ADMIN LOG WATCH 2

Is that your first ever dn?

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

it would be nice if that changed.

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.

grating vs. stabbing TS

In the messageboard business we call this “moving goalposts”

― 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 seems like the real issue is: was that the right decision?

Well, that and invoking a murderer to explain the decision.

next person who posts is literally Armin Meiwes

Nice.

hi lads i'm starving

ffs pom

Next one is literally Torsten Weiss.

Oh shit.

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.

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.

I don't dislike them, I just found many of their posts smug, bullying, and stupid

stet could certainly save a lot of server space if he deleted all of our smug and stupid posts

is it cool to post about drowning Katy Perry in the soda driptray at Subway sandwiches? asking for a friend

stet, your comparison made perfect sense. this is a moral panic.

Oh go and save an orphanage, Mr Goody Two Shoes.

stet could save a lot of server space by deleting ilxor.com/StetsSkyrimBuilds

in Old ILX he wouldn't have been banned, we would just have referred to him as "Stabby Cal" even after he changed usernames

The thing that continues to puzzle me here is: what on earth possesses ILX mods to continue the thankless task of ILX moderation? There must be some sweet bennies and ample vacation days involved.

they get recording contracts

they can delete your posts!

they say ilxor mods work half days -- 12 hours per day!

Are you really asking "why do people put up with me?"

i can't even tell you if there's an even or odd number of mods, which is ironic don't you think?

you're assuming Old Lunch actually wrote that post, mods probably have him tied up somewhere

(holds up newspaper with today's date, attempts to refrain from weeping openly)

Pretty upsetting imagery tbh

lock thread, Admin Log 3 up next

can I get mod powers for ILAFL?

you're two days late on that one

The misplaced fucking angst on this thread; it's 3 days, he'll be back.

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.

fwiw I think yr doin a kickass job

I agree with what you did emil.y. I killfile the posters who post their violent fantasies and fp them when I’m on zing. If those posts become normal here then I’ll leave ilx.

we need a new word for killfile

Where did that come from?

And what's it doing on this thread?

Well, it is the admin log watch

So where did it come from?

the admin log

[Removed Illegal Link]

it's at the bottom of "boards"

oh, link didn't work.

click on "boards" up to, scroll to bottom, click on "admin log"

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?'

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

it's been that way for 10+ years

there's a whole thread dedicated to posting about updates to it (this one)

Did you not get your yellowcard?
