Trump didn't impeach himself.

Power to the PEOPLE!

OUT

Its all good, I'm not really upset I do find it kind of silly but whatever.

Doesn't this thread belong in the DC Forum and the unholy land?

pmurT

:bravo:

Actual truth. No sarcasm was used.

It's safe to say thread bans aren't working, at least for the handful of people who simply can't keep politics out of any given conversation.

Due to continued reported posts and general frustrations around inserting politics into absolutely everything, and idea came up to restrict people to DC, much like the Romper Room.

So, everyone gets three thread bans as warnings, and after that will get a vacation in DC (the other forums will be view only). The thread bans and DC vacations will be posted in the transparency thread.

Just like several other rules, there's of course gray area and it doesn't really matter where the line is drawn, because those who can keep politics out of the Lounge will never come close to the line and those who can't will insist on running right up to it.

Generally speaking, we're talking about political opinions or blatantly inserting politics into a thread that isn't even a little bit on topic, or otherwise leaking DC BS into the Lounge or other forums.

3 is too many.

Peace. Out.

Just call it both ways, and there shouldn't be much hubub about it

END THE DC FORUM NOW! :thumb:

One would have to assume threads like the Whitlock thread in the main forum either need to be moved or not apply.

This is the truth. We saw how it went in the non-political COVID thread. I have my doubts fairness rules the day.

DaFace will put you in your place if you get out of line. OBEY! Thread title should be: Keep your political bullshit in DC and don't talk shit about my SPACE IS AWESOME thread.

I hadn't clicked on that one in a couple days (or read the entire article), so good call on moving it.


In general, future threads like that still apply, no matter how destined they are for DC, and posting political threads in the wrong forum follows the same rules.

I try to give people the benefit of the doubt when it comes to those threads, and most people will still keep politics out of it (I assume for that particular one, a lot of people could speak to ratings and what not and leave the rest of it in DC)... and of course that's the shitty part of this, where it's infiltrated every aspect of our lives.

Eh, lets give' em the benefit of the doubt...

We're all still learning to navigate this krazy new 24/7 all pervasive political reality

I'll just say my goodbyes to daface again right now.

This should actually make him happy.

I put that thread on ignore months ago, along with all the other political stuff that got started in the lounge around the same time. It’s definitely apparent that political opinions are ok in the lounge, just as long as they align with a certain side.

There's really no reason for that thread anymore. Same shit over and over, IMO. Ain't been there in a while.

That's absolutely not true.

There's plenty of BOTH sides in the COVID thread.

There's plenty of BOTH sides in the NBA thread (now moved).

I don't care which side you're on, if you say only one side is tolerated, you're lying to yourself.

THE C0VID IS A HOAX REALITY? A GLOBAL RESET? A NEW WORLD ORDER? I GET IT.

Noooooo

haha.

Let the bannings begin, ITT.

Number of reported posts for politics in the Lounge in the past ~week: 7
Number of thread bans for those posts in the past week: 7

Number of reported posts all time from both of you combined: 0

Politics suck. Thus ends my contribution to this thread.

Agree. Political topics started in the not-DC simply need to be moved to the DC.

Oh stop. That one wasn't political until it was made political. Many, many people weren't the ones to make it political. Excuses for lack of self control will not be accepted as valid reasoning.

DaFace is our General, we will fight together... Strength and Honor

:LOL:

The benefit of the doubt? They pretty much blew that big time. That thread would have never gotten out of hand if it had been moderated with an even hand. This place isn't close to what it used to be so many have left It not fun anymore and its happened rapidly.

That would be like cooper saying he has free reign to post porn every time someone posts a picture of Brodie Croyle's wife, because well, it was headed down that path anyway.

Nice loophole... no politics in the Lounge, so just post a thread so we can all go wild! :facepalm:

I am not a moderator nor a snitch.

I disagree.

GO CHIEFS!!

I agree to disagreeing!

Go Chiefs! Raider week has been weak since marty left.

And yet you are a little something that rhymes with ‘snitch.’

I haven’t been in that thread for a long time. The fact that both sides are there isn’t in dispute. The question is whether our moderators are able to recognize both sides.

Yeah, that's the shitty part.... the 2nd part of the article was clearly political and I'm sure that was Whitlock's intent, but plenty of people are 100% capable of steering away from that anyway.

Just like the Covid thread.... there's actually a lot of good conversation sprinkled in with all of the crap and to simply say there shouldn't be a Lounge Covid thread because of the politics is crap for all the people who aren't/weren't there to opinion spam and turn it into a cesspool.

The fact that both sides are still posting there all but proves they're not just allowing one side to voice their opinions. That was what was alleged, after all.

A snitch?

If you're not reporting posts, you're complicit. Simple as that.

Besides, you refuse to complain anonymously because you ain't no snitch but you have no problem complaining in public? How does that make any sense?

Mod bot
you around?

