Life The Evolution of the Planet - Page 11

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.

Mark Sanchez discussions. That was definitely a time that created a lot of divide on this board. There was so much hatred being thrown around by so many.

It's the same way with the QB-in-the-first drafturbators, the Geno-at-1.1 cultists and the Alex-Smith-is-Matt-Cassel knee-jerkers.

There's a frustration with hating a guy's play before, while, and after he was here. You try and point it out (tens of posters did) only to be met with "You have no idea how he'll play here. Give it a chance."

The player sucks. Hard.

After years of saying "See! Look!" the response is "There's no way you could have know that. Nobody knew how he'd turn out."

I agree that 2009 is a remarkable year, no doubt. Despite career day _efense and GoChiefs' Herm Warfare, this board was largely a homer board. CP attached to classic homeresque scapegoats like Eric Hicks, Eric Warfield, Greg Robinson and Gunther Cunningham. The shift to a critical board started in 2009 and was led with much hostility from Dane, Hamas, etc. People alike (sick of losing) and people opposed (hopeful fans) adapted this posting style even if they weren't nearly as skilled to do so. I think guys like OTWP need to take some accountability into their role in this development.

And just who did you used to be?

Both sides engaged in inflammatory and vitriolic behavior.

The "he started it" thing is completely childish.

I was on the "wait and see" side by the way, and I know how it went.

Personally, I was too. The problem was I held on to it too long. When you love a team and make it a point for the highlights of a few months to be those Sundays, it tends to make one a bit defensive. Combine that with getting your face rubbed in it, not only on the TV but among fellow fans, it will build some bad blood.

I got me some of that bad blood cause of Cat Massel.

I don't think it's that simple, but maybe that's just me.

For example, I was part of the "hopeful homer" crowd for quite some time. Hell, for the first 8 years or so of Chiefsplanet, the running joke was that I was on Carl Peterson's personal payroll.

On the other hand, I was probably the most vocal critic when it comes to Eric "We Love Losing" Hicks and the Foot Shuffling Porter.

The fanbase has been without a 1st round QB for so long we've gotten as idiotic about drafting one as the team is about not drafting one.

Both sides just see the stupid in the other...

If everybody applied the ignore function at the appropriate time, there would be no discussion here.

Interesting avatar choice, to be certain.

I think guys like DCS/ROR/SDH are what ruined this board. I'll agree to an extent that 2009 was the beginning of this board's demise, but not necessarily because of the influx of Pats fans who came over. There was a lot of disagreement about Sanchez between guys who were involved in every football thread. I debated with Dane, Hamas, OTWP, milkman, etc. Usually we had good discussions. The problem was that every other post was some non-sensical response from DCS that was neither funny or clever, but annoying.

Then it seemed like he attracted other non-intelligent posters who just repeat the same meme over and over and in turn football threads aren't even worth participating in. Now every football thread has GloryDayz and other guys like that just repeating the same things over and over, and much like DCS's old posts, no one ever replies to them, but it makes reading and participating in those threads impossible.

I was wondering how someone who joined two days ago already has supporter status.
