The Yellow Kid wondering why no one has posted to this thread since it started three hours ago.

What I really want to know is which posters have gotten killfiled over their taste in music (this has to have happened at some point).

It is OK to ask if others ilxors have chosen this criterion for killfiling another ilxor. But do not ask to know which posters were the object of that decision, please.

Never killfiled despite 1 or 2 people whose posts I could do without, but I've self control to just Ignore Them.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Friday, 4 September 2020 04:25 (three years ago) link
No one killfiled. In the context of a thread it doesn't make any sense to me. Anyone particulaly irritating is going to be quoted by someone else anyway. Most of the problems with killfileable people in any context (not here specifically) isn't that person themselves but the responses from other people responding to what they say
If I can deal with killfileable people in my extended family I can manage it elsewhere

no killfiles. don't FP either unless people are being arseholes about how they've FP'd others or about how others should be banned

Never killfiled anyone, in part as I didn’t know you could or how to do so.

Never used it, no plan to.

I don't actually know how the killfile works and wouldn't use it in any case.
― Matt DC, Friday, 4 September 2020 09:23 (three years ago) link
Haven't felt the need for it for a few years now.

I got as far as downloading the browser extension once, but never actually killfiled the user who was irritating me at the time.

Have killfiled in the past, may killfile in the future.

Does muting users on Zing count as killfiling?

Never killfiled.

I tried it out once years ago to see if I could get it to work, then immediately un-killfiled that poster and haven't used it since.

Never killfiled Satan's account, look, see for yourselfYou'd know it if I had that shit don't come offI'll rise and fall, let me take credit for bothJump off a cliff don't need your help so back off

killfile sounds so aggressive. why not chillfile?

I have currently kf'd 16 posters. If I couldn't, I'd just quit this place. If I end up kf'ing many more posters, I may as well quit this place.
If I just quit ILE I'd have essentially no need for kf, but I'm still interested in a few things on it, just not when things turn snide & snipey.
― Joey Corona (Euler), Friday, 4 September 2020 14:38 (three years ago) link
16? That's quite something. I'm too fond of challops (99% of which are frankly quite mild) and too committed to the ideal of a plurality of voices to killfile anyone. And I'm still convinced that our recurrent differences of opinion are ultimately insignificant in the grand discursive scheme. All in all, nü-ILX is the friendliest, least antagonistic, most welcoming general discussion forum I've ever come across.
― pomenitul, Friday, 4 September 2020 14:50 (three years ago) link
lol 16!
Come to think of it I don't think I've even flagged a post. Guess if I don't like something I just tell them but it's not for everyone.

it's extremely bracing, better than electro-shock iirc

if more people stuck to just reading their own dazzling + outstandingly otm posts then there would be much less confliction and shit-talking wet wipes having tantrums!
― calzino, Friday, 4 September 2020 15:23 (three years ago) link
Perhaps if more people were less keen to use others as punching bags this thread would’t exist!
― scampo italiano (gyac), Friday, 4 September 2020 15:26 (three years ago) link
there should also be a shillfile where you pick an ilxor you like a lot and you see their posts in a font 5 times as big as everybody else, and all posts where they act poorly or break forum rules are deleted.

I'm just glad killfile wasn't an option back when I was a stupid twentysomething posting around these parts because if it had been, half of ILX would have killfiled me for certain (and I would have deserved such a fate). But no, I have never used it and would never consider using it, because I'm living proof that there's always room for [self-]improvement.

We should start a thread specifically devoted to asking: 'have I been killfiled by one of three ILXors who have more than eight nemeses on their respective lists? Plz respond.'

Yeah and aside from anything else you gotta admit the frisson of excitement and anticipation for a good ole hateread
Anyway ive posted exclusively on android phones for years and years and its never iirc been an option

I have yet to ascend to hatereading ILX. A few more bitter years and I'll get there, I'm sure. Show me the way, father deems.

Tbph the topics
Sorry- firstly, you cheeky cunt, im not that old
The posts we have now are fifth generation stars ito evolution of what and how we discuss and do not provide the bang required
Posts are shorter, as posters take a more nervy footing on anything controversial the better to spring away leveretesque under challenge
No two posters of even minor god capacity now dwell upon this site who so oppose each other on a matters or topics with the heft to see killingblows exchanged its all nods from the other field or a spar at best
Lighter posters ofc are frequently summarily mobbed and rent
But essentially its that a discussion rarely gets to the heat and gravity where a poster youd hateread is posting material youd hateread in form long enough for you to either spot it coming or realise early doors they were 'at it' and you should go make a cuppa, splash some water on your face send the wife on a message and fuckin go back and fuckin really relish reading it in full fury mode
Now at best its a few lines of exactly what it is you hate but a popkin at best and gone in the wind of the next post, sure whod be fuckin bothered. Be like punching feathers.
― Qanondorf (darraghmac), Thursday, 21 January 2021 02:05 (three years ago) link
Blame Twitter for the passing of ILX long form – Twitter and a semblance of collective maturity gained over two decades, even as the cast of sad socks is no longer the same.
I do think you've missed out on some grand ILM showdowns despite the limited stakes, but we all have our blind spots in this hall of mirrors.
― pomenitul, Thursday, 21 January 2021 02:20 (three years ago) link
ilmited stakes
― Qanondorf (darraghmac), Thursday, 21 January 2021 02:23 (three years ago) link
Actually there is one id killfile but genuinely without rancour its because of absolutely harmless but fairly irritating no-content posts that i dont personally find are counterbalanced in other ways (ime this last part is very rare around here, most people are bringing something good to the table)
Telling that if this poster were someone i disliked id be less likely to killfile. Content is content, im here for entertainment.
