ChiefsPlanet New Rules & Guidelines and Romper Room Description - Page 37

**TimBone** · 03:50 PM

As you guys all know, Daface mentioned changes were coming. Behind the scenes, we have all been discussing the future of Chiefsplanet. Please note that any changes being made are being done so for the sole purpose of making Chiefsplanet a better place.

One topic that continued to come up in the discussions was transparency. Overall, we believe transparency is a good thing, and we will take measures to be as transparent as possible with most decisions made by the moderators. We will also make attempts to openly discuss and ask for the opinions of the user base throughout the process of change. Which brings us to the first topic of discussion:

The Terms of Service needed a bit of an update. Below you will find the proposed updated TOS along with the associated punishments for breaking those TOS. There is also a description at the bottom of how we envision the Romper Room.

Please read over the new Rules & Guidelines and the description of the Romper Room.Then feel free to share your opinions and suggestions.

Lastly, we've also been discussing alternative names for the Romper Room, and a few of us thought it would be a great idea to see what you brilliant people could come up with. So, feel free to throw out name suggestions based on the description.

Thanks, guys.

Punishable Offenses

The Douchebag Rule:

CP's #1 rule: Don't be a douchebag for the sole purpose of ruining everyone's enjoyment of the board. This rule is subject to the interpretation of the moderators.

Opinion Spamming:

There is nothing wrong with having unique opinions. It is part of what makes Chiefsplanet great. However, spamming the same opinion day after day and throughout multiple threads, to the point of thread derailment, is a punishable offense.

User Stalking:

Users stalking other users around the board, specifically to incite rage and reaction from that member is not allowed. Cross-thread humor and occasionally poking fun at other members is fine. However, if a poster asks you to stop and you do not, or it is deemed you are going out of your way to harass them, you will be punished.

Real-Life Crossover:

Reaching beyond the internet and affecting any user's personal and professional lives will not be tolerated. This includes (but is not limited to) contacting family members, employees, employers, making unfounded claims about any user's personal lives and businesses, and falsely accusing any user of real life crimes. Basically, leave people's real lives alone. Breaking this rule will result in an immediate ban.

Spam:

If you are a longtime regular, there is no problem with you posting links to your website. However, if your main reason for posting to Chiefsplanet is to sell stuff or to direct traffic to your own website, your thread will be removed and it may result in a ban.

NSFW Links and Images:

Links and images that contain any grotesque or other NSFW content must be posted within NSFW Tags. There are no exceptions to this rule. NSFW images may not be posted using IMG tags or as attachments. Lastly, posting NSFW links and pics within normal spoiler tags will not suffice.

Overloading front page with Threads:

Posting an extraordinary amount of threads or bumping too many old thread within a small time period is not allowed.

Physical Threats:

Physical threats deemed by the moderators to be serious in nature will result in an immediate ban.

Rude Comments in Prayer/Thoughts Threads:

Prayers/thoughts threads are not normal threads, and will be treated as such. Be respectful. If you don’t have anything positive to add, move on to another thread.

Word Filter Evasion:

Word Filters are in place. Do not add spaces, symbols or anything else with the intention of bypassing these filters. Do not post images containing words that are filtered by the system.

Disrespectful Treatment of Moderators:

Moderators are users first and foremost. The moderating job is a voluntary position, and the mods are acting in the interest of what they think is best for the forum. All that is asked is that, if you are going to dispute a mod decision, do so in a respectable manner. Lastly, and obviously, do not threaten the board with legal action. This will result in an immediate ban.

False News or Thread Title:

Many users come to Chiefsplanet for Chiefs news and updates. Posting false news stories or misleading thread titles (even as a joke) are prohibited.

Multiple accounts and banned users:

If any user has multiple active accounts, any and all accounts can be banned at any time. If a user has been permanently banned and come back under a new account, that user can be banned at any time at the moderators’ discretion. Posting on the behalf of banned users prohibited. This includes any text, photos, or videos.

Possible Punishments:

Physical threats and other severe actions will result in immediate bans. For the most part, though, the moderators will try and handle things at the lowest level possible, and move to more severe punishments as more infractions occur.

