TO OTHERS. It is so not OK.

ok, i have no wish to join a mod pile-on - i, too, think that the mods have the right to moderate the board however they see fit. that said, it is clear that this specific use of mod power has caused widespread user dissatisfaction, and think it would be good if experiences like this were mitigated or minimized to the greatest extent possible. i do agree with idea that it would be good to be more transparency around banning, particularly to the person being banned (since as has been pointed out being banned from this board can be a highly unpleasant experience) but also to the board in general. the whole moderation infrastructure comes across to me as maybe a little kludge-y? for instance, every ban issued coming across as a permaban because the tempban feature is broken. that's not really good for transparency, i don't think.

I brought up internet hardman Thomas Mair to explain why those kinds of posts (specific death threat-y posts against politicians) aren't ones I'm personally comfortable with here (to the extent I ever was). Didn't intend to imply he was like Mair, don't think I did, either. If you think I implied he was an internet hardman, well he's not coming down off cuddlestein mountain, is he? He was described by a friend as using ILX as his only place to "rage", like.

I'm pretty certain ogmor's talking about me in terms of grudge, but that doesn't stand up for me – the most I've done is edit out a death threat from his posts in the past (possibly two), and can't remember ever otherwise modding him. I didn't ban him or suggest it, but I did know about it ahead of it. It's trying to avoid how I get on with him as poster interfering with mod decisions that made me edit him in the first place rather than anything stronger.

You didn't have to bring up Thomas Mair at all, and what you personally find uncomfortable is neither here nor there if you weren't the one who banned him. You explicitly linked calzino to Thomas Mair by inventing the fact that Mair was an internet hardman - like calzino, in your opinion.

Young Boys of Bernie (Tom D.), Monday, 10 August 2020 20:16 (three years ago) link

Got no issue w/ ppl finding calzino's posts wearying and/or taking umbrage w/ his style, but given there's still no clarity regarding what calz is being temp banned for it's hard not to think this has got into the vague "bad vibe" territory where personal dislike (and differences in circs, politics, culture etc.) are more likely to become a factor. We've had mods saying there was a death threat, that there wasn't a death threat but that it went over some sort of line, and now that some of his posts are "death threat-y". Doesn't really fill me with confidence and this attempt to send someone to the naughty step will result in nothing more than more bad feeling and distrust, so it seems counterproductive whatever the motive.

dark insinuations that is is part of a larger conspiracy to repress the left

what do you mean "dark" and how is saying a moderator's dislike of someone and how they express their politics might be a factor in them signing-off on their banning for nebulous reasons of offence equivalent to belief it's "part of a larger conspiracy to repress the left"? this is drivel, I'm done.

So, aside from "I love drama and will stoke the flames of it regardless of who it hurts" and "my friends should be able to do whatever they want", there seem to be two major points raised here.

1. Inconsistency of moderation

Pretty much the main reason moderation on ilx can be inconsistent is because this happens whenever someone moderates in a way that would be normal on most reasonable boards. Pile-ons and bullying and ridiculing that force people to quit (or leave ilx forever, or self-harm, or try to commit suicide). Repeatedly posting violent shit isn't funny banter, it's traumatising. Posting misogynist images isn't edgy, it's toxic. Those things shouldn't be controversial. For those saying that image had been posted before, that's one of the things FP is for - bringing it to moderator attention. This was flagged up. If you feel there are similar things happening that are let go, flag it up. If you don't think the FP system is enough and that something needs to be done, post in the moderator request forum. Curiously enough, I won't be spending 24 hours a day going through the 20 years of ilx when I wasn't a mod. And try to quit it with the whole "pretending not to understand context" thing.

2. Explanation/emails.

I take this point. If I stay on as a mod I'd be happy to make sure I use the ilx mail function to keep people informed.

I think there's a good argument for making yellow cards private, or at least the contents of them? But it did come out of the general board demand for logging all mod actions back in the day, not sure if other people would push back against making them private.

One FP per person is how it works.

Tombot telling silby "you are generally disliked" is the action that seemed inappropriate for a mod, particularly the likely element of personal projection. Plenty of ppl may have felt warmly toward silby as a poster and person, while also thinking that many of their posts while in an agitated streak were out of line.

Yeah it seems a really weird choice to have yellow card messages be public; I think it dates from the time when the admin log was admin-only.

I’ll take out the message and leave the fact of the yellow card in the log (mainly because that’s easiest, all the admin code is here be dragons)

The "comedy" yellow card with the zingy comment was a thing with a few board level mods for a while. The joke is lost if no-one sees it.

There are probably a few copied and pasted here somewhere if you load all messages.

The two-part thread has been running for 12 years (less one month) and is titled Admin Log Watch and is entirely premised on c+p'd posts from the admin log, and discussion thereof. It's hilariously incongruous to suddenly be startled that a post from the admin log was pasted into the Admin Log Watch.

