So, it's open for anyone on the board to see. Is that a good idea?

lol did jaymc seriously get banned from the 'Ideas for ILX' thread after asking 'Is there a way to killfile a thread instead of a poster?'
― caută tu singur (gyac), Thursday, 13 August 2020 20:03 (three years ago) link
Why though?
― Young Boys of Bernie (Tom D.), Thursday, 13 August 2020 20:04 (three years ago) link
Disappointing. Then again, getting threadbanned doesn't prevent you from reading said thread, which is the root of the problem here.

True. I suspect I know which thread it is, a good idea to avoid seeing it imo is to not post there, and to post in other threads to bump it down.

transparency?

And how is that any different from Tombot warning silby in the middle of a thread how many FPs he's got?
― Young Boys of Bernie (Tom D.), Thursday, 13 August 2020 20:09 (three years ago) link
Tom i say this with love but who caaaaaaares, it’s too hot for this shit

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.
― emil.y, Thursday, 13 August 2020 20:16 (three years ago) link
Well, I think they should be private because I can honestly see no reason why they shouldn't be. In this particular case, all it needs is for some malicious individual(s) who can't stand the poster in question to hammer in a few FPs and they're out.
― Young Boys of Bernie (Tom D.), Thursday, 13 August 2020 20:19 (three years ago) link
Good work there, mods!
you'd still need 30 such individuals
― imago, Thursday, 13 August 2020 20:20 (three years ago) link
and if there are 30 people on ILX who want you banned on top of the 20 who've already fp'd you then i daresay you're doing something wrong
― imago, Thursday, 13 August 2020 20:21 (three years ago) link
I think if you get such a note on the admin log, it’s probably not a huge mystery to you that you’re pissing off that many people, no?
― caută tu singur (gyac), Thursday, 13 August 2020 20:23 (three years ago) link
(xp) Yes but I don't know how many FPs I'd had before I called Tombot a dick do I?

I have no idea.
― Young Boys of Bernie (Tom D.), Thursday, 13 August 2020 20:24 (three years ago) link
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.
Tom you have to acknowledge that it is extremely funny, over three thousand posts into the thread of (ppl but especially sarahel) c+p-ing updates from the Admin Log, to suddenly be surprised that someone (in this case sarahel) c+p'ed an update from the Admin Log
― Steppin' RZA (sic), Thursday, 13 August 2020 20:25 (three years ago) link
How many FPs did Tombot garner for that threat?

I'm not going to make a big deal about it but it strikes me as a bit weird, especially as I gave Tombot pelters for doing much the same thing, i.e., letting everybody on the board know someone else's business.
― Young Boys of Bernie (Tom D.), Thursday, 13 August 2020 20:32 (three years ago) link
It has a tinge of irony, I'll give you that.

I don't think this has ever happened, but I understand the worry. Stet's working on some updates and making yellow cards private is definitely on the list now.
― emil.y, Thursday, 13 August 2020 20:38 (three years ago) link
I have no idea how much work is involved with the stuff stet does or how much spare time he has, so it might not happen straight away, though. Don't get too excited.

Anyway, no worries, I get the message, I'll be a good boy and stick to Album Cover threads in future.

not possible
ie someone could register 32 socks with different email addresses but this would also be visible to mods

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
