Motion to temporarily BAN...
 

Anyone who starts another thread with an article written by Nick Athan...seriously this guy spews crap and I could care less to read it, we have already established his takes are complete :BS: and I think it clutters the front page with crap ...poll forthcoming....or start a Athan forum where those that :whackit: on his articles can go :harumph:

I second

Motion to dismiss.

Motion denied 4321 ;)

How about a ban on banning things?


I'm down with that.

Everytime I try to be a revolutionist the man brings me down.

:(

Do we really have to start out with a ban? How about a filter on WPI and/or Athan instead?

ban any new Nick Athan articles until after the draft?...He's a TOOL!

What about banning bans on banning things?

That is the much more cooler thing to do.

Plus its alot more fun to say.

We could start out with nuthooks, then eventually work our way down to the ban.

I'd be down with a mandatory warning in the thread title that it was written by Athan or came from WPI....sorry I was just pissed when I saw ANOTHER Athan thread just posted *cough* C-Mac *cough*

we just need 2/3 majority to pass this also

ROFL

In all seriousness, just ignore it. People have this compulsive disorder to constantly keep the front page tidy. Who cares? Once you start banning people, especially stuff that isn't hurting anyone, then you are creating an atmosphere of censorship. I believe it is the overall lack of censorship and the freedom of expression that makes this place as popular as it is. You mess with that and you're making the same mistake that coke did. Don't mess with the formula for success.

well, if i vote for it, we'll be ahead in poundage at least...

eh, the draft will soon be over and then no more nick 'til next year...

thank gawd...

Is the thread a repost?

You know it is amazing considering the many post's made here on the Planet, that someone can now be so offended by a opinionated errant writer that bans must be considered.
:rolleyes:

Yes but what's next....

The ban on people who use too many smilies in their posts, because it doesn't make a thread look pretty.

They're gonna sneak this one by you sooner or later.

I don't think he's offended, just perturbed by this guy being full of it.

(I guess, I never read a single article by Nick Athan)

Stick it to the man JD

It could be because posting Athlan articles is similar to posting spam in many peoples eyes. I think a warning in thread titles would be sufficient to avoid bans.

Yes...but most that post here are full of it!
Must be some kind of personal vendetta or something.

:Peace:

never use the intials JD on Chiefs Planet. It gives me a headache:cuss::banghead:

LOL - they have the most creative smilies evar! - motion to ban it...

Personal vendetta? Against who?

Seems it is more than a personal vendetta with a 2 to 1 ratio for banning so far.

Oh like.....
*WARNING* Viewer Discretion is Advised!"

Heck we could use this on tons of threads!

This is actually cool, Could I use it for my sig?

Yes on every post you make... J/K

I don't recall you being such a jackass. WTF do you care so much about this POS.

You'll have to get permission rights from "Girls gone Wild" inc.

I dont care about him, but I really dont see the huge difference in his opinion verses that of many other sports writers that are equally full of it. It also appeared as if DenverChief was almost calling me out.

but, but, but...

i didn't use a single smilie in the post you quoted, not one... :shake: :shake: :shake:



i understand what you're saying about bans in general, and i pretty much agree with what you're saying...

but it is true that some people think i use too many smilies, but heck, somebody's got to give the little critters some love... :jester: :Peace: :D :eek: PBJ PBJ PBJ

NOT ONE IOTA of information he writes has any truth to it....I prefer real news articles, Rand, Teicher, Pastabelly, Clayton, Kiper over Athan anyday at least they are credible ...Athan is like the Onion but no where near as funny

Ohhhhhhhhhh
that's what you're doing to the bananas

I really have no idea if DC was calling you out, I can understand your frustration if that is true.

However, clearly you have not been reading the constant bullshit that Athan constantly spews and people feel obligated to post for some strange reason. What he say will happen has never come true to my recollection, so how you compare him to real writers I am not sure.

If you're going to ban people for getting Chiefs fans' hopes up for no good reason, there's going to be a lot of people who qualify.

I'm glad you posted on this thread, TJ. I'd like to recognize you for being accurate more often than Nick Athan. Congratulations - that's quite an honor.

ROFL burn them, burn the witches

Please don't start banning people for idiocy and poor grammar. I'd be awfully lonely here, you know, since you'd all be gone.

Reconize, bitches... ;)

...and what Jason Whitlocks writes does?

I hear what you are saying, but again I just dont see the need for a "ban" unless its used equally and fairly across the board.
I chose to think that most of us here can discern whats truth and whats BS.

You'll never be alone. The voices will keep you company.

