Make ChiefsPlanet great again!

[DaFace]

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.

Some of these DC junkies were even posting away during our playoff game. Sad

They just need to be put down for their own good..

This site was made for Chiefs talk, not who's running for president. Just my two cents

there have been several ideas thrown out for consideration. As the Planet embarks on this new path, leaving D.C. As is...... should not happen. "Something" should be done differently. The only ones wanting it to stay the same are the ones throwing out personal insults daily.

Nobody wants to tightly mod that shithole. Maybe if the Romper Room comes to life, things could change in DC, but I wouldn't count on it.

Meanwhile, BRC is in DC calling people pussies.

Do you have any idea how many posts would be reported if D.C. Was "heavily moderated"? The mod forum would be blasted with report this post threads. The only alternative is to get rid of politics or just deal with D.C. As is. There is no in between grey area when it comes to that shit. Flopnuts tried moderating D.C. Lol how did that workout for him?

I dont understand where you are coming from Stevie. You acted like you wanted change now that we're trying you've been negative with most posts.


Why not just say what your issues are rather than just cryptic negative posts.

Seriously. Can is definitely one of the most underrated posters this place has had.

For the most part this is an amazing discussion board. The free for alls happen but generally people get on very well together. Its easy to not deal with those you choose not to. And you have to admit the breadth and depth of interests, hobbies, abilities, business background, education is mind blowing.

A step back from the heat of battles over Alex's arm or the Oline, or what sort of steak is the best, or the boobbies threads makes you appreciate everyone who makes this what it is.

Its like a dysfunctional family but still fun.

i agree. The "regular" mods can't moderate that place. It would be a full time mod job. Needs a major change.

You (and BRC) are making this much more complicated than it needs to be. First off, don't complain about how much the cesspool stinks if you plan on continuing to shit in it on a regular basis. Secondly, threads based on articles can be clearly marked by their titles. Follow a simple format. Source: Article. Include a pertinent paragraph or two in the OP (italicized and bolded) followed by a link. Then add your starting comment. Here, I'll give you an example:

Thread title:

Today.com: Cake for breakfast? Study says go for it

OP:
Cake for breakfast? Study says go for it
By Rachel Rettner
MyHealthNewsDaily
Good news for the kid in you: Not only can you eat cake for breakfast, doing so may actually help you keep weight off, a new study suggests. In the study, obese participants who ate a breakfast high in protein and carbohydrates that included a dessert were better able to stick to their diet and keep the pounds off longer than participants who ate a low-carb, low-calorie breakfast that did not include sweets.

Hey look guys! Cake is good for you! Yippee!



Get it? We don't need a panel of assholes telling us what is and is not fake news. DC doesn't need to be a safe place designed to prevent snowflake meltage. There are already board-wide rules regarding threats/language/whatever that don't need to be modified just for DC.
