No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Not if you're ready to work it again, no.

I can upload what I still have, and pop in to bitches to see what they want to do with it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

From what I can remember, there are three things that need be done before the filter can go live:

  • fix spurious threadsuck posts
  • change language displayed on blocked posts
  • decide where the filter documentation lives, and write it

#1 and #2 are on Rob's list (the terminology -- was it to be "this post has been rendered blinvisble" or "invisible"?)

Any takers for #3? DX has already requested it be done in filk.

I'll volunteer for to write a non-filk documentation. I wouldn't be so good with filk.

change language displayed on blocked posts

The bullshit consensus compromise between the funny and simple seemed to be:

This post rendered blinvisible.

Note that the I'm changing the name tag for the FAQ entry to "filter" (before, it was "MARCIE").

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

This post rendered blinvisible.

I like this.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I didn't go through and tally all the opinions, but the vibe I got is that some folks feel as Kat does, and some would like something even more silly (like MARCIE), but that most fell somewhere in the middle.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Okay, I just experienced some numbering weirdness. After making this post:

DXMachina "Four and Twenty Natters: WHO ARE YOU BAKING FOR??!?!!?!" May 10, 2004 5:48:05 pm PDT

I clicked on message center, and was given this:

Clicking on Natter gave me this, with the post number greater than the total number of posts:

This lasted until someone else posted in Natter.

Trust my rage

DX - I've had this happen before. The last time was right when we broke in the new Natter thread.

So when might the user filter be going live?
