Policy reminder - Page 3

11:05 AM

ChiefsPlanet is a source of news for our members, lurkers, and sometimes even the paid media. We take pride in this. Many of our members no longer frequent their old Chiefs news haunts because everything hits here as soon as it is available. We've even been known to scoop the traditional media at times. We have a good thing going here and we'd like to preserve the good reputation we've earned in cyperspace.

Posting unconfirmed speculation as fact will not be tolerated. Posting same as a joke without some distinguishable sattire "tell" will not be tolerated. These are bannable offenses. If somebody heard it on the radio in Japan, you better identify that questionable source so we know to take it with a grain of salt. If you got it off the Star's BB, that's okay but please identify your source. If you don't want to ID your source, then post it as an opinion or a guess - not fact.

Another reminder: if you cut and paste an article from anywhere else, please leave a courtesy link. If there is no link, your thread is at risk for deletion. ChiefsPlanet could actually get in trouble for this practice.

Thanks for your attention.

The problem is, that we're all so desperate for news that we want to hear..............we're all gullible enough to end up on a snipe hunt.

"hey guys, I've got my gunnysack.....should I just stand by this tree until you say when?"

We are going to need a second or third source to dispell that

So if I get an account at the Star BB, and say X player has signed with the Chiefs, I can then come over here and quote the Star BB like Roy17?

That is a policy of ours. Have you noticed users becoming lax? I'll keep an eye out.

Eventually we're going to ban all the posters in there anyway, so it's kinda moot.

Weird.

Maybe some poeple don't know how to post links?

--Chiefsplanet Announcement--

The Office of Commissioner AustinChief would like to remind everyone that it has always been our policy to suppress unconfirmed rumors and innuendo regarding free agents at this time of year.

We have, however, decided to start ENFORCING the rule better, in effort to improve the board as a whole.

Thank you.
