ChiefsPlanet Keep your political bullshit in DC and out of all other forums - Page 25

**DaFace** · 06:25 PM

We're seeing an uptick in people randomly throwing out political bullshit in threads in the Lounge. Don't. Report people who do. They'll get booted from the thread for a first offense and more than that if they continue.

The end.

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.

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...

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.

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?

Inquiring minds want to know.......

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.

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.