- Warnings (via PM, in the thread, or the infraction feature), and reporting of the post in the mod forum for visibility
- Daily post count limit
- Temporary kick to the Romper Room
- Permanent kick to the Romper Room
- Short Term Ban
- Long Term Ban
- Permanent Ban

Single Thread Bans may occur due to the following reasons:
- Highjacking threads with no thought given to the OP
- Derailment of threads due to personal feuds
- General derailment of threads
- Rude or insensitive comments in a prayers/thoughts thread
- Constant trolling of a single thread

Romper Room Guidelines

The Romper Room is a sub-forum designed to house Chiefsplanet’s more problematic posters. The posters restricted to this forum have proven that they need, at the very least, a temporary break from posting in the other sub-forums. Also, banned posters that are allowed back on a trial run will begin their return here. All users are more than welcome to visit the Romper Room and visit with their ill-behaved buddies. The Romper Room will be more lightly moderated than the Lounge. The top two forum rules (The Douchebag Rule and Opinion Spamming) will be more lightly moderated within this sub-forum, but all other forum rooms will be moderated as they are in other forums.

Lex Luthor, it is abundantly clear to me you've never played baseball past little league. That's my guess. Alex Gordon hit a line drive either out or single to left field ... like every other big leaguer in the history of baseball ... he ran to 1st with the intentions of it being a single and rounding the base to see if the outfielder bobbled the hop or made a poor throw ...

Nobody, NOBODY in high school, college or ESPECIALLY MLB puts their head down after hitting a line drive like that and runs to 1st in hopes they'll achieve a little league home run.

Now, let me guess ... you played 0 innings of high school baseball. Am I correct? Yes or no.

You are incorrect. I was the starting left fielder for the JV as a sophomore and as a junior, and I started for the varsity as a senior. I would have loved to play in college, but I wasn't good enough.

I was trolling you about the Alex Gordon play this time around just to bring back old memories. I've always loved Alex Gordon. I understood why he jogged out of the batter's box back in 2014. I don't really want to get into the whole thing again.

Posting seems to have picked up and it's the worst month for sports, so that's a good sign.

Well that's all good news. So you most of you guys see this a positive change so far?

Sure, I'll go have a look now and then, but it's just the same people lobbing the same shit at each other, and I don't see the point.

Of course, being on the winning side probably helps.

Exactly

Really is there some kind of a new tiger rule or something? I'm seriously still trying to catch up and have been primarily posting in the mod lounge with the new mods. It looks like they have been doing one hell of a job.

I'll concur with that. From what I remember before, the level of discourse has dropped off dramatically.

However, I've also noticed that overall traffic has dropped off quite a bit as well. A lot of the old timers seem to be gone now. In some cases, that's a really good thing, but mostly it's a loss. I should talk to some of these people on facebook and try to get them back in the fold.

It's really hard to say why some people have left. Sometimes people move onto other interests and other times they get pissed off about something. If you have a way to contact some of the old timers that would be great.

The shadow will return.

Be ever vigilant.

See this right here?^^^^^

If Sandy, Tigger, and the rest of the Short-Bus disapprove, then CP is clearly doing something right.
Their hero has disappeared in to the night after having the scepter yanked from his grasp.
It's unfortunate that the majority of the team's offensive woes lead back to the same individual, but it is what it is, and is certainly not purposefully pursued as a topic to derail threads.
Not on my end at least.

Pinpoint exactly what has gone so bad?

The only major changes are the return of Hootie, Inmen, and Frazod...and the addition of the Romper Room.

Hootie had a rough start, but there's no denying he's already improved sports talk.

Inmen has been absolutely fine since he's been back.

Frazod has been doing exactly what he used to do, he's adding good discussion throughout all of the forums.

The Romper Room has even taken some of the sillier discussion out of the Lounge. I'd say it's working out pretty well.

My guess would be that you're just a teeeeeeny bit mad that Clay is still around.

Wipe that sand out of your vagina, bud.

If Sandy Vag is complaining, things are better.

It is though, for real. Romper Room idea is great. It's a Way to have stupid postings not clogging up the lounge.