Na. But in srvy's case, he likes the politics infiltrating places where it is not welcome. You know, THE LOUNGE.

Not bagging on him, but the psychology is clear.

You don't seriously think that the mods read every post in every thread ever posted, looking for TOS violations do you?

If you're too lazy to report posts, you have no right criticizing the mods for not doing their jobs.

The biggest part of a moderators job is to adjudicate complaints. The board software has a specific mechanism for lodging those complaints. For a reason.

Not reporting posts and then calling out the mods in public is straight up childish.

Man, I ain't never complained about the mods. Never, ever. This issue with CP is the users. That particular clique of users suck ass so hard.

Just admit it goes both ways, thats all I'm asking

Agree. The hate has moved on. Plus, the Raiders have a stadium that's the envy of the league, they're not from Oakland anymore, so there's a lot less to hate.

Sorry, I was speaking to the proverbial "you" not you.

I responded to your post before you edited it and it appeared at that time you were defending the behavior I was describing.

I should have just continued addressing the person I was quoting originally.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Envy of the league? Ever try attending a game there? ROFL

Not yet, but I sure want to. The nice thing is that Vegas will be a great trip for Chiefs fans - once each year. If the NFL is smart, they'll make it in the cold months, just to make sure Chiefs fans are super-motivated to take a cheap flight to see our Chiefs play.

When I do it, I might make it a few extra days and get some diving in.

There is definitely not a "fair" distribution in that thread. There is a particular poster that dominates that thread that is vague and vails his posts and responses and is allowed to dabble in that "grey" area. Yet he tries to deflect and call out others as being political.

**** you pussy.

That's right out in the open just as this thread was out in the open. Are you in the habit of doing things behind people's backs? If so in my day that was cowardness.

Well I think you know where the threads are getting a lot of responses. The lounge COVID thread sure was uneven on who was booted. So don't pull that one, get more mods if you are unable to keep up.

Yeah guys, go to the ****ing Mod Store and get more mods!

Your day has passed.

When people violate the rules of the forum, they should be reported anonymously, period.

Dude, there are like three that are MIA and have been for some time. Bide your time, Dane McCloud. But watch out for kurtkobain.

No one on Chiefsplanet would want me as a Moderator.

I wouldn't want to be a moderator because it's a thankless job and in the end, good people like Phobia, Bob Dole and others become demonized and hated.

I have plenty of people on CP that hate me already and there's reason to for me to willingly increase that head count.

I do that just fine on my own, thank you.

ROFL

I haven't been in that thread nor posted in it since April.

I think it's time for your nap, old timer. You're getting awfully cranky again. How about I set you up with some Murder, She Wrote after your afternoon bingo session?

I like how both of us were interested. Now it's "**** that noise". If I had too, I'd ban according to the rules with no further discussion. Bias will indeed be involved sometimes so I urge everyone to step off because it matters.

I think I have you beat.

Never seen an episode but sounds like you have mama's boy.

English might be past your time, too.

I've seen a lot of guys volunteering the service. Why anyone would want it is beyond me. One thing I do know is you can quit it anytime. So if it's too much nothing says you can't move on and be a regular poster.

The only problem with this concept is that politics have permeated pretty much every aspect of our lives at this point. The non-political is being made political by forces beyond our control.

VERY minor edit there, friendo.

Pence won that debate!

Wait sorry I saw a political thread and thought I was in the DC forum... 😂

I don't recall saying it was too much.

I am a regular poster. I'm also a mod and I do mod stuff when it comes to my attention. Whether that happens when I am perusing a thread, or when someone reports an issue. I don't spend much time at all just looking for mod stuff to do. And neither do any of the other guys. That's why the reporting function is a pretty important tool to help us do our mod jobs.

Good to know who the snitches around here are. You should be awfully proud. Got any stitches?

True and I think Bearcat alluded to that in his post.

srvy types with two fingers and a sub 70 IQ.

I'm proud of the fact that unlike you, I'm not married to Filipino Mail Order Bride that's decades younger than me.

Quality post. And sports is at the top of the list with political agenda pushing.

I did it for 10 years.

It doesn't matter how "unbiased" you are. You will be inundated with accusations of favoritism until they either give up, or you do.

Being a mod here is a thankless job.

He's a mouthy old ****tard that's so old that if he got into a real fight, would pass out after throwing his first punch.

It's always a treat to see posts from "Real" tough guys, especially when they're old as ****.

Can't get an Amen?

Ok fine, sure

:D You are a repeat we have been through this before. I met her in Chillicothe Mo. I was on a design project widening 36 highway From Hamilton to Just outside of Chillicothe. Ive never asked about your Chinese mail order bride?

Dart spends most of his hours figuring out the gambling challenge and bitch slapping some people (who will remain nameless) not following the rules (editing bets after they are placed), and others questioning how their winnings were calculated.
And we thank him for most of that
