ChiefsPlanet Should this BB be more tightly moderated? - Page 11

**luv** · 08:17 AM

Due to recent events, just thought I'd pose the question.

While I don't think posters should think mods will do something just because they want them to, I do think there are a few things that should be considered out of bounds that aren't. On the other hand, I've learned to just go with the flow. Do I comment back knowing that I will sound like a whiny bitch sometimes? Sure. It's entertaining. Also, people need some drama. I'd rather have mine on a BB than IRL.

What say ye?

Same here. I wanted to head up into the mountains try to take some shots of it, but the clouds punked me as well.

No, we don't need tighter moderation. On a personal level, I'd like to see slurs against homosexuals treated as harshly as slurs against race/ethnicity. But I'm fine with the very loose moderation. It's what makes ChiefsPlanet my favorite board on the internet.

It's just blowhard bull.

Dane left?

I don't mind being the token mod dude, but it'd be nice to have someone else with power weighing in on key issues or at least around a lot so that if a porn spammer shows up it can be cleaned up quickly.

I vote for me.

AKA, the old Star board ring any bells??? (***I never had that experience mind you...)

Listen, I'm a freaken Raiders fan, one of 4 who has been here longer than most Chiefs fans,,,WHY??
Through all the BS, and "friendly" good humor smaque, it's probably one of the ONLY Message BB's on the net you can show up at, and ...well just be you.
Be it an obniouxious drunken you, a stoned funny you, a depressed having a bad day need cheering up you, a mad at the world gonna kill someone if I don't vent you, ...Get the picture?

I'm not the only none who at times has used it as more of a Venting blog, than a message BB. And trust me, when it comes to world events and whats going on...Skip the newspapers, or CNN, you'll almost ALWAYS find it posted here first.

The Planet has 2-300 core members who over the years have become one great big disfunctional family. We can hate someone on Monday, but god forbid a member of their family were hurt, in surgery, and in need of, all they would have to do is come in here to get a few well wishes.

Yes lines do get crossed, but each of us have a different tolerance for "abuse".

Bottom line, don't come in here with a chip on your shoulder, and you won't have it removed and shoved up your azz.

I did when I first showed up, had the flyen pinapple feed me my chip in FINE style.
I ate my crow, sat back, and enjoyed what the Chiefsplanet really is all about. Once I learned to shut my mouth, till I knew the folks a bit better. Started taking tit a bit too serious due to other background things going on, blew my cork, typed my fuk you all i'm outa here, spent 2 months refusing to even look at the place, then the rest of a year lurking, again, came back, ate my shit sandwich for being foolish, and moved on.

Some of you here can't stand me, fine, I got no prob with that, you've had 10 years to make that opnion, as I have about a few folks.
But the friends I have made are great ones.
You've seen me through a shit load of lifes troubles as I have seen you also help others, thats what makes this place unique..

Havent had the pleasure of actually meeting anyone face to face yet, but do look forward to someday having my ass hazed when I show up at Arrowhead for a Chiefs home game in my Plunkett, Gannon, or Stabler jersey, fried outa my tree screaming Newfie slang with my "cute Irish brouge" dialect as it's been called... getting laughed at, and smaqued to hell and back, all teh while being given a beer From Phobia, a hotdog from Fraz, a smile from Luv, a high 5 from Flopnutts, another blunt spun up from seclark, and a jap slap to the head from Rausch, a warning shot from Bwana all while DaFace laughs so hard at it all he nearly loses beer out his nose.

And why?...Cuz CP is fine just the way it is. And if you actually take any insults in here perswonally more than 30seconds AFTER you log out,,,ya need to take a step back from the puter and look at life a bit more.

AND IT AIN'T NEARLY SAID ENOUGH.....

THANK YOU FOR CREATING IT KYLE

****ing awesome post.

The 100kph wind driven snow fluries kinda gave me some real white looking pics

I did get a few though:
1) This was the view from my back yard

2) This was from teh front deck:

3) Here`s one of the Mrs and the little guy with teh moon in the back ground.

Like I said, they kinda turned out a bit white

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

Whether it's comments about ****ing mothers, AIDS shrubbery, 400lb man sodomization, dying breeds, or a litany of other hateful, vile, venomous comments strewn about in all directions, this is what we've become.

How could ANYTHING at this point be off limits? How could one possibly know what is "acceptable" and what is not. This comes down to the base core of our dynamic at Chiefsplanet. Will we be moderated, or will we not?

Overwhelmingly, time and time again, we've chosen to not be moderated. We are largely, a group of men who understand that the internet can be a dangerous place for the emotionally weak. Everyone gets their feelers hurt every once in a while and ultimately we are responsible for whether or not we choose to be a part of this community. And let's face it, our policy makes it a whole lot better for the lulz.

I'm sorry Dane has left. I like that dude. More than he likes me in all probability. But I can't think of 1 single person on this board that has thrown more shit at more different posters than he has. You think he hasn't personally offended some of them in ways that hit close to home in their personal lives? That would be near impossible, IMHO, and frankly, I don't give a shit, you don't give a shit, and he never gave a shit. In this place, what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

If we're going to make anything out of bounds, we need to rewrite the whole ****ing book if you ask me. We've been out of bounds for years now. We were out of bounds before out of bounds was cool. What's it going to be? Is it time to change? As much as I hate losing a quality poster like Dane, I hope it's not time to change. Like I said, the way we do it is much better for the lulz.

This was my post on this subject in the Dane thread. It fits this thread better, so I'm dropping it here.
