[21:43:25] <chromas> Please don't QA my devices. They're fragile and might start a fire.
[21:42:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> aight, i gots shit to do. don't think i'll be back until i get off the road tomorrow.
[21:41:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram comes over to your house and does QA on all your electronic devices.
[21:41:34] <NotSulla> Try it and see
[21:41:11] <chromas> So what happens if I modbomb with Spam? Do I get punished for invalid spam mods or for modboming?
[21:40:23] <chromas> I also pressed Lockout Changes
[21:40:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> as well it should
[21:40:03] <chromas> And the answer came one digit at a time while the rest cycled through all the possible values
[21:39:46] <chromas> Yes
[21:39:35] <AndyTheAbsurd> chromas: did your monitor act like a projector like it does in the movies, so we could read what your screen said on your face?

[21:37:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> #yt add it up violent femmes
[21:37:46] * chromas did the math on a window just like in the movies
[21:37:31] <chromas> It adds up
[21:36:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> so 26th?
[21:36:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> cept it started on the 19th
[21:36:42] <NotSulla> 23+7 should be 30
[21:36:34] <NotSulla> I think
[21:36:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> shit, i can't count. 30th is a week from now, right?
[21:35:47] -!- AzumaHazuki has quit [Quit: Lost terminal]
[21:35:42] <AzumaHazuki> and now I am off to go see said apartment and get the cat high as fuck off the 'nip
[21:35:33] <NotSulla> Only been six hours but things are looking quiet
[21:35:23] <NotSulla> Man this third kid is great, so far like no crying
[21:35:22] <AzumaHazuki> smart bird :v
[21:35:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> AzumaHazuki, yeah, that's what i said.
[21:34:58] <NotSulla> wow rude
[21:34:56] <AzumaHazuki> Uzzard, i have news: if I were actually malicious, there would be a lot more shit going down than me coming into IRC and bitching
[21:34:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> NotSulla, pffft, you're more fun to abuse.
[21:34:34] <NotSulla> I should have raised more hit over my mod ban
[21:34:25] <NotSulla> Wtf
[21:34:03] <NotSulla> Arist says everyone supporting business is a fascist, thats pretty far gone
[21:33:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> AzumaHazuki, anyway, official revised ruling from your overpaid SN corporate overlords: reread the mod faq and cool your heels for a week instead of six months since there likely wasn't malice happening. we all know your malice tends to be a bit more nuclear than that.
[21:33:42] <NotSulla> If vlm and jmo are then so is deathmonkey and arist
[21:33:23] <AzumaHazuki> there is something deeply and disturbingly wrong with those two
[21:33:11] <AzumaHazuki> VLM and J-Mo are actual sociopaths. I can feel the hollow metallic darkness across the internet
[21:32:50] <NotSulla> CO is pretty offputting though
[21:32:48] <AzumaHazuki> what makes you think we don't?
[21:32:43] <NotSulla> It seems balanced. For every eth we have a arist
[21:32:12] <NotSulla> Could be worse, we could have people from /pol/
[21:32:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> sometimes. sometimes not. depends on the story and who's around.
[21:31:17] <AzumaHazuki> let's face it, we have a lot of people not much better than him on this site. looks like the ass end of 8chan without the CP sometimes
[21:30:55] <AzumaHazuki> in theory we have enough mod points floating around. in practice they don't get used because hurr hurr politics
[21:30:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> NotSulla, 40:1, same as my weedeater
[21:30:39] <NotSulla> Bytram coolguy that he is gave me an update a while back
[21:30:26] <NotSulla> Speaking of which tmb, I would really appreciate knowing what my ratio is one of these days
[21:29:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> we got enough mod points floating around that it should get taken care of, even if he posts a hundred times a day.
[21:29:29] <AzumaHazuki> i was hoping a few counter-insults would give this idiot waterhead a clue and make him cut it out...
[21:29:09] <AzumaHazuki> and "If I choke you with my dick will you quit bitching?" is, shall we say, not conducive to productive debate
[21:28:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> no but again, glass houses n stones.
[21:28:30] <AzumaHazuki> that said, posts that are *just* insults don't really contribute anything
[21:28:00] <AzumaHazuki> that is a fact :v
[21:27:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> if getting on someone's last nerve by saying dumb shit were a crime, neither of us would ever be able to post again.
[21:26:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> we do but i disagree. we don't do punishment for speech round these parts unless it's fitting the spam definition.
