ChiefsPlanet Minor change in philosophy - Page 8

**DaFace** · 02-08-2017, 10:29 AM

Back when I joined ChiefsPlanet, new users could pretty much register, confirm their email address, and immediately start posting. That meant that we often got a lot of n00bs during game weeks from opposing fans, for example, because they wanted to jump in and talk about the game.

At some point maybe 3-5 years ago, a change was made in an attempt to keep out recently-banned users and porn spammers that required every new user to be manually approved by a mod before they'd be allowed to post. In concept, this makes a lot of sense. In reality, though, it resulted in large delays between registration and being able to post that ranged from a few hours to more than a week (depending on how often the mods checked the queue and went through everyone).

As an experiment, starting today we're going back to the old approach. It may not last, but we want to see if we see an uptick in n00b participation. Hopefully it's a change for the better, but we'll see.

Related to that, though, the mods won't be able to keep the "bad guys" from getting into the Planet in the first place, so please use the report function to report anything we should take a close look at. In addition, if you have infraction powers and someone starts spamming porn all over the place, feel free to infract the hell out of them until the mods can get in and take care of it.

No promises it'll stay this way, but we figured we'd give it a try.

Well, that was easy.

HAI GUISE!

Mods, can I have my original account unbanned since I didn't violate any of the TOS when I was banned?

I want everyone to know that this was my idea. Feel free to rep me for it.

I also thought Hootie being banned before the World Series was terrible. If anyone sees that he's back, let me know.

Like. At least until it's proven to problematic. And I trust the mods will know when it's problematic.

It's really just a matter of defining "problemmatic." Obviously we didn't intend for Hootie and kcnative to come rushing back in, so it's a question of "is that a problem?"

I think, overall, everyone should consider this offseason a time of experimentation (I'll bring the lube!) to see what ideas make sense and what doesn't. We're not going to hit everything on the head, but hopefully the end result is more good than bad.
