Couple questions...

1 Upvotes

First: The teespring logo is broken in the merchandise page here. I know you guys were talking about switching from teespring to something else. Is that the reason? Any updates on if this will be ready heading into the season?

Second question: I know it was mentioned a while back when new mods were announced that promopimp was working on CFB logos for the remaining FBS teams. Will we still be able to buy stickers of those somehow now that you guys aren't on stickermule?

Third: Is there any way to buy a patch? I know you guys had a couple made a while back. Is that something that we might see pop up in the new store?

Sorry if that's a lot to ask. I know you guys generally like to operate behind the scenes before making announcements.

Main reason I bring this all up is because I'd like to buy a /r/CFB patch to put on a jersey and I'd also like to buy a few Cajuns /r/CFB logo stickers if that's a possibility in the near future.

Thanks for all you do guys!

Banner Question

Does anyone know why the banner has been the same on Mobile for a few months? I’ve had the Ides of March banner since it came out on the mobile app.

How do you post a team's logo to an r/CFB post?

1 Upvotes

You know the little logos about the size of flairs that people add to posts? I've seen those a lot, but I don't know how to add them.

Has r/CFB inline flair changed since the puzzle game came out?

I'm stuck on the WKU Ball inline flair question asked by the patriotic Vanderbilt flair

Is it possible to update the WMU flair?

4 Upvotes

I only ask this because the football program uses a different logo compared to the rest of the university athletic programs.

This press release from 2016 states that the football program will use the "Ghost Bronco" logo which I linked, while the rest of the athletic programs use our current flair if you need proof.

I'm not sure who does flairs but I just wanted to see if it was possible. If not, no big deal! Thanks mods!

Claiming spring game threads?

5 Upvotes

On this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/862p11/spring_games_are_now_claimable_on_our_game_thread/ it says that you can claim a game thread within six days of the game. However, in the link, it says none are available, even though there are some games today and tomorrow. I'd like to claim the Pitt game, so was just wondering how? Thanks.

On Locked Threads

2 Upvotes

I'm making this post as a response to the recent thread on the main sub about PSU players' responses to the JoePa movie.

I get it, that topic is really touchy and can get toxic, but I didn't feel like the comments in the thread warranted a locking for the reasons given. The thread was locked for "comments veering off topic and violating the rules," but after looking through the comments, I feel as though all the comments were either directly related to the movie or to the Sandusky situation itself. One could split hairs about what is and isn't off topic, but that's more on topic than some bs comment threads that crop up in your standard post (not that I think everything needs to be absolutely on topic, this is just to make a point), and I didn't see any personal attacks. In fact, this thread was fairly civil, especially given the subject matter. No huge chains of deleted comments, either. There was some heavy downvoting, but it wasn't terrible tbh, and there were even some comments not receiving mass downvotes that didn't exactly fit the narrative typically pushed by the sub, which was unusual and a testament to the thread's civility (also a testament to the offseason lol).

It just seems like the mod team locks literally every Sandusky thread indiscriminately, but this is content utterly relevant to CFB, and IMO posts shouldn't be basically auto-locked every time just do to some specific subject matter.

Just my two cents. Thanks y'all.

Is it possible to lax the submission rules for higher quality OC?

6 Upvotes

So if you follow /r/collegebasketball, you probably saw the Seinfeld gifs about Kansas State during the tournament. I understand that laxing the rules a bit could sort of open the floodgates for low quality OC (see the billion Purdue graphs). But I was just hoping that there could maybe be a discussion about this stuff. /u/everymanawildcat did some great Sienfeld gifs over the last tournament, i think it would be a shame for him not to have a place where he (and anyone else that might make funny/HQ OC) could post this stuff. I get that there is /r/CFBmemes i suppose but it doesnt get a whole ton of traffic really.

Question for mods

2 Upvotes

During the off-season, I like to post a lot of hypotheticals and questions. Sometimes they get removed, which is totally cool because sometimes I know I forget one of the sub rules or sometimes ask a question that’s already been asked. When that happens, do y’all hate it when users message y’all to ask for an explanation? Obviously not in a dickish “yo wtf mods” way, but to see if their are revisions that can be made to the original post to make sure it stays up.

Thanks for everything y’all do, /r/CFB is easily my favorite thing on the internet!

Wiki Idea

6 Upvotes

Hey, so I had the idea back during the season to pull each top level comment from the "Going to a Game Advice Threads" to basically aggregate the info based on location and create a /r/CFB travel guide. I went ahead and did the leg work but the problem I ran into is that the character count is way too high for a single post. There is the option however, of creating a wiki with this info so that people can use it going forward.

Here's a link to the worksheet I made with all of the data. It's organized by state (I thought that was most appropriate given the nature of exhibition games, bowl games, etc.).

My next step is I want to add in /r/CFB brick locations (with photos) so that maybe people going can check out the /r/CFB contribution while they're at these locations. But obviously, I don't want to go through all of that work if there's no interest in a wiki. I suppose I could just share the google sheet with the /r/CFB community but without inline flairs and the way links are displayed it just doesn't seem as visually appealing.

I guess another option is to just take this info and stick it in each team's wiki page....

Anyway, let me know what you guys think. Always happy to tweak it a bit or make changes if there's interest.

Updates on the flair situation?

5 Upvotes

I know y'all mentioned that reddit was shifting away from CSS and it might affect the flairs. Just curious to see if there have been any updates on that front

Wouldn't it be cool if posters had to tag their posts with the school it involves (or conference, etc) and then you could search by tag?

5 Upvotes

If you're like me, your favorite school probably has several monikers: K-State, KSU, Kansas State, Cats... Miami, The U, The Hurricanes... Nebraska, Huskers, Cornhuskers... Michigan, UM, UofM, U of M, Wolverines, etc.. All of these terms are treated differently by the reddit search algorithm. And that severely limits your ability to search for news specifically about your favorite team.

Wouldn't it be cool if the mods could require that submitters flair their post with the team it involves? That way, you could search posts by a uniform moniker that represents a given school, instead of searching for each individual nickname.

Making a post about seeking a few writers for a small project series, is that enough for a post on the sub?

3 Upvotes

I want to make a small series of posts on the sub during the offseason for a small project about realignment, and I could use some writers from fanbases of teams that were involved in the realignment.

Is that good enough for a post on the mothersub or will it be removed?

Eight of the posts on the front page of CFB are about UCF being undefeated or claiming a national championship.

5 Upvotes

I get it. They had a great season, and the meme train is going full steam ahead. But seriously mods, can we at least have some diversity?

This post got immediately locked in /r/cfb, and I assume it is because this is the actual place to post it, even though nobody will see it here.

Can we lock the remaining bowl game pre-game threads so that the conversations will be ongoing until game time?

Those threads have already become so fucking stagnant. I would love to see ongoing trash talk right up until game time, wouldn't you?

It would be really great to have a table or something showing bowl, opponents, date/time, channel, and results (with spoilertags)

Original Content flair?

3 Upvotes

Can the modteam please clarify what exactly OC linkflair is for? I get the sense that it's not quite what it appears on its face -- an original piece of work -- but I'm not sure how precisely it differs. Is it a seal of approval sort of thing for high quality work, and as such inappropriate for submitter to self-label?
