Just a few notes from the new Sports mod

Recommended Posts

I guess Dr. Tom got drunk last night and gave me mod powers over this folder. I'll try to not be too heavy-handed, but any threads about basketball or hockey will immediately be deleted since there are no Boston teams involved, Yankee fans will have to convert, and I will require a daily thread paying hommage to myself and your Lord of Football, William Belichick.

 

If you haven't been paying attention, I am kidding.

 

Seriously, I think this is one of the better forums at TSM, so I won't really step into any topics unless things get too out of hand. I mostly will be keeping things in order and making sure people can find the more important threads more easily. I'm just making a few moves to start:

 

- Unpinning the Mock Draft thread and putting the Official Draft thread in it's place for about a week, so everyone can discuss how their team turned out and such. Any "rate your team's performance" or "how did your team turn out?" threads will be closed.

 

- Pinning both NHL and NBA playoff threads until their respective playoffs are over.

 

- I was going to pin the This Week in Baseball threads, but I think five pinned threads is enough, unless Lightning Flik or Tom wouldn't mind me unpinning their Fantasy League threads. Once the playoffs end, I will pin the baseball threads each week. I was thinking of pinning AS' Yankee bitching thread for it's entertainment value alone, but I decided not to.

 

Anyone that has any questions can PM me anytime and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Or you can reply to this thread.

 

Thank you.

It's a stupid idea to put all the rate your team's draft crap into the Draft thread.

 

One thread on rating the draft doesn't hurt.

From looking over the last few pages of that thread, people are already starting to do it. If people think that a seperate rating thread would be a better idea, then I don't see a problem.

I really don't think the fantasy threads should be sticked. One of them don't even have a post since the 9th. It's not like it's THAT hard to find a thread if it goes to the 2nd page or whatever either.

Usually I don't think threads need to be pinned. If a thread falls off the front page, it probably wasn't all too good anyway. Exceptions can be made, but when we have 5-6 pinned threads, its too much.

 

I think the fantasy baseball threads can be unpinned. Correspondance in those leagues should be encouraged on the draft pages themselves. Better to use Yahoo's resources than ours.

I agree that 5-6 pinned threads is too many, but I'm not going to pin that many; that's why I was thinking about unpinning the fantasy threads (though someone beat me to it). Right now, the NFL Draft and the NHL and NBA playoffs are the big things in the sports world, so their threads get pinned. I'll pin the next TWiB thread (and the ones that follow) just so it's easy to find.

Nice one for getting the job, as per a discussion we have been having in the football thread, could you rename the thread from the 1st division football thread, to English Football, 2004-2005 season, as this season is about to end in 2 weeks time, then everyone will be looking towards Euro 2004, then pre season.

Since I've got my computer back, let me say I don't mind this at all.