Also the second thing ever copied into it was

question at hand is does the ban need to be permanent? i think the answer to that should be informed by Boring's history of engagement with ILX, which i personally don't know and have no opinions about.

yeah i don't know if Boring had previous form, none that i've noticed, but i feel like you could read that joke as directed at the poster, which would be bad, or not directed at the poster so much as shrug at the entanglement of living in the here and now, which is ok a dark joke but not nasty enough to warrant a ban imo

I want to deeply apologize. It was a serious question, but barfed out without any thought. I’m a long time lurker and only registered in order to finally participate in discussion.

Partially, I had worried that easy access to posting would result in me doing something thoughtless like that. In my defense I have paid attention long enough that I would never have responded like that to someone who has shared their experience of suicidal ideation, and as far as I can tell, Aimless has not had publicly shared experiences. I respect the norms of this group and respect all of you. Again, my heartfelt apologies.

lol, sarahell, I was only joking.

Karl, I think it'd be good form to warn about what's under the hidden text marker, and also consider if your NSFW image is really necessary. Personally I'd prefer an external link to NSFW images with an explanation of what you'll see if you click on it. To answer your actual question, though, I'm not sure if the thread would need a NSFW marker or not if you hide the image, I'd probably keep it there as a content warning but I'm not completely sure it'd be warranted.

Yeah, that was a 51. And just before we reset the totals, too. I only ever really saw Left posts that had been flagged and tbh I frequently agreed with the main thrust of them, but jeez that person seemed to be aggressive for no reason.

actually I might have fp'd Left in the past 6 months. For a while my primary FP policy was to flag posts of the "ILX sucks and I hate everyone here" genre, and Left definitely had a streak of those back in the spring. tbh I hadn't really been bothered by him recently

Sorry to bring this back to serious moderation discussion, but I have 2 questions.

1) Why are the offensive posts still up? My understanding of the 'flag post' function is that they are intended to act as a non-public expression of 'this requires moderator action' e.g. the removal or editing of offensive posts (either with a note in the admin log, or to state in the edit 'racist post removed' if that context is required in-thread to explain further discussion).

2) The date of these racists posts was 24 September 2020. That was weeks ago. ILX moves so fast there have been half a dozen clusterfucks since then. Was any attempt made to yellow card or otherwise contact unperson to tell him, 'this racist post attracted 18 FPs'? When punishment is so divorced from action, how are people supposed to connect the two, in order to change behaviour?

I am not disputing unperson's temp ban. The post was racist, and almost certainly deserved a temp ban - *at the time it was made*.

What I am disputing is: 1) if 20 people thought a post was unacceptable, why is it still there? 2) this late-delayed, arbitrarily-timed random punishment feels like a sword of damocles, which has the effect of flattening all 'unpopular' opinions, rather than something specific and deliberate which lets members *immediately* know what actions are unacceptable rather than merely unpopular.

Branwell with an N, Thursday, 8 October 2020 08:03 (three years ago) link

I emailed Unperson immediately after he got 18 FPs (which for one post is virtually unprecedented) explaining that they were all for that one post and he shouldn't pull anything like that again - part of the warning system that was specifically requested. I agree the post itself should probably go.

He then got another four or five for the 'go slam your head in a car door' post which tipped him over the line. It wasn't especially arbitrary, it was pretty clear cut.

Normally a single post delivering that many flags would trigger a straight up tempban on the basis of the post's content alone, and maybe it should have in this case. We're new enough to the new rules as well and are still working out the parameters of warning vs straight up timeout.

Matt DC, Thursday, 8 October 2020 08:17 (three years ago) link

OK, thank you for addressing my questions calmly and reasonably. That makes a lot of sense, and puts my mind at ease.

I think if that's the case, then the incident was handled well, and kudos to you for good modding, DC. Thanks!

Branwell with an N, Thursday, 8 October 2020 08:19 (three years ago) link

So why when someone posts two anti-Semitic videos on two different threads, and a (older) Covid-19 conspiracy theory video on another, all of which are deleted having being brought to the attention of the mods - is this person is still posting, including on one of the same threads? But, instant ban for someone who says c**t a lot and apparently can't be trusted not to follow through on threats to stab Keir Starmer?

Anyway, back to the hilarious Admin Log bantz.

Young Boys of Bernie (Tom D.), Thursday, 8 October 2020 08:34 (three years ago) link

I haven't seen the AS video posts and didn't know they existed so will look into that. It may be under discussion right now, I don't know. There's a hell of a lot to keep on top of on this board and things do slip under the radar, one of the main reasons why the FP function exists at all.

Re: deleting the offending post, it's tricky, because if you delete and ban straight away then you get a lot of people saying "why were they banned? I can't see anything offensive", with the subtext that it couldn't have been that bad, and you end up back in the same dance.

I should point out that very few people get FP'ed for expressing an unpopular opinion - there is the occasional comedy FP for, I dunno, expressing a love of Mumford & Sons or a hatred of Gaz Coombes, but those obviously aren't taken into account if they get near the threshold (and if they're near the threshold at all there's clearly something else going on).

It is the way in which those opinions are expressed that gets people FPed. By way of context, there are only five people on the FP leaderboard AT ALL right now, and all of those people have a track record of addressing people or groups of people in a way that is regularly dismissive, disrespectful or belittling.

The other stuff doesn't need to be dredged up again and doesn't benefit anyone, least of all the person in question, who incidentally is still posting and like 99.9% of other posters nowhere near any kind of threshold right now.

reading the thread in question -- it seemed kinda a "gray area" to me, like I will hit the FP when I see fat-shaming most of the time, but ... it's kinda like going back to the Thatcher is Dead issue (from years ago) ... if a person in power is that horrible and oppressive, I feel less like policing people? But, enough other posters feel that is worth policing, so it is a relief to me (mostly in that I wouldn't want that decision to be only mine to make, because I have mixed feelings).

In other words, I'm not going to be posting the masturbating orangutan video in protest ... even though I do like burrito a lot

trump's insatiable gluttony - for attention, for power, for irresponsibility and yes, for terrible fast food - is an undeniable part of what makes him such a repugnant figure. given his tremendous and misplaced vanity and loathing for anything not Maxim-approved as beauty, it's not a huge leap from there to mock him as "fat" as an easy way to hoist him by his own petard. one of the many rhetorical errors there is that playing the insult game by Trump's rules lowers you to his piggish level and unnecessarily sideswipes any number of people whose only association with this dipshit is a BMI in the same zipcode.

pointing out Trump's multilayered gluttony or infantile diet can be valid responses to his own attacks on other people's attitudes or his assessment of them physically. Chris Christie is not mocking anyone else for their body afaik.

I think it’s important that people remember that the bans under the new rules are temporary, lasting only seven days. unperson will be unbanned tomorrow, burrito just a few days later. Nobody’s “online existence” is under threat.

The rules themselves are potentially quite temporary as well, since we all agreed to just try this out for six months and then see what we think.

also just a reminder, linking fatness to some kind of lapse in judgment or fundamental moral failing is one of the most fundamental and toxic aspects of fatphobia. people who are fat are *routinely treated like* they are selfish, indulgent, immoral pariahs lacking in self control. among the ways this happens is people telling dumb jokes or leaning gleefully into phrases like "tub of lard."

so to pick out a terrible person and go "hey it's cool to tell these dumb jokes and mock THIS guy's fatness, because HE'S a selfish, indulgent, immoral pariah lacking in self-control!" --- this is just repeating bodyshaming myths with the words in a different order. and again, i have yet to see any fat activists or to my knowledge any fat people at all saying "oh actually, if it's turning the tables on someone who shames others for their bodies, then it's a-ok!". i am not fat, but i don't want this board to be something i'd be ashamed to reveal to my fat friends.

A bit of a quibble/controp: being shamed into changing one's behaviour *can* be helpful in some cases. Speaking for myself and myself only, I probably would have never stopped smoking without a socially-instilled sense that it's utterly disgusting and stupid and expensive and self-destructive, which I feel more strongly when I'm in Canada than when I'm in Romania or France. Not to mention there are plenty of cultures (most?) where, for better or for worse, people don't feel the need to hold back when discussing this stuff. If they think you're overweight, drinking too much, not getting enough exercice, etc., they'll say it outright, and most of the time it's not even meant as an insult, it's more like: 'you really need to do something about that, buddy, it's seriously a shame', point blank. I'm not saying it's the right way to do it – if anything, my understanding is that scientific studies have shown fat-shaming in particular to be ineffective – but I find the cultural facet of it quite interesting. Like, I'm glad I live in a country where homophobes are shamed into shutting up, which I wish was also the case in Romania, say. So yeah, I'm not trying to defend the burrito here, I just have a hard time navigating this shit sometimes.

If addiction isn’t ‘behaviour’, I agree, doubly so if you subscribe to a hard account of determinism. Otherwise I’m not going to pretend we’re on the same wavelength. If smoking and drinking are bad for you, so is being overweight, and certain cultures stress the latter (albeit not the former) more forcefully than others (China, for instance), whereas much of the Western English-speaking world (the US, Canada, the UK, etc., whose obesity rates are startlingly and disturbingly high) do not, which does perhaps – perhaps! – make a difference in practice, but I would like to emphasize once again that I am not absolutely certain of this, I was just thinking out loud about hypothetical cultural factors. One’s environment does play an important role, as you can see here, for instance:

I think the piece of the puzzle you're missing here is that biology factors in - I never exercise and eat like shit yet am a skinny motherfucker, my wife eats healthy and does a lot of exercise yet is very much what would be seen as "overweight". So while we can discuss these things on a macro level individual shaming is 100% pointless unless you actually know the person so well that you can make that call.

I think that collective shaming might indeed have an effect here, but the impact it has on the mental health of fat people who aren't going to lose weight over it makes it too morally reprehensible to see it as a benefit of any kind.

Daniel_Rf, Friday, 16 October 2020 13:01 (three years ago) link

That's a fair point. Cultures where collective shaming is prevalent generally don't give a damn about outliers. They tend to be viewed as sacrificial cattle, in a sense.

pomenitul, Friday, 16 October 2020 13:03 (three years ago) link

pomenitul, i'm not sure i follow - how did we get to "addiction"?

we must have whole threads for this, but just tossing out some thoughts here: "overweight" is a social construction (over what weight exactly? according to who?), the medical basis of which is actually not as sound as people often think it is. I Am Not A Doctor, but, a lot of health conditions that get linked colloquially to fatness are actually to do with other things like cholesterol or sodium intake, which sometimes can correspond with fatness but also often don't. picture the classic skinny nerd who eats nothing but chicken tenders and frozen pizza - this person is almost certainly less healthy, more in danger of heart disease, etc., than my fat friend who between her backyard garden and farmers' market job eats more fresh produce in a month than i eat in a year.

there's also considerable reason to believe that actually the real health plague here is fatphobia! my understanding from reading and hearing the experiences of other people is that:

(a) if a fat person goes to the doctor with X symptom, they are more likely to be told to focus on exercise and diet, and the actual condition causing X may go totally undiagnosed because the doctor just sees a fat person who needs to be turned into a skinny person. this is one of those things that i'm told is way way more common than skinny people would ever assume it is, because we haven't experienced it. many fat people know this, and therefore have a whole extra reason to avoid going to the doctor, on top of all the reasons the rest of us have, so that's a problem.

(b) there's an entire universe of products and practices that are incredibly bad for your physical and mental health and which can be blamed directly on fat-shaming and a fatphobic culture: crash dieting, speed pills, eating disorders. unlike fatness, those are unambiguously bad for you; they kill people and wreck lives all the time. also more generally being told constantly that your body is bad, wrong, hideous, shameful, sexually undesirable, a sign that your ideas should not be taken seriously at work, etc., etc., is prettttttty obviously bad for your mental health.

Doctor Casino, Friday, 16 October 2020 15:34 (three years ago) link

Big yes to all of that - BMI is unscientific nonsense, and the stigma of just getting told the same damn weight loss advice basically no matter what your problems are at the GP is demoralizing enough that lots of fat people avoid it whenever possible, which is obviously not great.

Daniel_Rf, Friday, 16 October 2020 15:55 (three years ago) link

I wholeheartedly agree with points a) and b) but am somewhat taken aback by your tendency to minimize medical grounds for alerting people to the negative effects of being overweight. I am also very much aware that 'skinny-fat' is a thing, and that BMI (to cite the most popular example) is not the be-all, end-all. That being said, while 'overweight' as a category is indeed a social construct (I mean, absolutely everything is, in a certain sense), I fail to see how that makes 'fatness' healthy (also a social construct, while we're at it). It sounds like you're taking issue with the medical consensus because it doesn't fully account for the sociological facet of 'fatness', but do we really have to pick sides here?

As for addiction, overeating plays a highly significant part in the obesity epidemic. Indeed, genetic factors are not enough to explain the phenomenon on their own, although they do play an obvious part.

pomenitul, Friday, 16 October 2020 16:06 (three years ago) link

pomenitul if you are still reading: i am writing as a non-fat person who grew up with a lot of the same notions you're broadcasting here, and have come to change my thinking about this in my adult life. really i've only gotten to where i could begin to articulate the posts above in the past few years, as i've befriended fat activists, read a little more literature, and had my preconceptions convincingly challenged in ways i could not dispute. i submit that i was more brainwashed *before* i had my mind expanded on this issue than i was after. (that's why words like "woke" exist, also!)

so rather than just repeating the unsubstantiated claim that fatness is unhealthy --- indeed treating it so foundationally, a priori obvious that anyone challenging it must be some parody of something --- maybe there'd be some mileage in seriously considering the arguments, or doing some of the reading yourself with an open mind? just saying.

Doctor Casino, Friday, 16 October 2020 16:21 (three years ago) link

(and, just to be clear: my issue is not with "alerting people to the negative effects of being overweight," it's with the notion that such effects meaningfully exist. and in turn, with the real-world impacts on people's lives of insisting that they do, as a key leg propping up a very damaging and endemic culture of fatphobia, which does do medical harm.)

Doctor Casino, Friday, 16 October 2020 16:29 (three years ago) link

DC can you clarify how that claim is unsubstantiated? It seems verifiable that fatness has proportionate physical effects on the body. I want to know wha the counterpoints are.

Evan, Friday, 16 October 2020 16:32 (three years ago) link

I think both sides of this discussion would accept that there's a correlation of obesity (whatever the threshold, the correlation is there with that threshold) and health problems. But this is a study of a very large number of people. And from looking at the list of health problems, it's easy to imagine obesity isn't the actual cause of the health problem. For example, obesity correlates with mental illness. Do you really expect the dominant cause of this is not external to obesity itself? If you have correlation with mental illness and accept the relationship with body size is not direct, how many of the other health problems in the list are more likely to be caused by that mental illness?

seven day permanence (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 16 October 2020 16:39 (three years ago) link

it may be possible to argue against 'fatness is also not something in need of correcting', but that's also not something you correct in interactions with small groups of people. maybe let that influence policies you believe in or how you vote. don't assume a person with a bigger body is less healthy -- that's not how statistics work, or that you need to tell them they need to correct something. you are contributing directly to one of the health issues you claim to care about.

The vast majority of the population does not live their lives to maximize their health and well-being based on scientific evidence. And because fat is visible, and (at least here in the US) culturally "bad" -- this aspect of imperfection gets focused on, as opposed to countless other human flaws that don't. Like, idk, being able to do arithmetic in your head -- people that can easily do arithmetic in their heads are probably statistically more likely to live better lives -- but there isn't a culture of "You should consider working on being able to arithmetic in your head. You'll feel a lot better once you can do this."

In short ... fat-shaming, for me, is less about the flawed science and social construct, but mostly about, "I am not perfect, and I will never attain perfection, because I am human, and you know what, neither will you, so shut the fuck up!"

Right, and you can live the most textbookish "healthy" lifestyle possile, and still die stupidly because your house slides into the sea, or because Hope Hicks coughed on you, or because a rabid marmot bites your femoral artery.

What happened???

Tsar Bombadil (James Morrison), Monday, 22 February 2021 12:36 (three years ago) link

Discussion on the 'ilxors in their forties' thread was focused around the grief and misery that some posters were experiencing/had experienced during that decade. Sarahell opened up a sidebar convo on the 'no boys allowed' thread to interrogate whether there were any gender-centered implications to men's quad-decadal experiences of misery and grief. Some people thought this line of inquiry was in bad taste, to which Sarah responded by going back to the 'ilxors in their forties' thread with hat in hand to offer an apology and clear the air.

At some point during this discussion, Branwell with an N popped in to 'no boys' to offer their opinions. This is the part where things become a little hazy to me because to understand what happened would require reading Branwellian walls of text. But basically Branwell said some insensitive shit and then doubled down by being extremely rude to some of the posters on that thread. Several of the 'no boys allowed' posters expressed their displeasure with Branwell's stubborn refusal to back down.

The whole discussion capped off with Whiney G. Weingarten, a boy, popping into the no boys thread, unbidden; Sarahell offering a hilarious rejoinder; and then pplains delivering an amusing punchline at Whiney's expense. Whiney's and pplains's contributions have been stricken from the record to avoid setting a bad precedent.

Did I get all that right?

peace, man, Monday, 22 February 2021 13:34 (three years ago) link

between yr 2nd and 3rd paragraphs, the discussion also moved to a dedicated clusterfucking thread in which one poster was frustrated that Branwell was bitching about said poster on twitter in response to the ILX aggravation, Branwell lied that they had not done anything of the sort and in fact NO U, and was countered with screenshots. the tempban happened almost immediately after that, and now meta is continuing.

Thanks Tom. That's an important clarification.

peace, man, Monday, 22 February 2021 14:20 (three years ago) link

I feel like had Branwell just said "I didn't realize this was being discussed in another thread, nor was I trying to make light of it - I apologize, we can table this conversation for now", things would have been fine (lol that this EVER would happened but y'know).

but then coming out and trying to couch it as a "I won't back down against the patriarchy who is suppressing our speech" scenario and using words like "himpathy" in response to gyac's posts, suggesting the affected was receiving undue sympathy, and that the conversation should go on impeded, that's where shit got really fucked.

sarahell did the right thing, Branwell continued to step in it.

xp just curious as to what gets the fps flying in though, is all people are commenting on. You can be as racist, xenophobic, sexist as you like on Ilx as long as you couch it in enough language, and crüt made an excellent point about how we treat each other on here, but the stuff I’m mentioning is stuff that afaict is never factored in by fellow posters. Certainly not in the form of fps or bans.

"fuck off" is so impersonal and bland I can't imagine fp'ing someone for that. I didn't flag calzino, but when I saw this post, his subsequent ban wasn't exactly a surprise: ok what the fuck is happening in the ukraine

I don't give a fuck about profanity. I fp'd xyz because he was belligerently misrepresenting other people's posts, which was shitting up an already bad thread. I fp'd someone he was arguing with for the exact same reason; that poster remains unbanned, so maybe there is some kind of sides-taking going on idk

it's fine as I just want an ongoing understanding of what's transpiring rn

I'm going to go serious for a minute

The slack people have gotten upset about was announced and advertised on ilx lots and lots of times.

It doesn't have secret membership requirements, anybody can sign up.

It isn't a googleable place of permanent record.

99% of it is people talking about positive stuff they enjoy and supporting each other thru covid and other shit

Anybody who's come along has been welcomed. Whether they chose to stay welcomed has been on them, far as I can tell

One difference to ilx maybe is people generally talk to each other as people and not as an audience for shtick

There is one channel on the slack where some of the members including me complain and laugh and take the piss out of ilx posters and posts that grind our gears

God knows how many other places on the internet or in real life people do same

If people genuinely feel that ilx would be improved by everybody straight calling everybody else on their bullshit all the time, well, I think we tried that and I think the consensus was it wasn't so great

If people genuinely think nobody should ever chat shit about a person, a persona, or a post they think is mean or asinine then great, god speed, I do not know how you wanna police that

Most people I find are better for knowing but sometimes there are limits and maybe for all of us we have people who are better for avoiding

That's my rant, say what you like about it, here, somewhere else, or in your head. I give no fucks

This is a bit disingenuous. The existence of an ilxor Slack will come as a surprise to some, it was to me. I’m still not sure how to get in, or if the address has been made public and clear. I am not exactly sure the way it has been handled fosters a feeling of inclusion.

Van Horn Street, Sunday, 13 March 2022 10:51 (two years ago) link

And it’s different than say the ilxor fantasy baseball yahoo group in that it seems that users and posts are being actively discussed on the slack. It’s never a nice feeling to learn that you have been discussed by a group without your knowledge, Neanderthal is absolutely right to react the way he is.

If people genuinely feel that ilx would be improved by everybody straight calling everybody else on their bullshit all the time, well, I think we tried that and I think the consensus was it wasn't so great

which one is it? is it that or the other?

the idea is to talk shit about posters behind their backs to protect their feelings (lol ok) but to also do so via a medium all posters have free access to and can come and go as they please? how is that actually different from just doing it in front of their face, other than being incredibly stupid

, Sunday, 13 March 2022 12:21 (two years ago) link

it's whichever one you want it to be, just like selectively reading the bits of posts that you feel like acknowledging

Nordle (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 13 March 2022 12:55 (two years ago) link

i could've extended either quote multiple paragraphs both ways and responded exactly the same

ftr i genuinely do think that things people can't say directly to someone's face here probably aren't worth stating privately, i've never even liked the "posts you had a second thought about" thread for that reason. say it or don't. maybe it's a natural impulse but i would hope a bunch of median age 42s have something better to do with their time by now, the older this place gets the more embarrassing the petty high school drama becomes

but if people are going to insist on shit talking off board then maybe actually make an attempt to keep it private? gossiping 101 would teach not to leave a transcript of your shit talk in the break room if you don't want the subject to stumble on it

Honestly, this makes the most sense to me. I do think there is a time for private venting, but if it's not actually private then doesn't that make it pointless? Not saying the slack is pointless or directing any ire to it, but it doesn't feel pleasant knowing that there is a whole dedicated group for slagging people off.

How's there any comparison between a slack with a very limited and clearly denoted userbase and an ilx board that sits right next to the other one? People don't even shit talk each other in 77 afaict, at least as long as I've had access to it. Maybe they did in the past

My understanding of the slack - admittedly limited as I've only heard about its existence through occasional whispers in the wind during a certain phase of the moon on a hot summer's night - comments were/are being made under the assumption that the posters in question wouldn't see them.

I'm not saying people should never talk about other posters as people or acknowledge that they exist as people. I'm not saying people should do anything except learn to keep their shit talk private if they want it to be private.

Half the people complaining are mad that the slack isn't more private and half are mad it's not more public. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW, COME BE A PART OF IT. But we have group norms and people will say something if you're a jerk, because we're all people sharing our emotional selves in real time to each other. Jesus christ it's not that complicated.

I agree, tbh, and no matter what the circumstances of how this all "got out of control," I'm more than a little flabbergasted that there are such conflicting opinions as to the nature of this Slack. Is it public and available to any ilxors? Is it invite-only? Can I get an invite if I promise to adhere to community guidelines? If not, why?

we need outrage! we need dicks!! (the table is the table), Sunday, 13 March 2022 16:47 (two years ago) link

There's definitely a similarity to when 77 started. But one difference is that there was an explicit rule that you can't shit-talk another user who isn't on 77. (To be fair I'm pretty sure that rule was instated because people were absolutely doing this, but I think I joined 77 fairly late on so didn't really see it.)

And now he's mad at people on the slack for.............not being cool that, I guess?? I don't know why else he has gone around for weeks slyly mentioning it in many other threads and trying to get people stirred up. It's willfully disruptive and has directly resulted in people being hurt by passing conversation that's only still available because the internet is a curse.

Ima Gardener (in orbit), Sunday, 13 March 2022 16:51 (two years ago) link

The slack and almost weekly zooms were posted about here multiple times two years ago near the beginning of the pandemic so that people could have a more freeform, less publicly displayed conversation. With any community that grows, evolves and builds trust in one another it sometimes will get a little more closed off. How the fuck is this difficult to understand in 2022?

