How the hell is snitching on a message board a line that is too disturbing to cross?




You can’t bitch that the mods aren’t doing something if they don’t know that it’s happening. That’s like bitching at firefighters for not showing up to your dumpster fire when you don’t ever ****ing call them.

Well dipshit I am not looking for a fight but I don't run from one either. I still handle myself well and am in good shape. You sure think you know a lot about me for never meeting.

There are two types of people that post on CP:

1. The kind of people that want a tightly moderated forum. They want to discuss the topic at hand without going off topic and interjecting politics. They keep football talk in the Lounge and Draft forums, keep the Entertainment talk in the Media Center and keep the political talk in the DC.

2. The kind of people that start threads of any topic, even borderline political, in the Lounge. They see everything through a political lens. They don’t care if they’re starting threads in the wrong forums, talk about politics when it’s unnecessary and unwarranted and really don’t give a shit what other people think of their behavior. The worst of the lot dare people to report them and dare the Mods to ban them.

We’d have better community/peer-control of behavior around here and probably a lighter workload for the mods if the reports were made public.

Not really. It would just lead to more fights. People just can't control themselves anymore.

He's a fascist.

Some of you should go outside and play.

Anonymity (to the general population) is a big social shield for those whose complaints would be tiresome or unpopular otherwise.

And the solution to even handed moderation (not even handed moderators) being offered is just encouragement to make even more complaints.

But I’ve already been told there’s no appetite for this at the moment so I’ll drop it here.

The issue, as you may have seen earlier in the thread, is that despite the shield that anonymity provides, very few people still bother to report posts.

I understand that you view anonymity as having the potential to generate even more complaints and sometimes even useless ones.

The simple fact is that the opposite is true - very few people use the feature. And the mods simply can't moderate things they don't know about.

ROFL Right?

I have no idea why anyone would want to do it (no offense to the mod crew - who I’m on record as saying do a better job than we deserve).

I don’t have problems with the mods. Know why? I’m not a douche. Don’t douche shit up and you won’t give the mods an opportunity to abuse you (from your perspective of course).

I don't see what srvy being old has to do with anything.

A lot of his posts contain graphic descriptions of gay sex and it's just unsettling to think there's this 80 year old out there posting about gay sex so much.

It's not about the political views of who is doing the moderating, it's about the political views of who does the complaining, and how often they do it. One side is significantly more emotionally weak and that's how they compensate.

I hope the mods are wearing masks while on Chiefsplanet. Keep Us Safe!

There are lots of things that are not acted on. People post all sorts of racist garbage here, from racial slurs to just long term posting of racist takes about everything. Everyone knows that as long as they don't say the magic word nothing will be done. When you know that is the case it's understandable why people don't bother reporting it.

One big Damn Conspiracy and everyone's in on it! Including the MODS

You might be an old man who yells at a cloud if you say things like:

"This place isn't close to what it used to be..."

That would be a religious matter, which belongs in the DC Forum.

Reported.

Don't get him started on old-timey candy. He'll talk for hours about the town taffy pulls and how different cotton candy was from the crap they serve today because back then they made it out of REAL fiberglass and asbestos!

Yep.

If it's true one side does all of the complaining on the frontend by reporting posts, it's also true the other side does all of the complaining on the backside in the gripe thread about thread boots and how it's all one sided.

One does seem more productive than the other.

It's dealt with whenever reported... the majority of that kind of stuff takes place in DC, which of course doesn't make it any more right, but it's the place that once asked for a list of racist words to be added to the rules so everyone knew just how racist they could be... :facepalm:

Question - why do we need moderators at all?

Take your "defund the police" opinions elsewhere, you socialist nutjob.

Anyone here listen to Stern on Sirius/XM? At the end of one of his latest shows, his staff went into full meltdown mode about this sort of stuff, and Howard let it play out as an example of the division we're seeing across the country. Besides being hilarious, it was truly indicative of the mess we're finding ourselves in - myself included in that.

I have no great insight about this (for now). Curious if anyone else listens to Stern.

