How can we improve Chiefs discussion around here?

I've mentioned my disappointment in the quality of discussion in a few threads lately, but figured it's worth a more meta discussion to figure out 1) if I'm alone in this perception and 2) if there's anything that can be done about it.

Back in the old days, I walked 20 miles to school in the snow uphill both ways!

Err...wait. I mean, ChiefsPlanet was THE place where I got my Chiefs news. If an article was worth reading on another site, it was linked here. If there was a tweet with Chiefs news, it was posted here 30 seconds after it hit Twitter. If someone said something worthwhile on the radio, someone would post about it on here. And (with all due respect to those who like megathreads), you could glance at the front page and have a pretty decent idea of what the big news was for the day.

After returning home from the boonies on Sunday morning, however, I honestly had no idea how the game Saturday even went. I ended up visiting Arrowhead Pride and Chiefs Digest just to get a feel for what went down. Am I the weird one for thinking that that sucks?

Anyway, just figured it's worth the discussion. If it turns out that everyone is pretty content the way things are, I'll just bookmark some other resources and move on with life. But if I'm not alone, what can we do to make things better?

Every thread becomes one part of a megathread on how much Alex Smith sucks or does not. I have stopped reading so many otherwise promising threads as they devolve into the same old tripe nonsense over and over.

How to control that? Probably impossible unless you determine that is trollish behavior and temporarily ban people for wandering off, and staying off, topic.

By using Star Wars as a reference, you just invited the guy that is giving people the most butthurt.

Every "discussion" just keeps coming down to the same old shit from the same handful of posters. I come here more for Royals stuff than Chiefs stuff anymore.

The arguments get really lame. Reading over and over the same diatribe of "you all will see, we will suck again this year" runs rampant.

That's Clay, SDH, and the poster formerly known as InMem.

The problem is you guys getting butthurt by their posts. You engage the troll, you aren't allowed to cry about the troll. It's that simple.

To a certain extent, but rehashing the same shit over and over and over ruins discussion about the Chiefs.

My thinking behind it just that more focus for a thread = less chance for devolution into an "Alex sucks" thread, so it wouldn't be a "talk about the LB's" thread so much as a "How did the LB's look in Preseason Game 1" kind of deal. Or if something happened in the game, we would specifically talk about it. Just random ideas from game 1 that would have made good threads:

"Injury updates"
"Damn, Chase Daniel looked really good!"
"Cardinals announcers suck balls."
"OMG our WR's can score TD's! (against backups anyway"

This. I crack up at the insults and the name calling. I like the intricacies of the personalities here and how they meld into a full blown battle royal from time to time. It give the place a personality. It's when the persona takes over a poster that it becomes tiresome.

I'm sure that has absolutely nothing to do with how good the Royals are and how bad the Chiefs are.....

I agree. To actually have a football discussion that doesn't instantly resolve into shitty bashing every time would be amazing.

Make two megathreads which must contain all the bitching.

1) Alex Smith Sucks So Post Here MegaThread

2) Chiefs Suck Megathread

Yeah, because the Chiefs are bad................

Not one media source thinks the Chiefs are going to be bad. And that in itself is a huge problem.

Until the whole ****ing thread becomes bullshit. Others engage while threads get ruined with 20 pages or more of shit.

I like this team..it's why I'm here. If I want to listen to someone shit on them everyday...I can go to a rival's site. I have nothing against criticism...as long as it's based in reality.

There's certainly a small issue that "not winning a Super Bowl" is consider to be "shitty" these days, but I'm not convinced that's the main issue here. There was plenty of interesting discussion during the Herm years even.
