Your Chance To Change The DC Forum For The Better

[Direckshun]

Hey folks. Regular DCers, and everybody else.

This past weekend I asked the forum what makes DC a cesspool in their eyes.

There were many answers. Some was that too many people are stupid. Some were that there are extremist conspiracy types that make discussion difficult.

But the overwhelming answer is that too many people act like recalcitrant assholes who too often shit on people instead of promoting a discussion.

So I thought I'd throw an idea out there. I brought this up for the mod team, and they told me that if I put it before the people and DC was interested, we could get something moving.

This is a suggestion for potentially increasing the quality of posting in ChiefsPlanet's DC forum. As we all know, this place is legitimately a cesspool. We all know it is, we all agree it's a mess of haters and idiots and conspiracy assholes.

For ten-plus years, ChiefsPlanet policy towards that forum is "light" moderation, which means the best possible course of action is to let the maniacs eat themselves, but mostly to just keep that shit out of the Lounge (which I don't blame the mod team for, not one bit). That policy has permitted the DC forum to be pretty rough for most posters to participate. And the few that do participate regularly aren't that big on it. We have a pretty high turnover rate in the forum.

A new suggestion: temporarily test out a new policy, which is that of elevated moderation. There's not a lot you can do about stupid people (myself included), or folks with extreme views, but there is plenty we can do about people just acting like assholes to be assholes. For a small period of time (like six months, or even three months), ChiefsPlanet could implement an Asshole Ban on DC, meaning everybody in that forum must be respectful, and refrain from simply shitting on people, at the risk of something like a 1-month DC ban.

That may require more moderation, which much of the mod team would be unwilling to do because, c'mon, this place is a cesspool. As a result, this forum would casually elect a DC Asshole Panel, which would be a four-person board (two liberals/Democrats, two conservatives/Republicans) who regular the forum and can signal instances of assholery to the mods for a temp ban. In order for the panel to officially tip off a mod, three of the four members must agree that the Planeteer in question is in fact acting like a genuine asshole.

All of this is a complicated way of saying that DC doesn't just have to be a trashcan to keep the Lounge clean. I've been on (and am on) other boards where the political forum is a thriving exchange of ideas. And I don't mean to rob DC of its sarcasm, wit, or ribald humor. Just the blatant assholery from all sides that makes it occasionally tough to bear.

I send this suggestion up for your consideration. The poll above will stand for a week. (I would like it if a mod could sticky this thread? Too much to ask?) At the end of the week, if we at least have a plurality in favor of testing an Asshole Patrol, we'll take the next steps which would include selecting which members we'd like to serve on it.

Poll forthcoming.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Yet you know the EXACT amount of times I've been banned and EVERY single one of my usernames.

You probably count them like sheep when you try to go to sleep, but you can't, can you? You keep coming back to the MB to make another post THAT NOBODY WANTS TO READ.

No, I was asking how many times you've been banned and how many accounts you've set up. I honestly don't know. I do know it's more than 4.

If you don't want to read my posts, why do you keep replying?

You are my puppet.

Perception. You fail at it.

Edit: And you obviously don't understand Pavlov. Color me not surprised.

Perception? How's this. You claim this is entertainment. In order for me to experience similar entertainment, I'd have to go post 10,000 times on Orange Mane, being a complete prick to everybody there, while I was universally detested, and somehow find enjoyment in that.

What do you for fun in the real world? Watch your wife **** real men?

I only go after certain posters. Color me not surprised you haven't noticed that.

And no one believes that you are anything other than a knuckle dragging racist piece of shit that gets banned from a Chiefs message board on a consistent basis.

Oh, I realize I'm getting the full powder puff treatment, but that really has no bearing at all on what I said.

Mr. Perception.

Listen asshole. You're not fooling anybody here with your bullshit. OK? Let's get that squared away. Second of all, you are far and away the most hated person in this forum. And you know what the sad part is? You don't try to be hated.

SHTSPRAYER? The Mad Crapper? He wanted to be hated. He worked at being hated. And succeeded.

Yet you, you big dope, you sit here and say that I fail at perception and yet you seem to think it was some kind of accident that the guy got banned.

Shit, half the time, I couldn't figure out how I was able to log in the next day after some of the shit I pulled.

And yet, you are so delusional that you actually think people here like you and you want to them to like you, you DESPERATELY NEED to be liked.

But it's not happening, is it?

Think about that, Rectum.

The guy you hate the most, ME, who has gone OUT OF HIS WAY to be hated and despised, is still MORE beloved and admired THAN YOU.

Well, the owner voted for Option A, so I guess in this case, Democracy will work.

So now you have multiple personality disorder?

In addition to your lack of perception, you are terrible at arm chair psychology.

Serious business.