[21:25:53] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Last Male Northern White Rhino Dies - http://sylnt.us - RIP-Sudan
[21:25:50] <AzumaHazuki> and while some flamebait-y things are good debate points, trolling for its own sake really ought to be hit harder
[21:25:28] <AzumaHazuki> well, we have users who seem to do almost nothing but troll
[21:24:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, it's not there for a karma hit. it's there for a comment score hit.
[21:23:57] <AzumaHazuki> i have a suggestion: troll mod needs to be somewhere in the -2 to -4 range, not -1
[21:23:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'll look. they still show in the mod bombs page
[21:23:22] <AzumaHazuki> someone undid the mods, it seems
[21:23:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> were there? i didn't see any repetitive ones that got marked spam
[21:22:50] <AzumaHazuki> only my girlfriend is allowed to do that :v
[21:22:35] <AzumaHazuki> three posts in a row of "I'm going to facefuck you into silence" don't count, huh?
[21:22:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> i see where you're coming from but it don't quite hit within our definitions of spam
[21:21:29] <chromas> I'd like to suggest a new mod: "-1, Jesus, dude!"
[21:21:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> can't really justify a ten point hit for someone being an imbecile though
[21:19:51] <AzumaHazuki> besides which, flamebait and troll mods don't seem to have any "bite" to them
[21:19:37] <AzumaHazuki> large volumes of near-zero signal-to-noise-ratio posts? that's pretty much the definition of spam
[21:18:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, those are him being a nuisance but not spam as we define it round these parts
[21:15:31] <AzumaHazuki> and most of them are contentless noise
[21:15:23] <AzumaHazuki> the user in question is "cocaine overdose." consider his entire post history: he's dropped over 100 comments in <3 days
[21:15:11] * chromas tacks an extra 0 onto TheMightyBuzzard's paycheck
[21:14:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> fine, damnit. i'll look. this is coming out of yall's pay though.
[21:14:03] <chromas> Was it an erroneous-spam-mod modban or a modbomb modban?
[21:14:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> no i mean if he was repeating himself not echoing someone else
[21:12:47] <AzumaHazuki> oh, he's not the "feces soup" guy. but what he was doing was close enough to copypasta to count, IMNSHO
[21:12:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, if he really was doing copy pasta, it's spam and the mods were legit. i don't have time to chase through them to check though.
[21:11:34] <NotSulla> I didnt make popcorn for nothing, get at it
[21:11:20] <AzumaHazuki> ...muffins for her, catnip for the cat. not, you know, muffins for the cat
[21:11:06] <AzumaHazuki> i'm bringing blueberry muffins and a catnip pillow for her kitty, so hopefully will be the one chosen to rent :)
[21:10:42] * TheMightyBuzzard grumbles and reads scrollback
[21:10:29] <AzumaHazuki> apartment*
[21:10:23] <AzumaHazuki> none yet. i have to go see a lady about an napartment in 20m
[21:09:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'm busy packing for a trip, what evil plans yall got to make me late for dinner?
[21:09:04] * Bytram yawns, too, and heads off for a much-needed nap.
[21:08:41] <AzumaHazuki> small-l-libertarianism is probably one of those "cognitive shortcuts" i hear so much about, and that is a problem the human race needs to address
[21:08:34] * Bytram is housesitting atm, and does not have access to his external kbd and monitor; lappy's are nowhere near as good. :/
[21:08:14] * MrPlow flips a Skittle into TheMightyBuzzard's gaping mouth
[21:08:14] * TheMightyBuzzard yawns
[21:08:06] <AzumaHazuki> nein, Mein Fuhrer. they are not here for debate and their minds, such as they are, are not amenable to change. they are here to *proselytize*
[21:08:02] LiterallyHitler is now known as NotSulla
[21:07:52] <Bytram> appreciate your understaning.\
[21:07:33] <AzumaHazuki> Oh, don't rush. I know these things take time
[21:07:27] <LiterallyHitler> Pssh, you can still debate blm and jmorris
[21:07:13] <Bytram> I said I would inform the staff, I have done so. It may be a while as we have a couple people on the road and one is recovering from surgery, never mind the tasks of keeping stories queued
[21:07:04] <AzumaHazuki> VLM and JMorris, for example.
[21:06:40] Sulla is now known as LiterallyHitler
[21:05:25] <AzumaHazuki> i don't know what it is about the smaller, more technical forums, but they always seem to attract the vilest sociopathic loonies...