Dan I., Sunday, 13 March 2022 17:15 (two years ago) link

not sure how often this needs to be repeated but the issue isn't the slack's discoverability, it's that a specific ilxor decided to act out a grudge against another ilxor by repeatedly drawing negative attention to the slack in such a way that a third ilxor (entirely unrelated to the beef in question) was drawn to look and got badly hurt

the specific ilxor exactly wanted something like this to happen and didn't give a tiny fvck abt the consequences to many others (including the third ilxor)

the specific ilxor is someone i've always got on with and in the past have had no personal issue with but they were absolutely and consciusly and deliberately stirring and got all this -- which is what they wanted -- as a way of "winning" an argument where they had in fact been the primary misbehaver

if ppl really want to join constructively that’s fine but someone has already joined with a handle “go fuck yourselves” and their profile description says they will “bring you immense pain”

not exactly the greatest thing to read in a place where some people have posted pics of their children and others have discussed grieving, depression and addiction

Yerac, Sunday, 13 March 2022 17:36 (two years ago) link

believe it or not but talking about ilx itself constitutes maybe 1-2% of the slack, though frankly it almost feels like i should be using the past tense here

i gave the specific grudge-holding ilxor a lot of benefit of the doubt but it really is hard to avoid concluding that they “blew up our spot” purely out of revenge for being called out on poisonous behaviour

Tracer Hand, Sunday, 13 March 2022 17:37 (two years ago) link

to be fair, ILX used to be so much bitchier out in the open. i participated in that and think much of my behavior was bad, so i am in no position to condemn anyone participating in a Slack i was unaware of. i am sorry Neanderthal discovered comments he was never meant to and also dismayed to discover it’s all a result of Zach TBD’s anger at gyac? mostly because i like all those people. i don’t exactly know why i feel compelled to post in this thread…but i do

There is one channel on the slack where some of the members including me complain and laugh and take the piss out of ilx posters and posts that grind our gears

God knows how many other places on the internet or in real life people do same

i would hope that the number of people who post on a message board dedicated to privately complaining about posts on another plain-text message board (which itself contains multiple threads and entire boards dedicated to such) is small. also hope that they seek help

flopson, Sunday, 13 March 2022 18:24 (two years ago) link

There's another message board for that.

you should close the archives though, especially if, for instance, on that thread you are clowning about that person using information not derived from ilx but from more private areas of the internet

it's not dedicated to privately complaining about ilx posts ... unless all of the conversations about gardening and cats is really a very secret complex code that is only available to an elite few. It sucks that people have that impression. The ratio of meta complaining is probably smaller than on ilx itself.

sarahell, Sunday, 13 March 2022 19:40 (two years ago) link

There is nowhere dedicated to complaining about ilx but there is a slack that was formed at the start of the pandemic by ilxors. There is also a discord and a private Facebook group just called ILX; I know of one Facebook messenger chat but there may be others; bitd there were aim chatz aiui; there are also FAPs and DMs and probably dozens of other ilx related backchannels

In every single one of these a small percentage of time will be spent talking about the message board ppl have in common, which posters you like & which send you up the wall (it’s almost never unanimous)

This is not really the issue

a specific ilxor decided to act out a grudge against another ilxor by repeatedly drawing negative attention to the slack in such a way that a third ilxor (entirely unrelated to the beef in question) was drawn to look and got badly hurt

the specific ilxor exactly wanted something like this to happen and didn't give a tiny fvck abt the consequences to many others (including the third ilxor)


This is the issue

i think i only noticed a few of the "negative attention" posts and probably wasn't reading the threads that formed the pattern for this ... but I remembered the slack being started as a "stay sane during covid" thing, and I never thought of it as a secret borad, probably because i haven't been paying attention?

Clay, Sunday, 13 March 2022 19:53 (two years ago) link

Well ito the non “locked down” nature of the slack there is sort of a comedy of errors aspect there in that normally slack messages disappear after a certain point so everyone was posting on the understanding that this was all ephemeral, and it just so happened that this latest fuckery took place during a 1-month free trial of slack premium, literally the only time the archives will be searchable

ppl also, I think understandably, were posting with the assumption that after 2 years anyone who wanted to take part would have joined and nobody would be cunty enough to repeatedly draw their attention to it

So I don’t think it’s that different to the many other channels where ppl are talking about ppl

I have limited mod powers and can't delete posts to this thread. I also don't want to potentially abuse my lowly subboard mod authority by being overly punitive to what some ilxors might feel is an okay discussion.

My mod powers do allow me to threadban posters from this thread ... so anyone seriously posting about the slack / off-board criticism of other ilxors on this thread will get a yellow card and then a thread ban

I feel like I almost dont belong here despite being here 20 years because in all that time, I've found out about off-board boards only after the fact (when they blow up like this has) or, in the case of the initial 77 board activity, when I had IRL friends not remotely associated with ILX asking me who X and Y people from here were, because they were writing disparaging comments about me under said non-ILX friend's flickr photos.

I never did find out who did that.

I haven’t posted regularly on ILX in years. Tbh it’s blocked at work and I get overwhelmed when I visit as if I don’t even know where to start again. The slack - which was begun during the first lockdown more as a rapid chat forum seemed smaller and more manageable for me so I have been posting there sporadically. There are several channels many of which are similar to those here. There’s a general one and a cooking one for instance. There was one channel that was for ILX discussions that some people posted in. This idea that the slack exists to plan coordinated bullying attacks is incorrect and pretty nuts and I just want to make that really clear.

Probably worth noting that, while ILX can often feel like a tight-knit community, few people read every thread on the board and it's easy to miss stuff. The only reason I knew about the Slack is because someone mentioned it to me off-board around the time it started. (I signed up, realized I didn't have time for it, and haven't logged in since.) So it's not surprising to me that some regular posters might not have known about it and consequently feel left out.

hey, do i actually have to remind you that ilx has a search function?

sarahell, Monday, 14 March 2022 15:29 (two years ago) link

There's an xls for that.

I think that maybe we could get certain threads mod-stickied. I think I can remember that happening one time that I've been here, although I might be imagining it (https://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=40&threadid=58899 ???) . The slack announcement could have been one of them (in hindsight).

I thought about this briefly like a month ago when I realized that I never saw the ILM EOY voting thread (which had only been bumped on a handful of occasions) and thus missed the ballots deadline.

peace, man: i don't see anything in the admin tools i get that can do that. granted, i don't have all the tools, and i'm guessing that the reason i get errors when i try and use some of the functions is because as a sub-board mod i have more limited permissions? (not complaining, just saying)

hahah yeah, apart from some classic nabisco otm content, this is good to reflect on -- also i miss Edward III

anyway here's why secret boards are bad ideas: a) information wants to be free, and when "secrets" come out the results aren't usually enjoyable, b) secret boards create a sense of disenfranchaisement amongst non-secret board members, and c) it gives the judgment-impaired a screen behind which to hide.

I think all 3 of these factors greased the sledrails on the recent ... debacle. at least when this shit was on noize board people could shrug it off as "what do you expect, noize board is made of dicks", but when it's on some secret area that only "certain people" are privy to, it adds an extra twist of humiliation...

So she'll yellow card or threadban you if you do it, as is her right! There's a thread on ILE where it is discussed so if you have anything you need to contribute then that's where to go (though now it's calmed down a bit I'd personally prefer it wasn't reignited).

Well shit. Tensions appear to be running high atm, so many fucking bans.

I was just coming on here to say that in lieu of finding any previously-stated rule, we've decided that the precedent with Van Horn Street is that two 20-in-a-month bans will just be week-long ones each time. If you get two minibans you're pretty close to a month-long ban so we figure keeping it simple should work better.

sounds like a mollusk.

circa, I've got to interrogate what "spectacle" means to you in terms of enjoyment and why it not being in CGI somehow gives you a greater thrill. Flynn's Robin Hood or even Spielberg's War of the Worlds, this ain't; it's workshopped and overwrought beyond common sense or spontaneous thrill. I'm not getting any soul or thought beyond obvious fanservice and slavish Cruise hagiography. If what's there is exciting you, more power to you; acting as if these blockbuster hoo-ha qualities are inherently recognizable, positive or even engrained within this work as a matter of fact is fallacious.

I also take umbrage with your conception of me as a curmudgeons shooting fish in a barrel in choosing to engage the work and then positioning myself as holier-than-thou in voicing my objections. I think I've been clear in my intentions to want to find things to enjoy here; I'm simply not seeing them.

the positives are much the same as the first one: Full committal by all the actors, Cruise is an eyecatching actor and can mostly get away with the dumbest conceivable dialogue, the dogfight sequences are generally intelligible but holy shit this script though.
STILL predictable and dogshit dumb, daddy-do-you-love-me-now, adolescent small dick power fantasy tech fetishism at its worst. it no longer has the benefit of explicit homoeroticism but the music and score do still suck!

The decision to replicate not only the credits but all the main story beats, all the failson rising white narcissist savior bullshit and at least a dozen scenes note for note doesn't impress me, it only serves to show how utterly creatively bereft and unimaginative the hands on the wheel are. The inclusion of a more diverse cast and a slightly less sex pest relationship are directly undercut by Hangman's hotdog last second bailout (another bloated egotist to the rescue! let's see a woman do that!) and the cynical erasure of all the prior film's female characters. Kilmer can't even speak but he makes the cast while McGillis gets bumped for the unforgivable sin of aging.
The product being sold here isn't the military, it's fucking Tom Cruise. Why the fuck did I just watch a two hour commercial for Tom Cruise? Fuck this series.

I never saw Top Gun and am doing an oscar sweep, figured fuckit i might as well see the original if i have to see the sequel.

I'm sure everyone already knows this as I'm forty years late to the party BUT: better than average direction that makes the aerial sequences comprehensible and enjoyable, Cruise is good and there's solid acting throughout (with the exception of McGillis who seems drugged), but holy shit this script though.

Really needs to be said. Just don't get it. Over the last year he has every now and then reappeared to mostly snipe at posters he dislikes. No other contribution of any sort, that I could see. He was only banned because he just couldn't step away from the events currently unfolding.

Christine Green Leafy Dragon Indigo, Monday, 9 October 2023 21:26 (six months ago) link

The short answer is "we don't spend much time thinking about it." By week 3 of a one month ban, I've almost completely forgotten that the recipient even exists. It's usually week 5 or 6 before I remember to lift the ban unless someone reminds me. The ban-ee tends to lay low for a while until they lose control of themselves and get back on their bullshit, followed by another ban. Enough tempbans turn into a perma perma. I can't remember if VHS has had more than one ban before this one.
