The Evolution of the Planet

[BIG_DADDY]

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.

That's what is wrong with the planet. We have sick pooh threads.

There once was a poster named KC Native
Whose takes on politics seemed a little bit dated.
Someone called him a person of Hispanic heritage,
which made him quite meaner
now all does is make insults that aren't creative.

Yep. Then you throw trolls in the mix and you got what is now modern day CP.

I'm curious to hear who you think were anywhere near as obnoxious as DCS on the other side of that debate.

How could you possibly already know that, noob?

You can tell that you were here prior to DC. The reason it was created in the first place is that the two topics were littering the page. Quite a few posters that are in DC were regular posters in the lounge.

What you are suggesting won't make them leave. It'll make them more visibile.

What I want to know is, what do we have to do to bring back Midnight_Vulture?

You're giving DCS way too much credit. He was just the idiot lackey.

Even if you only polled the old timers it would be a massive epic fail. Frankly I am shocked you would think otherwise. If you merged the BB's you would have even more trolls and vaginal flow and less football.

Look I know I have said a lot of things I am not proud of over the years, I think a lot of people who have posted here long term probably have as well whether they will admit it or not. Most of the grief I get was things I posted about a terrorist supporter when I had family serving and somebody who decided a football forum would be the best place to martyr themselves by disclosing a sex change and saying that he thought as tax payers we should all pay for that. This isn't about me though or any individual poster. Pestilence was right when he said I should not have used individual names. This was about the evolution of CP and where we are at and was designed to measure how much of you really like this direction considering where it will take us.

I think the blocking function needs to be fixed so the d bag you block can't see your post. That is fine you don't have to read their stupid comments anymore, but they can still stalk your every post.

There are almost no posters who would leave CP as a result of that. Most DC posters are also Chiefs/NFL fans and Lounge posters. I honestly can't think of many DC only posters.

Again, the "he started it" argument is childish. If you're wanting to get at the heart of why there's a lack of civility, it just doesn't cut it.

I haven't been around for nearly as long as most involved in this discussion, but really, I just don't understand the 'we must ban anyone whos a douche' mentality.

There is ONE poster here who I cannot stand, and I don't have him on ignore. I just literally ignore him. Btw, he's one of the so called 'old timers' who seem to be exempt from the call to ban asshats, and he's the king.

Not to mention, who the hell goes into DC? Its totally ****ed in there. If you stay out of there, and don't GAF what people who bother you say, then I don't understand how it affects you to a point where they should be banned to suit an individual or even group need.

If you (I'm using you in a general sense here) DO feel the need to go into DC and GAF about what negative crap people have to say, maybe you should take a step back and look at the situation, maybe it is you who needs to take a break, not them.

tldr; who cares what dumb ****s on the internet think or type?

[Rausch]

It would also help if people didn't change their ****ing handle every 3 months.

I'm here to talk football, get information, as well as be entertained and entertaining whenever possible.

I don't wanna' have to play ****'n CLUE every time I log in. Nor will I.

Other than mod abuse (it happens to us all and it's usually pretty good) I don't understand the desire to reinvent yourself more than Madonna...

As angry as you are and as obsessed as you are there's just no way you're getting laid.

Let me ask you a question, and don't take offense to this: Does your wife beat you? You don't have to take it you know. You can leave her. Take everything in the divorce except the internet access. Please leave her with that.

You are terrible at arm psychology and trying to insult me as well.
