Life The Evolution of the Planet - Page 31

I think to understand the nature of the problem that exists here today it is important to reflect on how we arrived here. For those that don’t know, ChiefsPlanet was created to get around the vast restrictions placed on posters in KC Star. It was a huge success right off the bat and we were rolling. IMO those first months we ended up with a lot of really great posters and only a couple bad ones. As time went on CP has attracted more and more people who love not having restrictions and unlimited subjects to discuss which was great other than the fact that that many thought those threads were polluting the forum with people arguing all the time over subjects that didn’t even involve football. I posted a poll asking the membership if they wanted another forum for off topics and it passed by a landslide and the people who run this BB were gracious enough to create it and DC was born.

That has worked for a long time now with this almost no holds barred format. Once again this type of forum has been attractive to people who love the open debate that can take place here but unfortunately over many years it has attracted more and more trolls who like using the structure here to do nothing more than try to get under posters skin and will do anything in order to do that. It’s also allowed posters like frazod to thrive here being the poster child of bad psychology. Talk about no boundaries with a strong desire to bust in others and dump. This has attracted more in the like, can anyone say KCN? The trolls have grown as well in this forum in a kind of perfect storm way. What we have today is a forum saturated with trolls and posters with the psychology of a 13 year old psychopathic girl on her first period. IMO this is costing us many potential good posters who would make this a better place to come to and has also seen us lose many quality long term posters. To complicate matters the moderators that reside here are fine with posters posting anything they want about you and your family members short of a racist remark heaven forbid just as long as you don’t do it to them which is now creating two different cultures that exist within the planet. If they think that it is hostile now they haven’t seen anything yet should this persist.

IMO at this point nothing short of a cleansing designed to rid the planet of trolls and bloody vaginas that have no control is exactly what this place needs to regain its former greatness. There was a time when I posted a thread about a family member and their battle with cancer and asked for prayers and support. Today there is no chance of me doing something like that here as I have no desire to see somebody post the nastiest thing they can think of at that point. For the old timers it should be easy to see the huge difference in where we were and where we are now. My 2 cents.

i'm pretty much a dc poster almost all the time...

the occasional drama thread like this one in the lounge also draws my interest...

i must be a bad person...

Oh yeah, well I do invite inviting people to this board because it's one of a kind. It's informative and funny.

I have always lurked here since the board started. Regardless of how the board has morphed and changed it is the best Chiefs BB! I am very thankful for this place. I love getting my Chiefs fix here year round and love the variety of non-Chiefs topics as well. Thanks to everyone for making this a daily internet stop for me.

Who are the members that joined and participate based on your invite?

I have no clue if any of them have actually joined or not. However, I do recommend this place all the time - even to non-Chiefs fans.

We have to stop acting like it's ok to have REALLY RUDE behavior because they will grow out of it, or that's just the way the new generation is. Screw bad behavior, vitriolic attacks and just plain shitty personalities...if you can't have a decent civilized discussion then GTFO.

I understood your first analogy, I was asking about specifics. How was it not tolerated then? Were the offenders banned? Were the rules different?

And if so, why is it not possible now?

Also your last sentence seems to indicate that you'd like the current offenders to leave. Which again, isn't that the entire reason the board was created? To get away from strict moderation rules?

I just keep thinking that CP is evolving in the manner of which it was intended, but now the older members don't like that approach anymore. Please correct me if I'm wrong there.

In the time that I've been here, it has always been overreactionplanet.

I think people had higher standards in what they posted because if they were too disrespectful to the community and other posters, the next posts in the thread told the poster to wise up.

Now if someone gets unnecessarily disrespectful, the person disrespected has to defend himself and everybody else watches the accident unfold.