[21:04:47] <AzumaHazuki> this place is turning into gab
[21:04:42] <AzumaHazuki> no it doesn't, Bytram. that's this place's dirty secret. a good chunk of the staff seems to be basically the same kind of person as some of our "demons"
[21:04:15] <Bytram> yup, and the community is well-equipoped to keep modding such posts as torll/flamebait -- maybe not immediately (doh!), but it all seems to work out in time
[21:04:13] <Sulla> He will sta here as long as people take the bait
[21:04:07] <AzumaHazuki> besides which, the site is overrun with "demons" if it comes to that
[21:04:04] <Sulla> You starve a troll not feed them
[21:03:52] <AzumaHazuki> i've been slaying demons (metaphorically) for years
[21:03:37] <Sulla> Dont let the devil drag you to hell with him
[21:03:14] <AzumaHazuki> but this isn't just about me. half or more of what he posts is this sort of contentless drivel
[21:02:50] <Sulla> Flame on the first post and not responding would have ended it
[21:02:42] <Bytram> there are times in the past when there was a discussion about whether a ban applied or not, and I have been the 'button pusher', but not in this cdase. that is correct.
[21:02:37] <Sulla> Looks to me like you earned it, I reread it. Just cause CO is trash doesnt justify abuse of the system. Flame maked him -1 just as good as spam.
[21:00:57] <AzumaHazuki> i have a good idea whose fault this is
[21:00:41] <AzumaHazuki> well, you didn't push the ban button, so you have nothing to be guilty of...
[21:00:20] <Bytram> and, indeed I am not in charge. the staff each has areas of expertise, but we check in with each other to keep others aware of what is going on, and at times have discussions on how to handle various circumstqances/situations.
[21:00:05] * chromas ATDTs
[20:59:19] <AzumaHazuki> Sulla: about 17 or 18 years, I think. I got on very late because hurr hurr poor and what is modem
[20:59:13] * Bytram curses his laptop kbd
[20:58:40] <AzumaHazuki> since you're not in charge you said
[20:58:33] <AzumaHazuki> Bytram: that wasn't directed at you
[20:58:24] <Bytram> and, I really do not apprecdiate being insulted when I am trying to help.
[20:58:10] <Sulla> Mod flame and move on, dont feed trolls
[20:58:07] <Bytram> I said right at the outset that I would listen and pass along your input, and I *WILL* do that.
[20:58:03] <Sulla> How long have you used the internet?
[20:57:25] <AzumaHazuki> probably not
[20:57:16] <AzumaHazuki> well, i don't know a polite way of saying "the way you're handling this is such dogshit i'm amazed your shoes don't squelch," so...
[20:56:40] <Bytram> is there anything else that you would like me to communicate to the rest of the team about this particular incident?
[20:55:44] <AzumaHazuki> they see "nice" as weakness, and i don't like to bluff or make threats I won't follow up on
[20:55:21] <Bytram> I understand the need to respond... and to not get walked over, but "a good offense makes the best defense" tends to bring on far more vitriole in the long run... start nice, learn how to growl, and only THEn would I bite.
[20:55:20] <AzumaHazuki> and that is why I have a habit of taking the law into my own hands after exhausting the usual avenues and inevitably being disappointed
[20:55:14] <AndyTheAbsurd> but not often
[20:55:11] <AndyTheAbsurd> occasionally if something happens RIGHT UNDER THEIR NOSE they'll feel compelled to do something about it
[20:54:51] <AndyTheAbsurd> ^ that's usually true
[20:54:33] <AzumaHazuki> in my experience, The Powers That Be (whoever and whatever they may Be) don't give a shit about injustice, they just want not to be bothered
[20:53:39] <AzumaHazuki> i have never forgotten this. because i got in trouble, but i didn't get picked on any longer
[20:53:22] <AzumaHazuki> know what stopped my bully problem? in seventh grade i broke a girl's nose and three of her ribs, and apparently almost collapsed a lung
[20:53:03] <AzumaHazuki> Bytram, it has been my experience that bullies only learn from pain. I "took the high road" for years and it just got me hurt (and if you think girls don't get physical, well...)
[20:52:15] <Bytram> yes, this is the internet... and you've been on it long enough to know that it takes two. Yes, it is not easy to take the high road and cut off the back-and-forth, but in the long run it is far less work.
[20:51:08] <AzumaHazuki> large volumes of contentless noise is pretty much the definition of spam
[20:50:56] <AzumaHazuki> but this asshole kept it up, and kept it up, and i warned him he was being both offtopic and contentless, i.e., spamming.
