There are plenty of other Chiefs boards and other social media sites these days. Instead of trying to make this one just like all the others, why not just try them out?

I thought the number would be low, and I feel that it wouldn't impact negatively in terms of the traffic the board gets. And I agree with you that it probably would make the board a better place.

Wouldn't surprise me. As I mentioned, I am not privy to those conversations, but if I may ask, what were the pros and cons of said discussion? Us general users who aren't moderators/administrators don't know of the conversations that was discussed/held.
I'm not being snarky or anything like that, just genuine asking. Like for example, when it was mentioned about the Feds getting involved on a incident, I'm sure it caused a lot of anxiety for you guys? I can imagine that doing away DC would alleviate some of potentional problems there?

I don't think it will kill the traffic, because this board has a lot of users. But I am aware that I don't have the evidence or numbers to prove that theory, and I am not privy to the conversations the mods/admins if they ever discussed that scenario.

Ironically the only reason I started posting there was because I got a bit tired of people telling me to kill myself over things like my belief that Brandon flowers was better than Terrence copper.
I actually found DC LESS hostile than the main forum back when KC was bad... or when every thread turned into an arguement about alex smith.
Hell, last year I bailed because this forum had a huge chris jones hate squad insisting he was THE problem with the defense.
Its annoying to argue with a dozen people all barfing out that kind of dumbassary

Those people should be restricted as DC scum.
There’s also some who don’t contribute at all and don’t run away to their board without letting one contribute (looking at some one who’s username is similar to JacoTohn).

It all started on the KC Star board. It was, in fact, politics that led to the creation of CP in the first place.
The mods there took a heavy hand, not only moderation politics but moderating anybody that was against the heavy moderation.
The idea with DC was to have a sandbox where politics could exist but keep it walled off from the Lounge. I don't think anybody really anticipated that the vitriol of the 2000 election was a tiny snowflake compared to the avalanche that American politics is 20 years later.
Can't believe that shit about Reerun. Jesus. You'd think somebody dealing with VIPs of that level (regardless of whether or not they're pieces of shit) would know better than to talk about specifics. At all.

All of this division will lead to the great healing of 'Murica...
As for it happening on a sports board, since the primary employees of "sports" are so politically active and expressive, it's not much of a stretch to see it cascade into the fans.

Or not.
Of all the sports message boards I’m active on, this is the only one that has a political subforum.
