ChiefsPlanet Keep your political bullshit in DC and out of all other forums - Page 29

**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.

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.

I've seen people in there pile on someone for linking to CNN or CBS News and just get pulverized for even doing something so "vile" and "false". I don't see how anyone familiar with Hammock Parties could think, for even a second, that it's not something he believes because just as he did with Alex Smith, the dude just ****ing RAGES at anyone that doesn't share his beliefs.

And don't even get me started on people like GloryDayz or Shitsprayer because there's no way in the world that you can convince me that they're just using the DC to "blow off steam". They express their views in that forum because they believe in those views.

And JFC, Taco John? What a ****ing phony. The same dude that banned Chiefsplanet members for even talking about the Chiefs on his shitty forum is the biggest nut and most unhinged person to maybe ever post on the internet. Is he blowing off steam with his vapid conspiracy theories, including the claim that the fly that landed on Pence's head was a Visual Effect (VFX)? I mean, what the ****, man? The technology to render an effect like that, in Real Time, across multiple feeds, does not exist in any way, shape or form.

And therein, again, lies the problem: Too many of these people feel the same exact way outside of this forum as they do inside this forum, which ultimately leads to those same exact people politicizing everything.

Who is blowing off steam and who is serious? Because calling for the murder of an elected government official isn't funny, sarcastic or "blowing off steam".

And what happens if someone from that forum actually does attempt to murder an elected official? What happens then?

To be fair, we've already had someone fired from their job and arrested because of shit they said in DC. You don't have to worry much about DC being on the feds' radar. It definitely is.

Of course you don't, because you (falsely) believe that White people are under attack, which is so incredibly ludicrous that I all I can do is shake my head when I read that kind of epic nonsense.

But sure, I'm open-minded: I'm more than happy to hear about you, a White male, and your experience or experiences, as a victim of racism in the United States.

Seriously? I did not know that happened. I'm actually stunned.

When did that occur?

I've turned into a loudmouth in DC, I'll admit it. Not exactly proud of it, but I'll admit it. I've turned it into a place where I can vent my political frustrations on people that I know disagree with me and will fire back. It's kind of cathartic, I won't lie. I don't "hate" those I get into it with over there, and in fact, I'm kind of glad they get into it because it's likely better to do that there than get drunk in a bar and engage with some equally pissed random looking to blow off steam. I don't think RodeoPants is going around calling people ****s that disagree with him in the real world, nor is cosmo calling people assholes, nor is oaklandhater screaming at old people to die, nor is Clay threatening anyone's lives, nor is anyone openly mocking anyone else for having different opinions on the street. I'd rather have words thrown at me by someone else on this site that is as equally frustrated as I am and get it out of our systems than some other alternative.

Take me for example, I'm a very nice person outside of the CP DC...

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

The only thing you know about my family is that my daughters were underage when you were posting (or maybe fantasizing about) them doing porn. That creepy deal happened 6 or 7 years ago. They’re all grown up now so fantasize away.

God bless your kids and wife for the cross they must have to bear.

Yes, unfortunately, I know.

Spoiler!

What the **** are you talking about? You're a liar and and unhinged psycho.

I have a FULL PAGE of Positive Reps from you, including multiples in 2013.

Are you looking to be banned?

Oh bullshit. They did other things in their life that caused that. Posting on CP had nothing to do with it. maybe used to validate or whatever but come on.
They got arrested or lost their jobs because of what they said on CP?
no way. Feds "radar"?

Here's the thing.

Whether you realize it or not, you're politicizing this very post.

Every name you listed sits on one side of the aisle.

There's plenty of cosmo's, Rodeo's, and Iguana's on the other side that do the same thing.

That's part of the problem. People only tend to point out the people they disagree with and either don't see, or don't want to see, when people they would otherwise agree with, do the same thing.

There's a small group of people, conservative AND liberal, that live in DC, rarely post in the Lounge, and absolutely do believe the sewer that spews from the end of their fingers on a daily basis.

Rick Moranis wants his jaw back.

Perhaps your just blind to the attacks that white people suffer these days. If you're not ignorant to what's happening these days (thanks Obama), feel free to justify it any way you want.

Now we can get into a long debate about what the definition of "racism" is. It's always fun.

Sure, I didn't mention those people because they're in the EXTREME minority but yes, I fully agree, 100%

Yes. He was arrested and fired because of the post on ChiefsPlanet. He's a pilot and threatened to crash his plane carrying Elizabeth Warren a day before he was scheduled to fly her.

We were contacted by the FBI about it and required to preserve records of the posts.

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.

I don’t fit in either of those categories.
