HOW IRONIC IS IT THAT TWO PEOPLE BANNED FROM TEH NOIZE BOARD WERE AT THE BLACK DICE/ANIMAL COLLECTIVE SHOW TONITE?

Seriously, the point of it was to keep this bullshit off ILE/ILM. What say modz?

Oddly enough, I just did that, but it was because of your NOT HELPING ANY WITH THE DAMN PICTURE FLOOD AND ATTITUDE.

I agree that the thread devolved into an argument that if anywhere might have belonged here, if only due to questions of board etiquette. I have no interest in getting involved in a personal spat between Jaymc and Hstencil. Adding fuel to the fire, however, is dumbass.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 20 August 2004 13:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Seriously, JW, you have your playground. Keep the antics IN the playground. You're not being rewarded with a thread locking because you asked for it, you're trying to have your cake and eat it too. I'm not impressed.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 20 August 2004 13:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I thought my posts were brining perspective and levity! I mean, come on, what a perfect metaphor.

Anyway, I realized that was on ILM not ILE!

Thanks anyway, Neddy! :/

As I figured, everybody on this board is a total retard.

Ned, could you keep it locked? There's no real reason for this thread.

I request that you leave it open. There's no real reason to lock it.

Stence, there may have been no real reason for the thread in the first place, but there is also no real reason to get into these kind of arguments to begin with. If you had a problem with this thread in the first place, you could have asked about it here rather than getting into it over there.

This is from the man that locks threads on topics that have been covered previously

Let me know when you address a relevant point, please.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 20 August 2004 14:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't see a point to starting a thread here about a thread there. I didn't want it locked at first (and certainly didn't last night when I posted to it - which btw there would've been no moderators around to lock it had I asked for that), but I do think locking it and then unlocking it is weirdly inconsistent and only begs for more trouble (and I don't mean JW posting pictures). I also think, based on my reading of the FAQ, it has absolutely no place on ILM.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 20 August 2004 14:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Should my question go on ILM or ILE?
If your question isn't anything to do with music, you should post it on ILE.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 20 August 2004 14:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Can threads be deleted? What is locking a thread?
Threads can be deleted but we don't like to do it often and will not delete a thread apart from in exceptional circumstances. These include:

- Libellous threads. If we think a thread might be libellous it might be deleted. This hasn't happened very often.

- Personal threads. If a thread is started discussing a registered user or their actions, that user has the right to ask for it to be deleted or locked. The thread does not have to be an attack on the user. This does not apply to threads users start themselves and later regret.

- Offensive threads. At their discretion, moderators can delete entire threads which are likely to cause offence. It happens very rarely - threads which are racially or sexually abusive are the most likely. Even then moderators might not delete the thread, if an offensive question seems likely to provoke debate. If you find a thread offensive, please say on the thread or email a moderator about it.

The other sorts of threads that will get deleted are unanswered duplicate threads and spam by unregistered users (see below).

Locking a thread involves changing the settings so the thread survives but new answers cannot be posted to it. This has in the past been used as a compromise between deletion and non-deletion for controversial threads, but is more likely to be used when several threads on the same topic occur at the same time - eg when a big news event takes place and gets discussed on ILE, moderators may lock threads to minimise confusion.

If you have a specific post you want deleted or edited - because it is offensive or gives away personal information for instance - you can alert the moderators to it by posting a thread here.

jon i deleted it because you made a good point in your first post on this thread. dont't get uppity.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 20 August 2004 14:54 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm going to delete anything on ilm that's just contentious, argument starting bullshit. if a thread gets to 100 posts and its just baiting and insults, i'm not going to weep for the loss for the community.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 20 August 2004 14:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Should my question go on ILM or ILE?
If your question isn't anything to do with music, you should post it on ILE.

My thread did have to do with music! I started it to talk about the Black Dice/Animal Collective show, and if you read the first part of the thread, that's what I was doing until you and Dean came along!

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 20 August 2004 14:57 (twenty-one years ago)

the first part of the thread is the title

and if the higher ups don't like that, they can remove me as a mod. but "do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law" seems like where we are now.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 20 August 2004 14:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Jaymc, please don't be disengenuous here -- as JW notes, the subject line was an attempt to bait and you succeeded.

Jess, I don't mind your deleting the thread. The temporary lock was an attempt to see whether people could let it go after a little while -- and I was obviously wrong.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 20 August 2004 15:00 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, jay, no offense for deleting it. i like you. but it was obviously baiting.

but it doesnt matter. you know how like when you were 12 and you were caught arguing with your siblings and your parents pulled the "i don't care who started it or what it's about, i'm finishing it"? yeah.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 20 August 2004 15:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Seriously: it was not meant to bait anyone! I was trying make light of my status as a banned member of the Noise Board, which I do actually find amusing when I'm not being ridiculed.

But I concede that it was perhaps an error in judgment.

Well, he doesn't respond to it. But that doesn't mean he brushes it off with a chuckle.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 20 August 2004 15:06 (twenty-one years ago)

BTW, I don't mind that you deleted the thread, Jess. I'm pretty sure Hstencil had a chance to read my lengthy reply to him, so that's all I care about at this point.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 20 August 2004 15:08 (twenty-one years ago)

While we're on a deletion tip, the Marcello vs K-Punk thread was doing nobody any favours and since K-Punk fairly obviously isn't a music site any more there was no need for it on ILM.

It's not really appropriate for the noise board. If there was an emo board, I'd post it there.

Once again, I asked to be banned. So why would I be mad?

― n.a. (Nick A.), Friday, 20 August 2004 18:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I am declining to answer this shit. Emo or not, if that fucker keeps bringing up that thread, I'm gonna go to Chicago and personally knock the shit out of his Dulli-lookin' ass.
(wait, I guess that's an answer, and pretty emo too.)

Way to go, asshole, physically threatening me on a board where you know I can't respond to you. I promise I will never respond to anything you write anywhere on ILX again. I'm seriously asking you to do the same with my posts, though I'm pretty sure you're just going to make fun of me for doing so. I have no interest in discussing anything with you, and you obviously have no interest in discussing anything with me.

And ILX mods, I know we've been through this before, but is there seriously nothing I can do about another ILXor, one who posts a LOT on ILE and ILM, making physical threats against me on the Noise Board?

short response: if you don't take any responsibility for your constant jibing and poking on a topic that should've been closed ages ago despite several requests for you to stop, then you deserve to feel "threatened."

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 20 August 2004 19:11 (twenty-one years ago)

i think i might of been banned or blocked? from the noiseboard cause i registerd with one name and email, and then i delete those when i post cause i want to use fake names but i wasnt thinking of this when i registered cuz i was dumb.

but now i am getting ilx reset emails, but they dont seem to work and i emailed jon williams but his email seems to be fake or is bouncing or something.

anyways, the above email is my real email and someone please sort this out and i guess i can just use my real name and addy from now on,

thanks for the help

Nah, it was late ... I think it may have been the night that I discovered the thread where he and gygax! snickered at me for having "discovered" Tara Jane O'Neil, but I think I only found it because the argument led me to search for Noise Board threads where I was mentioned. I don't know what precipitated the argument in the first place, except that the thread title was baiting noizers, I suppose. I think you told me that Animal Collective wasn't noise.
