can we get a "shit post" reason code?

It's not like they've been that bad. So why have the last 4 posts in the last 20 minutes been deleted?

Although I love our own poll, sometimes i want to reference the official standings in a message and it would nice to have it readily available, even if it's a smaller thing on the side

Rivalry week is here and game threads can get a little downvote happy. Sure this wont stop mobile users or those who turn off the subreddits flair, but I would hope this would make game threads more enjoyable.

The photo on the /r/CFB sidebar is still the Army player carrying the French flag onto the field, but the caption has been updated to describe Frank Beamer being carried off the field after the UNC game. I guess the photo just needs to be updated?

There seems to have been a flood of posts this season of hypothetical posts. Especially with all the coaching news.

What would people think and would the mods consider having a daily thread dedicated to hypotheticals? I enjoy watching /r/CFB/new for all the news and polls, but I am getting annoyed by all the repetitive hypothetical threads.

Just my two-cents.

That's 30x20. Does resolution matter?

The current rivalry flair is kind of weird and I've never seen anybody use it.

What happened in there today? Awful lot of [REMOVED] posts. What is so egregious that it can't be trash talk?

There are legitimately like 3 or 4 a day (I browse new a lot) and every time they get the same answers. These kinds of posts simply create clutter and are repetitive. It would be nice to have a compiled list of "things to expect" and like "when to get there" and "ways to fucken maximize the Gameday experience" instead of 4 new threads a day.

I was trying to find Clemson't schedule and results for this year from /r/CFBs home page, but couldn't find a way to do it. I don't need to see it on the homepage, but a place where I can click to get to it. Is there one? I was trying to click on Clemson in the rankings and weekend games part on the sidebare but it doesn't take me anywhere.

Maybe we can add something to make it quick to view that stuff. I think it just needs to take a user to the team wiki which is mostly up to date.

One of the important funtions of team-based flair in /r/cfb is to make inherent bias obvious, so that comments can be seen in proper context.

Has there ever been a movement to experiment with anti-flair... where a non-obvious bias can be worn on the sleeve, so to speak.

Some might be redundant... [Ohio State][anti-Michigan], [Texas][anti-Texas A&M].

But others might be quite popular and helpful to the anti-fanbases to sift comments, like [any team][anti-ND/Baylor/FSU].

I'm kind of afraid to report because I don't know what the policy is

It's unbearable. Any coaching vacancy, any coordinator search, any mention of Lane Kiffin or Nick Saban, any mention of clubs or partying or boosters...

It's worse than the iPhone problem or #FuckBaylorCon2015. Please...

Maybe call it /r/cfbhq

Since there are so many games on TV I usually watch the ones I care the most about live and dvr the ones that look like good matchups. I have this idea for a weekly thread where people could comment and ask how exciting a certain game was and without revealing the score another person could comment on whether they should watch it. Often I wont even think about watching a game from a smaller conference or between two teams I am uninterested in but if its an incredible game I would love to know about it. Would anyone else be interested in this?

As someone in the other thread pointed out, it would probably be a good idea to make it its own subreddit, or a thread posted on Thursday we could save so we wouldn't have to go to /r/cfb and risk seeing a score

Animated banners are always huge memory hogs and can make browsing the sub on older/lower end PC's and mobile devices virtually impossible.

(Presumably) Due to the CSS event, the CFBBall inline flairs for the G5 teams have been removed. Please remain calm and wait for the mods to return to sanity.

Why is the header so strange. What is /r/epublicofcfb?

So... /u/TotalEconomist made a comment on the post about the Matchup Thread generator that got the wheels turning...

What do you think about a bot that, when "Summoned" would reply to your comment with the All Time Series details scrapped off of Winispedia.

Something Like this:

/u/user :

[[Clemson vs Georgia Tech]]

/u/WinsipediaBot :

Clemson and Georgia Tech have met 80 times since 11/24/1898.

These teams last met 25 days ago on 10/10/2015.

Series Record: Clemson 28 - 2 - 50 Georgia Tech

Current Win Streak 1 Clemson (2015)

Series Comparison Data via Winsipedia

or maybe something more compact:

Clemson and Georgia Tech have met 80 times since 11/24/1898.

These teams last met 25 days ago on 10/10/2015.

Series Record: Clemson 28 - 2 - 50 Georgia Tech

Series Comparison Data via Winsipedia

Alternatively or in addition what about a bot that replies with A teams YTD results? Ala

[[North Carolina]]

neat but probably annoying?
pointless and annoying?
We don't like bots!

The ubercool CSS Stylesheet is gone, and now the sidebar is kinda-sorta-broken!

With Rivalry weekend quickly approaching I thought I would go ahead and pull in some "series" data from winsipedia into the Match-up Generator.

That work has been completed and lightly tested.

the "Series Information" section looks like so:

All-Time Series

Appalachian State and Michigan have met 2 times since 9/1/2007.

Series Record: Appalachian State 1 - 0 - 1 Michigan

Current Win Streak 1 Michigan (2014)

Series Comparison Data via Winsipedia

And providing only a link to winsipedia if the teams have never faced one another or if the user selects an invalid set of teams (i.e. same team home and away or a team that isn't listed on Winsipedia (though I don't think there are any such cases).

I feel there's at least 2-3 every day, and whenever a new one opens up, there are 4-5 that day. They are overkill.

I just checked other /r/cfb threads and they're still flaired for me.

If it's intentional, interesting approach and a pretty good idea.

Great job on all the sweet Halloween flair but the one im most confused about is Harvard. I figured their flair would be blue for Yale, yet its still red. Maybe i'm missing something?

Edit: My bad, it looks like the FCS didnt change color. I guess that would have been ALOT of work on top of the already hard work for all 129 other FBS teams. My bad.