[20:50:35] <Bytram> if one tosses insults around, do not be surprised if they are returned
[20:50:31] <AzumaHazuki> usually replies like that get snark from me, then troll or flamebait mode
[20:50:01] <Bytram> from my perspective, I would have modded 656351 as trollbait
[20:48:42] <AzumaHazuki> yes. rather than immediately downmod an asshole, i prefer to asshole back first. *First.*
[20:48:19] <Bytram> here's what I see: jmorris posted a comment (656273); you replied. (656351) part of which contained "God, you are an irredeemable piece of shit. Choke on David Duke's dick and die already will you?" then, in (656413) CO posted "If I choke you with my dick, does that mean you'll stop bitching"... and in reply (656439) you replied "How? You'd need one of those precision microcaliper things to even get a grip on it..."...
[20:46:48] <AzumaHazuki> and I'm not Mrs. Popular on here because I give fewer fucks than Deadpool barebacking a rabid honey badger while the both of them are high on PCP and will fight ANYONE
[20:46:35] <Sulla> Im libertarian too and I got banned for I feel justifibly spam modding ari
[20:46:08] <AzumaHazuki> Sulla, this place is run by "libertarians." They talk a good game about freedom of speech and high signal-to-noise ratio, but they're as human and biased as anyone else
[20:45:25] <Sulla> I feel that any justification for spam ban that gets +5 should be revoked
[20:45:03] <Sulla> Make a journal entry ari style (no insult) and let public opinion judge

[20:41:01] <AzumaHazuki> er...
[20:40:57] <AzumaHazuki> okay, let's try going to Are we done here? I'll start Spam-modding anything in a similar vein, as it's both contentless and off-topic.
[20:40:38] <Bytram> I am willing to help, but please don't make me pull he's teeth, okay?
[20:40:38] <AzumaHazuki> Bytram: the link doesn't show the rest of the subthread? when i click it i see the entire thing
[20:40:11] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: FYI, I just got off working 6 days straight, this is my day off, I would really rather be taking a nap right about now, and this site is run by volunteers... we get no pay of any kind for our efforts. So, if you want some help, it woulkd be a good idea to make it as easy as possible for those you are *asking* for help to be able to do so.
[20:40:04] <AzumaHazuki> Sulla: yes, I deserved the first one, but not this one. Bytram: i think we;re talking past one another here. That link I gave you, does it not also show several follow-up comments, includng my warning to him?
[20:39:02] <Sulla> Ianam but also have been mod banned in the past (disputed but thats fine), but it seems you had back and forth troll/flame and then you warned and then spam modded next comment?
[20:38:17] <Bytram> done, or undone... could you please provide links to each of the comments where you warned that you would start modding as spam?
[20:37:12] <AzumaHazuki> the Spam mods seem to have been undone, by the way
[20:37:02] <AzumaHazuki> the one i linked you to doesn't show the rest of the subthread?
[20:35:50] <Bytram> please do not take out your anger on me... I am trying to understand what has happened. I am asking for links to the comments where you "warned three times" that you would then mod as spam.
[20:34:31] <AzumaHazuki> (yes, you learned a new word today)
[20:34:26] <AzumaHazuki> this is after three comments along the same lines, which all added up to "I'm going to irrumate you to shut you up" more or less
[20:34:01] <AzumaHazuki> that comment i linked contains the rest of the subthread. My reply was "Are we done here? I'll start Spam-modding anything in a similar vein, as it's both contentless and off-topic.
[20:32:57] <exec> <Bytram> so inwhich comment did you warn that you would mod as spam?

[20:27:33] <Sulla> Unsure that guys problem, has made the site obnoxious recently
[20:26:59] <AzumaHazuki> do yourself a favor and look at "cocaine overdose's" psot history
[20:26:44] <Bytram> me goes back up to THAT comment's parent
[20:26:41] <AzumaHazuki> i realize that, because I tend to kick uzzard and runaway up and down the aisle, i'm not one of the popular people on site. but there is no excuse for this
[20:26:31] <Bytram> that sounds like an invitation for a reasoned discussion?

[20:21:48] <AzumaHazuki> i'll tell you what's up. i got a 6 freaking month mod ban for warning "cocaine overdose" that repeated posts along the lines of "if i choke you with my dick will you shut up?" would be modded Spam, and then doing it as promised after the third or fourth time

[19:20:31] <Bytram> as for timer between comment postings, there is not a single timer... there are, IIRC, different delays for ACs, logged-in users, and for subscribers.
[19:19:13] <Bytram> if you read the FAQ, you'll learn that the code which supports SoylentNews was taken from an [outdated, nonfunctioning] version of the code that ran slashdot, that we have modified and made those changes freely available to others.