ROFL

gee, that sounds like what you'd say about a right wing rebuplican...

i'd vote for the use of some "message icon" (smilie - i love smilies!) to advise that it is a nick athan based thread, so they don't have to get all excited reading something only to find out it's a nicky nack article or one of his ticky tacky "reports"... :huh:

it is a bit of a let down when that happens... :(

maby that yellow triangle with the "!" in it would work... :hmmm: :hmmm: :hmmm:

You're one of Nick's inside sources, aren't you?

Keg will always have someone around to talk to...

ROFL


Ah, laughter is good...

hey...

those aren't bananas...

those are indian braves dancing 'round the camp fire...

in a slightly inebriated fashion...

bo braves, i call 'em...

If that's what you call their pillow talk.

They think it's foreplay.

This is the best description for a smilie ever.

:clap:

I think banning is awful harsh, but it probably should be mentioned in the thread title whenever possible. The guy just makes stuff up. In all the years I've been here I haven't seen one article of his that has had any value... that's just not good...

WHAT THE fuck ARE YOU DOING WITH NAKED PICTURES OF MY GIRLFRIEND!:?!??!one

The whore. :deevee:

You probably don't want to see the ones I have of her going down on me...

ROFL

I think we've walked about as far down that disturbing road as need be.

aw shucks... :D :D :D

you've been keeping me laughing through this whole thread... :thumb:

well, i've gotta hit the old haystack...

you have a good one tonight... :toast:

and try to keep cmac and dc from killing each other before we even get to the freaking draft... ROFL ROFL ROFL

Taco flavored kisses...

:D

:hmmm:.... like this?

Please don't break out the scenes with Affleck.

What we really need to do is ban Athan from his motherfucking computer.

It's pretty clear that C Mac just doesn't get it.


Whitlock writes opinion. Rufus writes opinion.

Nick Athan makes statements as fact. You don't see Whitlock writing an article saying "the deal is done with Ty Law, we're just waiting to anounce it". Athan pretends to know something no one else knows, and passes it of as fact. He just flat out lies. And he does it under the guise of journalism.

This isn't a guy that some posters just don't agree with. It's not a guy that occasionally makes a factual error in his articles. He has no credibility, whatsoever. Figure it out. The fact that this poll is suggesting a ban by a large margin right now should be enough to give you the hint.

I voted no because the crap he writes is high comedy. He is such a tard.

I voted no because I think his articles are worth a good laugh. I would be in favor of having "Athan" become "Liar" as a filter though. WPI or Warpaint Illustrated could become Random BS Illustrated or such as well.

Jason Whitlock- "Peterson doesnt care about winning, just filling the seats". Its an opinion yes, but its also a slanderous lie designed to stir controversy for his behalf. So you are suggesting that lies should be excused as long as they are expressed through an opinion?
Nick Athan - "the deal is done with Trotter, we're just waiting to anounce it". Its a lie that perhaps was based on opinion, but I also heard two reporters from ESPN state the same thing. So I'm not trying to excuse anyone from lying, nor do I want to promote someone who makes a habit of it. If someone makes a special Athon warning icon I have no issue with that, all I'm trying to say is that a ban on someone who perhaps lies more than the other lies, would be simply be hypocritical.

I vote for a WPI board raid, just like the old days. Ah, to be a nerd...

There's a big difference between a rumor or opinion from a legitimate journalist. Athan has about as much credibility as...pick a name, any name of someone who posts on here. And most of us have enough integrity not to make up stuff. As much as we might be tempted to post our very own "I saw Patrick Surtain at KCI 10 minutes ago!!!one" thread.

I disagree with banning, but am all in favor of some creative filters for the words Athan and WPI.

MM
~~:)

Where's the option to fillabuster?

I agree with the filter idea.

Automatically rename "Athan" to "Hello - Bullshit Artist on the loose."

I find WPI articles to be highly entertaining. Now that everyone on the Planet is aware of the reliability of the articles, what's the harm getting a good laugh out of them?

Or you can make a new thread, titled "The Athan Bullshit Files" and have the subtitle "WARNING. Viewer Discretion is Advised!"

:shrug:

KCWolfman, KCTitus, Baby Lee, et al are working to change the rules to make that impossible ...

;)

Sorry ... just an attempt at a little cross-forum humor.

MM
~~;)

If Athan is literally making up stuff and not just jumping to conclusions, he's tabloid writer material. I also think that some of the things said and written by "legitimate journalist's" are also of tabloid quality. Of the few articles I read from Athan, I could sense he appeared to be reaching, but I use discernment in everything I read. So again, I agree that such tabloidic writers should be noted, but hey I get a chuckle everytime I wait in line at the grocery store.
