Can we talk about megathreads?
Hey ChiefsPlanet. Can we all agree that, at least at some level, megathreads suck? I mean, if you want to have a megathread in the media center to talk about a TV show, a megathread about a sports team/league other than the Chiefs, etc., that's just fine.
But about Chiefs discussion? A vast majority of the time, those quickly turn into a shit slinging contest from a handful of opinionated posters. A lot of people just avoid them for that reason, yet people feel like they can't post a thread about a topic that was already buried in some sort of megathread because people will just bitch at them for the "repost". It's one of the most frequent complaints we hear from people who aren't on here all the time - it's just hard to keep up in that format. Hell, I'm theoretically on the leadership team around here, and I find myself pretty much just going to Arrowhead Pride or the Star for my Chiefs news and coming here almost out of habit. The problem is that it's hard to really set "rules" in place that wouldn't feel obnoxious. No threads above 500 posts? That would kill game threads and all of the "legit" megathreads out there. No megathreads on Chiefs topics? Well, what's your definition there? Until we can come up with a better idea, can we all just agree to try and collectively encourage people to post individual threads on Chiefs topics? That could mean:
There's a balance somewhere beyond which the whole place would be filled with shit threads and reposts, but we're so far away from that that it's hard to imagine we'd go too far any time soon. So...post more threads, you ****ing assholes. And if someone gives you shit about it, tell them the mods tell them to **** off. Last edited by DaFace; 08-14-2017 at 11:39 AM.. |

I like the Training Camp mega thread with the Tweeter feeder.

My proposition:
Megathreads make sense for niche discussions -- Mizzou basketball, cooking tips, luv's romantic life, etc. For Chiefs discussion, there should not be megathreads. Every article that is posted about training camp deserves its own thread (most days). |

I generally stay out of megathreads, because I don't know what to look for. I like threads where the headline matches the content. Maybe it goes back to all of those standardized tests where you have to pick the headline that matches the article.

It would also be nice to find a way to confine penbrook's bullshit to one place as well.
