Evolve27 has been temp banned and Thatguy is gone forever.

Dude decided to test the waters earlier with inane bumps of 3 threads. You reported and infracted him. We've banned him for 5 days.

That's really all there is to say about it.

Additionally, based on Thatguy's activity on this thread and reports that trolling is his MO we've dumped him permanently. He seems to be a mult of another permabanned username as well, so I'm not really going to spend much time explaining or defending it. We like people who want to contribute to the board's discussion and we even tolerate a little trolling for entertainment value - but if that's all you bring to the table, we don't want you. Farewell.

For future bannings of regulars, this sticky thread with all the details will be SOP to avoid 3 or 4 different threads and 1000 different questions. Hope this helps.

(without a report) which is where I believe most of the perceived infractions take place. If you think somebody is breaking the rules, report the post and we'll decide. But again, being a racist isn't against the rules. Saying something that could be construed as racist isn't against the rules. Stereotypes aren't against the rules. Racial slurs and blatant racism is against the rules. For instance, calling Michelle Obama "the First Chimp" is blatantly racist and something you probably don't see much any longer. If you see it, report it and it will be dealt with.

It doesn't take a genius to recognize that the web traffic on Chiefsplanet is significantly down from years past.

There is competition that does the same thing Chiefsplanet does, only better.

Keep banning people and soon you will have an empty, dead message board.

Of course you already know a thing or two about lifeless forums, given your recent past with Warpaint Illustrated.

As a worthless pos banned user I think banning thatguy is a good move. I befriended him once, then he went on to be thatguy.... and consider the source here.

I just wanted to say that I recognize your humility and grace in accepting the ban and coming back gracefully. Thank you for your private apology. It's more than most people do. So no hard feelings and welcome back.

Just for the record, this is false. We're down from 2009, but that year was clearly an anomaly. We're actually up quite a bit from last year at this time.

You just contradicted yourself... "it is false that Chiefsplanet is down from years past, but we are down from 2009", despite an offseason that saw the Chiefs involved with the highest profile free agency pursuit, Peyton Manning, since Joe Montana.

And even that couldn't bump up web traffic.

Reading comprehension is hard, I know. There are places that can help with that.

And the 26 titles previous. I have no misconceptions about who my team is and who your team is. But you can win the WS every year from now until I'm dead and we can finish last and my team will still be my team.

Heh. Given my recent past with WPI? I took that board from 20 posts per day to over 2000 posts per day in < 1 year and then it dried up again after I left.

Traffic on this site isn't down whatsoever. I think everybody of consequence here values quality over quantity but thank you for sharing your opinion on the matter.

I asked for the ban and deserved it. I know better. Don't give me too much credit for showing my ass. Thanks tho anyway.

We all show our ass now and then. But few handle their return as well as you have. I'd say most people know they probably earned their ban but very few of them come back, apologize, and admit they deserved it. You deserve credit for that.
