Gotcha, yeah, many people seem on board with a merge, but given that some people aren't and it's not particularly close to unanimous I don't think we will be doing it. Thanks for the feedback!
It's all good, I've added you back. Traffic has definitely fallen off in the offseason, but I didn't want to just have a list of 10 mods with 8 of them being inactive haha. If you do not want to mod you can let me know and I'll remove you again. Thanks for the reply.
I've removed pretty much every moderator besides the one who replied to my post the other day and the new one I've added this week.
-
If you're one of the former moderators that was removed and want to be added back, again, reply here. I tagged you all 4-5 days ago and received no replies so I've assumed you have all either moved on from LW or do not want to moderate here any longer.
-
If you're a user here that has time to clean up shitposts, off-topic nonsense, and keep threads clean(ish) feel free to reply.
For the time being stream links are still allowed to be posted until I get cracked down on by someone else for it, so whoever is added you are not required to delete these at this time.
So it would seem, would you like to be added as a mod? I see you active and working on game threads
I mean, I'm not leaning more one way than the other, it just seemed like a reasonable proposal to put it all under one roof. I consulted the community for a reason, it isn't just my opinion that matters regardless. Thank you for the input.
That's fair, but do you really feel there needs to be two co-existing communities for the same thing with less than 5k people in this one?
I am actually the one that gave you PS5 haha, but thanks for the input
May I ask when you were banned? Because YoBuckStopsHere only recently became the owner of the community, it may have been the prior mods/owners that did it.
They want an echo chamber, and that’s not how political news works.
I whole heartedly agree.
Over the past week or two, I've been discussing merging this community with c/world. The intents and purposes of both of these communities are essentially the same, and we don't really see a reason to divide that community rather than just put it all under one roof.
We're open to any and all opinions on this, and nothing is set in stone so please feel free to reply candidly.
Please speak up especially if you feel like:
-
You wouldn't like this for really any reason
-
You feel this community already serves a different purpose
-
You feel this community could serve a different purpose, and include what changes you'd like to see to meet that goal.
I work with the head mod of c/world, @YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world, on c/NFL and talk to him regularly, we're both pretty much on the same page about everything and moderate communities in a similar manner, so if your only reservation would be possible stricter or different moderation, I hope that alleviates some of the concern. All of the mods from here would also be welcome to join over there if we do merge.
Modded you, but yeah if you and rezz want to take the lead on that and figure it out go for it. I sent rezz I reply earlier about another bot that some of my other communities was using before that one also died, but I had to github link so maybe they will be able to figure it out
He's been banned and (most) of the comments removed.
So the mod Barns made/ported the other NBA bot, the bot I was talking with someone about in my DMs was a different bot, but I believe it's one that gets used on Reddit a lot that was ported here and stopped working. The user had it working on my Phillies sub for ~half the summer until it stopped.
The bot is called "redball" and it's on github, I believe this is the link https://github.com/toddrob99/redball
Again, not the same exact bot as far as I'm aware, but it did work well when it was up, I think it was actually quite simply banned for spam posting & possibly not flagging itself as a bot and the owner of the account just got pissed off and didn't want to work on it anymore at least on LW.
Yeah, it seems like a fair approach, if you're up to the task I can mod you so that you can pin them though.
Yeah, I think they sent it to me in PMs when I was discussing trying to get it migrated to NFL, let me check and get back to you.
Gotcha (and gotcha on the reply for the comment I just tagged you in). I agree about threads for every game, but it's definitely a lot of work to do manually, if we have people willing to do it I'm game though. I just can't personally commit to getting them all up
Moderator check, no idea if everyone I added back in June is still active, reply here if you're still around and still want to mod, if you don't reply within ~a week I'll assume you've moved on from LW and remove you.

Hey everyone, welcome back.
Between the end of last season and now we had a bot that was working for gamethreads, but it's since stopped working and the owner is not really interested in getting it working again.
If anyone is capable of setting up another bot or has a working bot for game threads please contact me.
If not, I am looking to add moderators that are willing and able to get up game threads (and moderate them if needed).
On c/nfl we tried threads for every game and it simply isn't populated enough to have that many threads and everyone decided to just do a Thursday/Sunday/Monday thread. What does everyone think about maybe a weekly thread for all of the games or would you prefer game threads for each individual game? (if you check NFL and see an "NFL bot" account posting the game threads, it was supposed to be a bot, but we couldn't get it going and log in and post them manually from it).
Edit - And lastly, obviously, part of the point in modding whoever posts these is so that they can be pinned by the poster.
Hey, we had a bot that broke at some point over the offseason and the creator isn't interested in fixing it, do you have any interest in being modded to handle game threads going forward?
I mean, modlogs on LW are publicly viewable, feel free to check mine out where you’ll see I did not ban you from anything.
Any recommendations will be taken into consideration, weekly threads, daily threads, etc.
Free talk thread to discuss what you’ve been watching and ask for recommendations. Be sure to tag spoilers.

What we're looking for--
Being a news community, moderating here is essential. Moderation of news preferably requires leaving personal biases aside and allowing otherwise relevant content to stay up even if you disagree with it. Also, posting from less biased sources is always preferred.

The following teams still have not contacted me to be included in the sidebar. If you're a fan of one of these teams feel free to start up a community! I will help moderate it until more people come along to pass the community over to if you don't want the responsibility. (or if there is already an existing community please comment it for inclusion).

With r/nba closed indefinitely, more people will likely stumble upon this community, the best way to build a strong community, for now, is to also have fans and communities for all teams.
Authorities say an American man has been arrested over the death of one U.S. tourist and an assault on another near Neuschwanstein castle in southern Germany after he allegedly pushed the two women down a steep slope.
If you're interested in assisting moderation of any of the communities I moderate/own shoot me a message.
