it me

What should happen is all the mods should stop modding and, if possible, the registration system should be set to auto-approve. Also, stet should stop maintaining the site and paying the hosting bills.

hmm very intellectually honest argument dan, great work

Admins have always had the right to ban people on top of the FP system though - if some new guy turns up and drops a load of N-bombs we can tell from the 10 FPs they get in like 10mins, we're not going to wait around for them to get to 51.

This is different obviously and long-time posters usually get the benefit of the doubt. Personally I probably wouldn't have banned Deej in these circumstances but I'm going to Stet's right to withdraw access as he sees fit.

yeah i mean, ultimately stet answers to no one. i assume he'd at least be interested in the thoughts of the people on the board tho

i am!

i like deej hes nice

i like your bass your deej is nice

the thomas paine routine is so absurd for like 5 reasons

top 5 reasons the thomas paine routine is so absurd when i got to number 4 i laughed but when i read number 5 i cried

is this really the hill y'all want to die on?

I don't want to die

deej got banned on purpose so that lag∞n would grow as a poster and basketball coach

i dont want to die but i want to be on a hill

This thread is not funny but I keep reading the thread title with the other meaning of "beefing" and it makes me laugh.

"beefing with mods" LOL

I do feel like it was an unnaturally long time between the last big clusterfuck and this one. I was just thinking last week how uncharacteristically quiet it had been.

this week has been like when wrestling gets boring and they bring the rock and stone cold back to pump the crowd up

beeves

stet can ban whoever he wants for whatever reason and anyone irritated about it can go start a successor board or complain in slack or subtweet stet bc stet runs the dumb thing and this is how the internet works, if you own and run the thing you have every right to manage it with outright caprice and even vindictiveness if you want to.

If I were a site mod I'd be a terror that's for sure, honestly the unyielding tolerance for mansplainy derailing on certain threads is annoying a f and making good posters waste their time re-explaining why bad things are bad to ppl whose only point is ~makes u think~

I support the municipality is what I'm saying, the great thing about Internet is you can stop coming around if you don't like how things are, email your friends, whatever, it's all fine.

ILX doesn't have a big red RULES READ FIRST thread stickied everywhere or special text for mods nobody even knows there are mods 95% of the time and afaict all the notoriously run out of town on a rail posters of the past trickle back on their own time and don't get in trouble so I mean what even

If I were a site mod I'd be a terror that's for sure

lmao

Thank God that will never happen.

Anyway, I’m peacing out of this whole deal. Have fun.

this is stupid as heck no offense stet just stole the board anyway and doesnt even really read or understand it particularly, which is not to say i dont appreciate the work hes done, but everyone w yr toady ass authority worship can get the bozack

I wouldn't say it's "authority worship" per se just that like this is literally what running and moderating internet messageboards is for, messageboards are governed by fiat not the rule of law bc they aren't polities.

argue about community norms sure but it's not like the mods are vested with power by the demos they're vested with it by whoever has the root passwd to the EC2 instance

none of that is "literally" true actually its just yr bad idea abt it

i mean like stet aint start ilx, he doesnt pay for it, it doesnt belong to him

doesn't belong to him like he's not its legal proprietor or in some sort of spiritual sense

he has some login info, he does work that no one else wants to or can (thank u!) but this idea that he has absolute power and thats just that i dont think particularly reflects the reality of the situation, nor is it particularly desirable

Well he could pull the plug, as eneff did back in the day. Go ahead, I say.

this is good tho, I think this is how my messageboard posting generally works b/c whenever I get riled up I just post shit I don't necc "mean" or "believe"

can't believe lag∞n invoked the bozack, shit poppin off

I don't know what that is honestly assume it's some sort of third-rate polearm that doesn't even show up in the player's handbook