I listen occasionally but that show pretty much died several years ago.

Reported.

More succinctly:

1. People who are here to be a part of the community.

2. People who are here to douche the place up.

Because see there are douche canoes that don't understand simple forum rules...I feel as though I'm talking to a wall here though.

Communist.

Yeah, but it's not just DC. It can happen in any thread. People know just not to say a banned word and you can be as racist as you like. Basically the whole site is NSFW now, because that sort of thing is just as NSFW as pron is.

People who post manifestly racist things should be banned for being miserable users who are a detriment to the community. Just about every internet forum operates that way. People don't have a right to post on a site. On any other forum I frequented, someone like that would have been chucked out early on and nobody would ever miss them.

On CP you have long-timers who can get away with whatever and cliques and friendships influence things. Mods don't want to hear people complain, I get it. But if you don't maintain a place like this it turns into a trailer park

Is COVID-19 a hoax? You decide -> http://www.bitchute.com/video/dKdDYH10Zq56/ This is NOT POLITICAL. Just a honest question.

LMAO

For the record:

In the past 18 months, you have reported two posts. Both of them were acted upon, even though we eventually learned that one of them wasn't actually a racial slur.

I think it was the leaked 'TED talk' that broke me, but it was breaking down for quite a while. And I was an avid listener for decades. [and it's not political because I dropped Carolla around the same time].

Maybe everyone gets old, but Stern turned into a pansy-fied version of Imus somwhere along the way. Everything is about sucking up to celebs and coo-coo-ing with his trophy wife and her cat hospital.

In in response, the 'crew' has been gasping and struggling to hide the 'strings' of how they formulate their content for a while, contrived arguments, fake calls, etc.

Whch is fine, except it's the opposite of what made him an icon. Like if Tarantino started making Hallmark TV movies.

I'd like to see that. It would have to be better than some of the crap my wife likes to watch on there.

Get ready for 40 new Hallmark Holiday-themed movies beginning in late October.

:D

Hard to classify either, or really anything done on an internet message board, as productive.



I get the point though.

Nope. Clay is calling for elected officials to be murdered on this site now and the mods support him. Every chance I get after everyone of his posts I’ll remind what an unhinged wack job he’s become.

For the record:

You have never reported a post in at least the past 10 years. It's hard to know what you're talking about given that that's the case.

At a minimum, you're gonna have to provide some evidence of the "mods support him" accusation.

Is he doing it in the Lounge?

This thread is about keeping that kind of stuff in DC, where pretty much anything goes. From both sides.

If you venture into DC it will vastly change your opinions of people, then you'll see why we have a section of people that only post there...

88iOH THANK GOD WE HAVE YOU TO PROTECT US












Dumbass

Those opinions of people bleed over into the Lounge as well.

Unfortunately, that's a fight against basic human nature but a lot of the "political" bickering in the Lounge is actually people just carrying over personal conflicts that started in DC (and I'm guilty of this as well FWIW).

I've done it and I know people have done it to me because I've seen it. It's like you say a few political things and all of the sudden nothing you say is cool with that person anymore.

THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PLOT!

Here's a few questions for the MODS:

Do we have posters here who seem to constantly whine and report on threads at a real excessive level, many times not justified?

How is that handled when it appears they are just chronic complainers?

Do you tally how many thread complaints each poster makes?

:hmmm:

Inquiring minds want to know.......:LOL:

There is no need to tally. There really aren't that many reported posts. Normally if there is something really out in right field, we will get multiple reports on one post.

It's rare, but if a person reports BS posts on a regular basis, we can check "Can't report posts," which takes care of the issue.

You ever done that?

yes, the bastards...i mean it's none of your business.
sec

He gonna now

I didn't ask for names, goons.

Eliminating my ability to do something I have never done seems very productive.

The rhetoric in the DC has become more than just "anything goes".

I don't know about anyone else but JFC, is really too much to ask people to stop advocating for the murder, yes, murder, of elected officials?

I mean, again, I don't know how anyone else feels but to me, that's a line that shouldn't be crossed, at least not on Chiefsplanet.

