I do not agree that Satyr’s permanent banning is just, BUT, I can see how, from YOUR point of view you might think it is just so it is pointless to try and convince you otherwise, especially since Satyr doesn’t seem to be all that interested in posting at ILP other than exposing idiots, which he can do at KT undisturbed, by simply linking to ILP. But compared to the likes of you and Satyr, I am a relatively new member here, so I have no idea what happened here some 5 or 10 years ago.
But just to make it clear, no, I am not here to argue that Satyr should be unbanned or whether his banning is just (would be a pointless argument as I said). I only take for granted that he is banned, but not that his ideas are.
From what I see of Lys’s posts, she wasn’t spamming. She mostly posted in the rant house in 2 threads (as far as I know, one can post as much as they want in rant, especially in their own threads), and posted a post or two in about 5 non-rant threads, in 2 days. That is far from spamming, that is normal and average posting. You want to know what’s spamming?
Spamming is when people like LaughingMan manage to rack up over a thousand posts in 1-3 months. The guy hasn’t posted for 7 months now and still has more posts per day than Lys, and he joined after.
Or look what HatingMeIsEasier has done to Science subforum, countless threads about nothing and bullshit that barely deserves Rant House, and yet it was allowed in Science of all places. The guy claimed he had cured cancer and will achieve immortality with numbers, and most of his posts consist of basic fucking arithmetics.
Or mr reasonable, who has 6.5 posts per day and 20,000 posts overall, how many of them are philosophy? Only a few, highlighted by Lys in this post: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=188004&p=2544847#p2544954
So the few posts that guy contributed that ARE philosophy, are nothing but copy-pasted texts from other philosophers. Yet it was allowed, he made entire threads of it, and NOT in rant, mind you. As for the rest of his 20,000 posts, he mostly spammed the offtopic section with his inane daily routines, letting us know what he ate, how much weed he smoked, or how many crackwhores he exploited and convinced to have sex with him.
Now THAT is disturbing.
So compared to all those people who were allowed to post here without being banned, now I am supposed to believe that Lys, who joined here the same month and same year that I did (January, 2014) yet has only 700 posts and 1.6 posts per day, compared to my 2000, is the one spamming when numbers say that there are plenty of other posters here, including MagsJ the moderator and myself, who would much more easily qualify for a spammer than her?
Carleas, either you are innocently ignorant of this (indeed, to the extent that ignorance can be innocent), or you are intentionally ignoring it. There are plenty of other users here who ‘spam’, according to your standards of what it means. Did iambiguous not make entire threads where he just quotes famous personas and says a line or two, or merely links to a song and/or lyrics and adds nothing else? And you know what, I personally am fine with it, sometimes I even had fun reading it.
So what, does Lys need to quote Satyr and then write “yeah” or “I agree with that” below, to make it look less ‘spammish’ and add something of her own? That’s silly. If Lys and Satyr have the same positions, and she thinks Satyr expressed them in an adequate manner, why should she waste time adding anything?
Turd, I had some respect for you when I first saw you post here. The more I read you, the more you sound like an ordinary turd.
EDIT: Carleas,
Doesn’t Lys always include in quotations who the author of the text is? I mean, she quotes alot, yes, but sometimes she even quotes herself, but I don’t see that as spammy or banworthy itself, just her posting style. It is the same at KT, I don’t perceive any ill intent at all in that regard.
Can you find me one instance of her quoting a text and not somehow referring whose text she is posting? I didn’t manage to find it, myself.
