No, I know about DC.

2000 on the Star board, which led to the creation of CP, was worse than 2004 or 2008.

The whole reason to create DC in 2004 was to avoid what happened at the Star.

If it were allowed, politics would easily takeover football in the main forum, just like it did at the Star. The other binary option was to ban politics altogether, which is what the Star chose, and ultimately led to a mass exodus to CP.

The DC Lounge was the compromise.

Okay, now since you mentioned that, I now understand the dilemma here....

That mass exodus wouldn’t happen today, because the people it would upset offer no value to the board as a whole.

There’s over 10k members here and the decision to keep DC is being driven by *maybe* 40 people.

You’ve been around a long time - longer than me - how does this board suffer if DC is eliminated and politics is banned from discussion?

Keep in mind, this decision was made 16 years ago (to create DC). This board wasn't then what it is now by any stretch.

Which is why it needs to be addressed now, “tradition” be damned.

Why is it so hard for you to ignore opinions you disagree with. Just stay out of DC and you won’t have any problems. I don’t really think you’re cut out to hold your own in there anyway so it would probably be for the best.

If the trash would stay there, it wouldn’t be an issue now would it?

I don’t go there. The garbage leaks through the bag.

If it breaks you, report it to the moderators and maybe they’ll help. It seems extreme to ban an entire sub forum that you don’t even visit. Also, you might want to avoid politicized NFL games.

Those who do not learn fro history are bound to repeat it.

Food for thought.

I used to post in DC and on very rare occasions I might drop in so I think it has some value.

What I longed believed in though is those non-Chief fans that don't participate in the Lounge should be perma-banned or make DC read only for them. Doesn't matter what side of the political aisle they are on, they are here to troll and provide zero value.

I think you would see a change in tone\vitriol once that happens IMHO.

Just my .02 cents.

I agree, except the problem isn’t necessarily non-Chiefs fans. Wanna post in DC? You’re stuck there.

It’s a football board. Decide why you’re here and stick with it.

This is a terrible solution.

Why punish people who follow the rules as well?

Funny how people bitch about the NFL being politicized, but are perfectly content having a space to spread their hate and conspiracies on a football message board...

Thats fine during the season and about draft time other than that its dead here. DC offers a reason to post and see if there is anything worth following in the lounge.
