ADMIN LOG WATCH 2

xp just curious as to what gets the fps flying in though, is all people are commenting on. You can be as racist, xenophobic, sexist as you like on Ilx as long as you couch it in enough language, and crüt made an excellent point about how we treat each other on here, but the stuff I’m mentioning is stuff that afaict is never factored in by fellow posters. Certainly not in the form of fps or bans.

OK, I thought you were joking about Comrade Alphabet! The moral is don't annoy American posters on threads they consider their territory, like threads about Ukraine.

...and every other thread except football, UK politics and The Irish.

I'm all for love-ins.

Poster xyzzzz__ has been here a long long time, and has always made the board a more interesting and amusing place. He shouldn't be banned.

As Doctor Casino suggested, the numbers have it. However it’s interesting than Ukpol ilx doesn’t ever take scalps like this - are we thicker skinned/finding different things offensive?

I don't think there's enough of us to get anyone banned lol

Good thing people can say what they like to us then 🤗

surely the number of "fuck offs" is comparable. Could never be explained by an imbalance in the flow of "fuck offs".

yes, profanity seems to be the main difference between calz/xyzz and the other side of the trenches on that ukraine thread, wouldn't have thought that to be the ILX red line but live and learn

Aimless has been 20-FP'd for condescending sexism before IIRC

As Daniel said, not enough of us. Also, like NV, I'm not sure I've ever FPed anyone for calling me a dickhead, or whatever.

xp see I would have found your callousness to/about me re covid thread posting a lot more offensive than being told to fuck off, but We’re All Different and thank fuck for that.

Homophobia too iirc, though that was fairly eye watering.

xps to Sufjan

"fuck off" is so impersonal and bland I can't imagine fp'ing someone for that. I didn't flag calzino, but when I saw this post, his subsequent ban wasn't exactly a surprise: ok what the fuck is happening in the ukraine

I don't give a fuck about profanity. I fp'd xyz because he was belligerently misrepresenting other people's posts, which was shitting up an already bad thread. I fp'd someone he was arguing with for the exact same reason; that poster remains unbanned, so maybe there is some kind of sides-taking going on idk

As I said, good to see which belligerent misrepresentation gets the fps flying in. Glad others noticed.

Everybody but Sharivari and Fizzles should be banned from that thread.

tom d. is a dickhead

(just testing something here)

But he’s our dickhead

Nb I also love Tom D

(xp) Here, you, that's bang out of order!

... so it is.

always assumed it stood for 'DeLonge'

*posts tweet about Tucker Carlson*

idk i pretty quickly decided i had better not post on that thread at all since, as a US ilxor, anything i say that contains a whiff of negative judgment toward vp's invasion of ukraine will immediately be deplored as "rallying behind biden" or "wanting boots on the ground" or "turning this into a us politics thread" or "cosigning us foreign policy atrocities" etc etc

it's fine as I just want an ongoing understanding of what's transpiring rn

i have never FPd anyone ftr

also ftr as a child of the 80s i absolutely under no circumstances want us boots on the ground

also xyzzz is a super tiresome unfunny troll (i like calzino)

please send me my 'melt' badge by international priority thx

wouldn’t waste the money on something we can already see thx

also this is why people hate Americans in that thread

“It’s complicated”
“Wow I guess we have some Putinists here EH COMRADE”

Also if Americans are being silenced by fear of that then damn I wish it worked better cos last glance the thread was full of shit and getting worse

would also suggest the response to people going like “why is Tucker Carlson being brought up here “ was not ok, but you know, we established this was a numbers game a while ago.

break out the skin calipers everyone!

What a normal and useful thing to post, but I guess irrelevant beats callous any day

just thinking that it's only been a little over a hundred years since we had a "not our problem" policy

tbf it was a "not our problem but we own everything west of Europe" policy but yeah i know the shift is something

not saying America was ever a great country ... just that at some point it was less shitty in some ways idk

yeah i know you weren't, just pedanting about the "Europe is none of our business" era not equating to being above other kinds of colonial adventure

thought we wanted less US pol thread spillover

I get to decide what counts as spillover, mate

oh shit, caught by the fuzz!

Took VHS long enough to hit 20, but I guess there’s only so long you can continue making a fucking war about yourself and your ilx beefs.

tbf it was also about his armchair general fantasies

True but I was also including that in “about himself”. Maybe he’ll do something useful with the time, like signing up.

i appeal for calm on all sides

It's funny how telling Americans to fuck off is the most punitively addressed thing on ILX, I guess as in life

the beatles must be stewing over this

Good morning!

for the record

if an american throws popcorn at another american in a movie theater, the corned american can legally murder the thrower with a gun (in florida). so americans themselves aren't immune.

I didn't fp anyone, but if the linked post did calz in, it's because he called someone a "tool", making all self-conscious about their age. Americans want to forget the Jerky Boys.

look under the well-understood fp system its no good complaining that:

- ppl shouldnt be banned
- the wrong ppl have been banned

we should ofc be complaining that far too few ppl have been banned and demanding more from our mods

what are your demands, dear darragh?
