Hey everyone!
It's the end of the 2022 regular season and we are overdue for this. Before we get to everything, lets show some love to our new mods :
3 MILLION USERS!
For a sub that doesn't appear on r/all, hitting the 3 million mark is pretty damn good! According to Reddit, we were also the 9th most-engaged subreddit in the United States. (Engagement = posts and comments submitted).
As of writing this, we are already to 3.2 million users. Maybe 4 million by 2024?
Highlights Rule Update
We've updated the Highlight rule to allow for keeping actual video highlight posts over Twitter highlights:
Highlights must have non-editorialized descriptions of the play, be tagged as a [Highlight] in the title, be from a high quality source (v.redd.it/Streamable/Clippit/official YouTube channels) or Twitter if not available elsewhere and be from an NFL game. Mod discretion may be used to keep a high quality source over an earlier posted Twitter highlight.
Twitter highlights vary wildly in quality and there is no reason to remove a better qaulity highlight because a lower quality one showed up first. There is a matter of time at play, a nice video posted 20 minutes later won't be kept. It'd be better to just put that link in the already existing post. Also keep in mind low quality or tv recordings are always removed.
Injury Replays
Just a reminder, if it is a replay showing an injury, tag it as [Injury] instead of [Highlight].
Managing Breaking News Posts Moving Forward
Demar Hamlin's injury and the subsequent posts cemented our need to lock down comments in these posts that follow breaking news. Reddit has recently enabled the ability to filter comments and posts by a user's subreddit karma. This will allow us to keep out trolls on unused accounts and brigades from subs that want to highlight their ignorance.
Prediction Posts
We have completed the first regular season of Reddit Prediction Posts, with a few hiccups. Thousands of you have competed each week and it's fun to see the engagement. How do you all feel about them in general? Should we add other polls to spice it up?
Reminder that if you don't want to see those posts, simply block u/The_Cooler_NFL_Mod and you will never see another one. Prediction Posts are the only thing that account does, so you won't miss anything besides those.
Twitter vs. Self Posts
"Mods love twitter posts!", "This would be removed if it wasn't a tweet"...
For years this has been the complaint and we remove tweets everyday. When a post toes the line we discuss as a team and decide if it should be removed. We know we need continue to improve on this and we are working on it.
Of course, any source is allowed to be posted, but for good or bad, Twitter is usually the first with breaking news.
If you see a tweet posted that is just a joke or a dumb hot take, hit report on it and let us know. We do try to keep only relevant posts up, but we are not always online to see things as they happen.
For self posts, the issue we see is there are plenty of self posts, but many are not upvoted and go unseen by most users. If you see some content you like, please upvote it so it can be seen!
The Future of Wagers Threads
The Wagers Thread goes back to the 2012 season in this sub. They were popular for a long time but in recent years they have declined in use. Sometimes there are less than 10 comments in a post. Is this something we should keep doing? Or should we let it go?
We ask that if you see someone breaking the rules, please hit 'report' on their comment so that we can take a look. With the 30,000 up to 60,000 comments that fly through here each day, there is simply no way for us to see them all. If someone is being abusive, let us know! We want game threads (or any post) to be open to everyone to share their awful, awful opinions.
As always, post your thoughts in the comments below.
Mods suck, updoots to the left.
