is he a mod again?

treeship., Monday, 10 August 2020 19:50 (three years ago) link

I'm not sure, but I don't know how else he would know a user's FP count

i agree that making that comment publicly was bad form

treeship., Monday, 10 August 2020 19:52 (three years ago) link

i do not agree that there is anything wrong with the temp ban. violent threats seem like a really good place to draw a line to me.

treeship., Monday, 10 August 2020 19:52 (three years ago) link

do temp bans normally get written warnings to accompany them? I thought they just....happened.

who was Tom's post directed at?

sarahell, Monday, 10 August 2020 19:57 (three years ago) link

silby

popeye's arse (Neanderthal), Monday, 10 August 2020 19:58 (three years ago) link

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.

It was silby. I didn't include that info as I don't think that matters really; on the other hand silby hasn't posted since then.

when someone can't post to a message board for a couple of days using a particular email address, this is fascism, to me.

the quar on drugs (Simon H.), Monday, 10 August 2020 20:05 (three years ago) link

I'm just trying to figure out if we're getting up in arms about a change in procedure or if we're pissed off about something that is SOP.

I remember getting banned multiple times in my early 'troll' days, and I was not given any email explanation, other than the post in the thread which said "Banhammered", and the Admin Log.

Now, maybe it's different since then, but....I didn't think we got embroidered letters on ILX stationery with the reasoning on them.

Getting an explanation for a ban has probably never been a thing, it’s just some new issue that is useful to stoke the flames of outrage.

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.

Oh it's probably never been a thing, that's that cleared up then.

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.

I don’t disagree with the reasoning of deleting the post at all, btw, because it’s not me on the hook for any negative consequences as a result. But, as much as I hate to agree with Tom D, the Thomas Mair comparison is really out of order.

I don’t know who posted the post you’re quoting, but it’s been fairly standard on other forums I’ve been on (and banned!) from.

there was an explanation on the admin log. and the mods explained their thinking here. this is a pile-on.

treeship., Monday, 10 August 2020 20:20 (three years ago) link

there's still no clarity regarding what calz is being temp banned for

it seemed clear to me why the mods who temp-banned him did what they did ... it seems like the real issue is: was that the right decision?

also, as someone who has been temp-banned several times, I agree with Branwell and other posters re the stigma -- even though mods contacting the poster about it might not be a standard practice, it would be nice if that changed.

Assuming that question was meant for me, nope, but I've used them sparingly so far.

i agree with this but the way it was invoked here -- as a talking point to make Saint Calzino's ban seem like even more of an unbearable injustice -- was grating.

― treeship.

honestly, i feel like i've learned some stuff from this thread. i came in here with a certain point of view based on my personal experiences and that point of view has become, i don't know, more open over the course of the discussion. that said, i'm not having an argument over whether or not the mods were "right" to do what they did, i'm thinking about some of the challenges around moderating this community and things that might possibly be done to handle difficult situations without it blowing up into a clusterfuck. this is a clusterfuck, another in a series of regular clusterfucks, and i'm less interested in blaming anybody than trying to figure out ways we could have fewer clusterfucks. and, for instance, a side discussion upthread where both participants were not sure who was or wasn't a mod, that indicates to me room for improvement.

It's here, because it explains why I support a temp ban for someone describing how they're going to kill a politician. I didn't mean it to be shit-stirring, can see that it is – and am sorry for it.
