2021 Q1 Fireside Chat: Low-Effort Tweets, a Community-Driven Blacklist, Charity Posts...and more! Share Your Feedback and Vote in our Poll!

Hey everyone!

The season is over, the Bucs are Super Bowl champs, and it's time for the periodic airing of grievances. But before we start we'd like to introduce our newest mods. Everyone welcome and heckle:

  • criminysakes

  • DrewLockedandLoaded

  • No32

and the baffling but welcome return of LL_Cruel_J

And now on with the show!

Rethinking Low Effort Tweets:

We talked about this in the last FSC. Below is the text, and you can review the original discussion here. Right now we are asking for you to formally put your vote in using the poll at the bottom of this post:

Current r/NFL rules on self-posts stipulate that Redditors are required to post "well thought out ideas/interesting scenarios" and "uncommon/interesting observations."

The rules also explicitly do not allow "short-form hot take commentary" which "...includes self and link posts." We recognize that shallow Twitter hot take posts have become a prevalent part of sub discussion (e.g. lol Jets are bad, wHy NoT bIenIeMy tweets).

After listening to the community's feedback on the consistency of the mod team with regards to enforcing "hot take commentary" rules, we recognize there might be a double standard for what we allow from Twitter versus what we allow from a Redditor.

Examples of Twitter Hot Take Posts:

  • [Greenberg] I have no doubt the #Jets practice offense, but when they play you genuinely wouldn’t know it.

  • [Greenberg]I have watched a lot of bad football in my life. I’ve never seen a team as bad as the 2020 New York #Jets. There isn’t anything they do well. They are unprepared, undisciplined, and look like they absolutely hate playing. If ownership isn’t embarrassed by this they never will be.

  • [Benjamin Solak] The Jets fired Todd Bowles to hire Adam Gase

Putting an end to low-effort Twitter hot takes on r/NFL is a common complaint. We'd like you to sound off below on where you stand, and vote in the poll at the end of this post.

Establishing a Blacklist:

Continuing the trend established above with Twitter hot take posts, we'd like to bring up the idea of a community-driven "blacklist" for discussion. There are some prominent sports figures/accounts who exist only to troll and draw attention to themselves. Their commentary rarely generates meaningful discussion, and much of the time the comments descend to a combination of personal attacks and fanbase attacks.

The mod team wants to ask the community two questions here:

Should a community-driven blacklist of Twitter personalities and websites be established?

If yes, which accounts/websites would you add to this list?

In the event a blacklist is established, in the spirit of transparency, the mod team will publish this list in the Wiki section and update it as accounts/sites are added or removed.

Post your thoughts in the comments below and respond to the poll at the end of this.

Charity-Related Posts:
