Life The Evolution of the Planet - Page 40

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 don't know if I was ever a "good" poster, but I used to post on a range of topics on the board in the early days. I was busy with school and later starting my career so I didn't have as much time the first 3 or 4 years of CP's existence. When I had the time to post I did a bit. Eventually I pulled back to only posting on the odd NFT and KU/College Hoops threads mostly because threads would explode into 100 page odysseys that completely lost the original idea many times over. By the time I opened it up, there was no way I was reading all of that or even caring about it. That and more and more trolls started making it a dick slapping contest. It's like a bunch of immature jackoffs who think it's their job to get in the best one liner rather than discuss what is being put out there. And people are so ****ing hot and cold on players and coaches. You can sing a guys praise one week and give him some childish derogatory nickname the next.

It doesn't matter that much too me, too much. I still check CP most days, if for no other reason that to catch up on headlines and see what people are saying about KU though I don't post there hardly at all because there are a few warts who make those threads nearly unbearable.

But yeah, this place could do with a good house cleaning. Other people like me might contribute more to the conversation if they don't have to wade through pages of immaturity.

Im in the playoffs in one fantasy league and in the SB in another.
The Chiefs are in the playoffs.
I've got a state job with people I like working with.
Hell, even my dog will sit down and watch TV with me for hours.

It's an artificial euphoria brought on by a rare alignment of unlikely circumstances...

I have met hundreds. They are rarely like their online persona. I have got along with everyone I have met in person. I've had people that "hate" each other on the internet and both attended my tailgate without any issues.

This season is one to be proud of and a welcome change, no doubt

State job is good benifits. congrats. Good co workers is hard to find.
My dog just stares groans and rolls his eyes until we get drunk, howl at the moon, and go chase pussy
