ChiefsPlanet Make ChiefsPlanet great again! - Page 9

Figured I'd get this discussion going sooner than later. Here's your thread to suggest ways to make this place great. This can be anything from new capabilities (though no promises on making anything work), new ways of organizing things, whatever.

As examples, I think we need to figure out a way to meet the desires of people who want calm, in-depth discussion of the Chiefs and people who love a no-holds-barred, in-your-face style.

I also keep thinking about ways to have more unique content, kind of like gblowfish's 10 Things threads. Maybe we could have people write regular features or something like that?

I certainly don't have the answers, but we might as well use the offseason to talk about some cool ideas.

I don't know if it was a server thing but we use to have a nice thing but it disappeared and that was like our own page to converse in. It was cool as hell but people would be mean and not be nice so I think that's why it got taken away. There is a reason we can't have nice things.

It was nice having conversations with people or posting funnies that they would get. I thought it was a way to develop friendships as well.

I'm not talking about the PM because anyone could read it. Maybe just have friend list be able to post in it and you can block them if they are rude.

We can already do that bud.

How? I don't seen any option for it. Of course, I never really looked before.

No, I'm talking about ignoring forums, not individual threads.

Best thing that could happen to CP is the Chiefs drafting a QB in rd 1/2. Discussion would be far better and it would make people hope again

Too bad that will never happen as long as someone whose surname is 'Hunt' owns the team.

It is what it is.

In all fairness, no one was counting on you to ever be a decent human being. Your personality is concordant with legit frontal lobe brain disease. So there's that.

It's in your user cp options toward the bottom of the page.

Again, I see the option for ignoring threads, but not forums.

What I'm getting at is this - I'd really like to avoid getting dragged down in the DC abyss this time around, and if I login and the first thing I see in the list of subforums isn't the name of the last contentious thread in that forum and the last contentious asshole who replied to it, then I might not be so tempted to go have a look.

Sort of like a recovering drunk who doesn't want to see a giant beer advertisement right outside his window every day.

Eliminate moderators.

The obsession with moderators/moderation on this board reeks of 1990's AOL chatrooms.

If someone is that weak/fragile that they can't handle tough talk on an online message board then they should remove themselves from the outside world altogether.

Apparently any form of resistance to the aforementioned horse shit is considered 'trolling'.

And don't reply to this comment with the "safe-space" bull shit. It's a call for consistency cause I'm not the ones starting threads requesting bans on people

Go nestle yourself in the protective homer cleavage of Bob Gretz's man tits.

Sure, I've had DC hidden for years. It's on this page at the bottom.

Search for the word "exclude" if you still can't find it.

I made two threads for both sides of the aisle. Now no one has an excuse of ignorance that they are not trolling in those threads.

You want positive things to say about our quarterback fine say it in respected thread.

I think it's simple enough and if you chose to engage in other threads to debate or argue or insults then that is not trolling because it works both ways now.

It is also an experiment.

I hope it brings some enjoyment to the Planet or satisfies the need.
