ADMIN LOG WATCH 2

disturbed to find out you consider FPing Gaznostics is "comedy"

If stuff gets rightly and quickly removed for Jew-bashing or suchlike, obviously people who would otherwise FP it won't see it. This is better than leaving that shit around for everyone to look at.

xp to Tom D there

The poster in question decided to double down on it after people complained about the deleted videos by following up with a picture of Epstein and Trump. I agree he would easily have racked up FPs if people hadn't caught the posts in question quickly, but in any case that's beyond the pale.

Why is it always ilm randos

The answer is in the question there

The person wasn't a rando and had posted conspiracy stuff previously - though not openly anti-Semitic stuff afaict. Anyway, well done, Matt.

short step from loving music to loving conspiracies

Can you identify the poster or the posts more clearly so that I can go fp them too? I don’t see what’s going on.

they've been site banned for now so i wouldn't worry about it

I didn’t catch that, but if one of the follow-up AS posts is still there in the controp thread, I think I see what’s going on (not a rando, sadly).

Saturday, October 10, 2020 4:38 PM Site the burrito that defined a generation has been banned permanently. Seven day timeout. Please listen to the people asking you to stop posting like that

???

I think burrito was quadrupling down on his right to fat shame Chris Christie and people FP-ed accordingly but...I guess all of the offending posts were deleted? Which is weird.

They're all still there on the Trump got COVID thread

It’d be great if we could have dickheads being banned for a bit without this thread being bumped for clusterfuck purposes every time.

xpost OIC, I guess I didn't go back far enough in the thread.

gyac otm

had no idea what the banning and posts were ... not trying to start a clusterfuck tbh? As mod of the sub-board on which this thread resides, I thank you for your input.

we could have the bump without the clusterfuck tbf

oops xpost

afaik we've had some clusterfucks in here recently, but mostly this is a "hey how did this person get yellow-carded/banned, I missed it" thread.

this particular one doesn't seem to be clusterfucky, and I tend to not read the ones that turn into THIS BAN WAS UNJUST!

None of the posts were deleted - but yes the Burrito situation in an absolute open and shut case of what I was talking about re: failing or refusing to acknowledge the sensitivities of the posters around you and then doubling down on it when you've been asked to stop. Except yes in this case it was more like quadrupling down. The number of FPs spiralled really quickly on this one.

Burrito knew he'd be banned and I read it as a protest against new moral strictures. But idk, slightly weird hill to die on given how there are much more piquant ways to skewer the shambling ogres of the American right than 'tub of lard'

my read was that burrito's goal was to skewer the ~~~PC culture~~~ of people on the board who are ~~~too sensitive~~~; thus every post after the first time it was called out was motivated by trying to troll the room. really obnoxious, antisocial behavior imho; hope he comes back acting better.

I mean this person’s thing has been the sub-Gervais “does it offend you, yeah?” type sneer for the longest time, really as tedious as it was inevitable.

most people don't like to think about the lard in their burrito

in removing it, we've become a buncha rick baylesses. it's tortas at the airport for a week.

i don't feel strongly about the banning and agree burrito was asking for it. but burrito has some good qualities, and any comparison to Gervais is cruel.

reading the thread in question -- it seemed kinda a "gray area" to me, like I will hit the FP when I see fat-shaming most of the time, but ... it's kinda like going back to the Thatcher is Dead issue (from years ago) ... if a person in power is that horrible and oppressive, I feel less like policing people? But, enough other posters feel that is worth policing, so it is a relief to me (mostly in that I wouldn't want that decision to be only mine to make, because I have mixed feelings).

In other words, I'm not going to be posting the masturbating orangutan video in protest ... even though I do like burrito a lot

personal growth takes many forms

well I'm not gonna activate my wonder twin powers and invoke the form of masturbating orangutan youtube

trump's insatiable gluttony - for attention, for power, for irresponsibility and yes, for terrible fast food - is an undeniable part of what makes him such a repugnant figure. given his tremendous and misplaced vanity and loathing for anything not Maxim-approved as beauty, it's not a huge leap from there to mock him as "fat" as an easy way to hoist him by his own petard. one of the many rhetorical errors there is that playing the insult game by Trump's rules lowers you to his piggish level and unnecessarily sideswipes any number of people whose only association with this dipshit is a BMI in the same zipcode.

pointing out Trump's multilayered gluttony or infantile diet can be valid responses to his own attacks on other people's attitudes or his assessment of them physically. Chris Christie is not mocking anyone else for their body afaik.

Christie made his bones mocking people, he's a vicious asshole

lollll absolute freudian slip

oh shit I thought I actually wrote that

you guys are absolute dorks debating the merits of punching down on this fat asshole

I think it’s important that people remember that the bans under the new rules are temporary, lasting only seven days. unperson will be unbanned tomorrow, burrito just a few days later. Nobody’s “online existence” is under threat.

The rules themselves are potentially quite temporary as well, since we all agreed to just try this out for six months and then see what we think.

an interesting thing has been to watch the liberal media and their obsession with how fat trump is and how that means he will definitely die of COVID because he's a big fat slob

even though I don't think there is much data on links between obesity per se and COVID morbidity

fwiw I didn't kick this off to push anyone off the board but to point out that it's sad that this 'fat fuck tub of lard lol fattays' shite has gone p much unchecked on ilx since day one

I did flag the post, as I have done with every similar post I've encountered here for years

ok, maybe there is some data. but it still seems like there was a lot of luxuriating in pointing out that trump is fat and how that meant COVID was going to be worse for him (so much for that, it seems)