It's the nature of the beast. Twitter and Facebook are filled with the same shit.

“Racist” no longer has a commonly accepted meaning. Your post is effectively indecipherable, or at the very least, ambiguous.

I guess there's a reason why I don't post on Twitter or Facebook or bother reading them, outside of a few music industry groups, which I'm basically forced to follow.

:shrug:

That kind of thinking is very, very dangerous, IMO.

Really? So the only way you can understand or acknowledge racism is if someone uses the "N" word?

No wonder that forum has spun out of control.

We have characters, both interesting and annoying, on both sides of the Lounge/DC divide.

I think in all the years, once. It doesn't happen very often. Normally if we PM someone and tell them to chill, they will.

No, that’s not the only way, but to the extent that it can be, those words should be listed (or compiled as they come up) so everyone knows what they are.

You can also be racist by explicitly describing your racism without using those words.

My problem starts with mind reading over ambiguous posts and ends with the modern notions involving a requirement to account for privilege because colorblindness is racism.

Thanks for proving my point.

Thinly veiled racism, is of course, racism. There are very, very few posts, if any, in the DC in which racist comments and remarks aren't understood by anyone that reads those posts.

Some of the threads that Shtsprayer has started and some of his posts, especially those in which his posts include links to summaries and theories that say "Black people are inferior to White people" are so ridiculously inappropriate and racist that it's even difficult to read that nonsense and not wonder "Why hasn't this guy been banned again?".

If you can just look past that, well, holy shit, I'm actually speechless.

He actually was banned. He just created a mult account and went about doing the exact same thing. Not sure why it was never addressed, because he brings nothing to the board except racist hate and vitriol.

Merd the Turd is the worst. I guess that's what day-time drinking and unemployment will do to a man. It's no coincidence his posts ramped up when Covid hit....

The vitriol and rhetoric has really gotten worse these last 5 years.

It's not a place for discussion so much as it's a place to shit on each other. And yeah, i'm guilty of it too.

But shit, in my defense, what better pass-time on CP than shitting on TaQo John?

D.C is more loose than it's ever been, for sure.

I don’t trust your judgment when it comes to racism.

If you can't see how racist Merd the Turd is, then i certainly don't trust yours.

Honestly, if mods would just flush The Turd D.C would instantly be a better place.

I don't trust your judgement, for well, anything.

You conveniently follow everything your party espouses and have zero individual thoughts of your own.

And last time I checked, you don't live in a city in which White people are the minority, which further invalidates your "knowledge" of racsim.

If murdering Liberals where a "thing", you'd be first in line to murder, while simultaneously swallowing Dick Cheney's cock.

Not directed to any particular post or poster but over the years I have witnessed the term "racist" being thrown about very loosely and IMO losing its real meaning. I believe today "racist" and "profiling" are used interchangeably and that couldn't be further from the truth. A poster might give an opinion regarding a story and be profiling a victim or assailant and other posters may scream "Racism" when in reality it is simply profiling.

I didn’t say anything about that. But I’ve seen your work and I definitely don’t trust your judgment either. No offense, but I’d take Dane’s over yours.

Go cry in the corner, Dane.

I've seen people over there advocate for the mass murder of everyone that's a boomer or older.

The amount of people wishing death, violence, and dancing on graves is by far the worst thing going over there.

I may be an ass, but that shit isnt my game. I'm a man of peace.

You dont see it?

REALLY?

I mean there are at least two others who are about as overt as you can be without slurs.

Especially how they talk about the tribe of tiny hats. They're really upset about them.

I can attest to this... There have been a couple, maybe a few, times I was asked to chill. It works very well, no mater the Mod.

Thanks obama.

This is plain and simple wrong. Are you really saying that one has to be in the majority to be racist? Please clarify what you mean.

:thumb:

:spock:

**** off, Bitch.

YOU don't have biracial children nor are you married to a non-White person, so the mere idea that you're going school me over racism is laughable at best and beyond ****ing STUPID at worst.

Go cuddle with your lifesized poster of Dick Cheney, woman.
