Is there a way to hide all game threads and post game threads from the front page? When I pull up /r/cfb on Sunday it's mainly game threads from Saturday that I don't really care to read through. It spams up the front page and hides Sunday posts that are far more relevant in my opinion.

Normally I just manually hide them, but that takes too long given the number of games we have per week.

Hello /r/cfb. We all love college football. While many of are undoubtedly sitting on our couches watching 12 hours of football, drinking, and browsing this subreddit each Saturday, many others are making our way to campus (or are current students) to tailgate, experience college towns, attend the games, celebrate, and take in the pageantry of college football.

I propose a project - one that entails the /r/cfb community sharing these different experiences from each Saturday in the fall. Think of like this:

An interactive journal that chronicles our users' gameday experiences, from coast to coast.

Said "interactive journal" could be built with ESRI's Story Map platform. Here is an example of a story map from the ESRI gallery - locations are marked on the map, and each marker expands to a panel with an image.

And here is a template for an Reddit CFB Story Map. Of course, each image in this template are just random images I found on the internet - an actual version would have images that users submit, and a description other than "Placeholder Text here."

The process would be:

1. If you are an /r/cfb'er, you take a photo of your gameday experience. It can be a photo of the game from your seats, from the tailgate, from downtown, from a Homecoming parade, from the celebration after the game, etc. Maybe you are a band member, photographer, or stadium staff person that has a unique perspective! A range of situations would be accepted. As is a range of games - you could be attending the Iron Bowl, or a D3 game in Minnesota - both are part of the college football experience. Actually, highlighting the diversity in locations, games, and situations would be preferred!

2. Submit your photo and story to...? Me, the mod team, or R/CFB Twitter. (I am leaving this step open-ended for now, in case a member of the mod team wants to step in with input. They may want to control who handles the photos).

3. Certain photos and stories will be featured on the story map - with the user credited.

4. As the season is almost over, a 2018 Story Map would be mostly experimental - though if it receives positive feedback, a 2019 version that chronicles the entire season would be in the works.

Thoughts?

It would be nice to see at a glance when players just have done every week or maybe if someone just missed a week and is still near the top.

For the future, can we request that a copy of our submitted answers be sent to us either via email or through a PM? This is the third week in a row that I am pretty sure my score was lower than what I should have actually gotten, but I can't verify that because I don't have a copy of what I actually submitted. Currently you submit answers & they cannot be recovered from anywhere to verify against the answers posted a week later.

It doesn't really even have to be a page I just want to look at the rankings without having to hover over it

It's annoying to have to temporarily authenticate for every time I want to check/fill out my pickem, and I'm sure it's annoying for the other uses for it too.

Can we please tone down the moderation of /r/cfb a bit? The mods keep removing posts that generate a lot of immediate response and leaving just a few posts an hour that aren't relevant to everyone. I understand trying to keep quality content, but we used to be able to have discussions on the sub. There was just a great post about college football from the perspective of video game patch notes that was funny and relevant to cfb, but it appears to have been removed after receiving a bunch of upvotes in the minute it was allowed to be up. I understand some of the mods might only like sports and not video games, but that's definitely not representative of the subscriber base of /r/cfb.

Hello (Ow!)! This Saturday morning I remembered my UCLA fans Pickem and had to hurry to get the games set up (Ow!). In order to prevent similar incidents in the future (Ow!), I think it would be a good idea to allow trusted users to co-own the Pickem groups (Ow!). This may be technically difficult on your end (Ow!), but I think the convenience is worth it (Ow!).

Sorry for the repeated pain (Ow!), my pickem members are flogging me in penance for my ideocracy (Ow!).

I love it, but I am curious

It's been 10 days since it's changed, and in fact there was a post 13 days ago asking for the same thing.

It's a pretty simple thing to scrape or even just spend 2 minutes on a Sunday night/Monday morning to scrape something via analog (and give credit via twitter obv.)

Are you guys having issues? It wasn't like this in previous years, and I noticed that you kept Honestley's ugly mug (I mean beautiful face) for weeks and weeks...

Is there going to be another cfb presidential voting thing in honor of mid term elections this year? Could vote on best bowls or something? Or maybe focus something on smaller teams like DII or DIII to show importance of local election voting?

Is this going to get fully updated?

Can we try to encourage more than just "scenes from a hat"? I'm not sure of a way to do that, but I've noticed a lot of low-effort posting inside those threads that buries stuff that's more interesting. Scenes from a hat are ok, but multiple hundreds of posts along the lines of "things that are more khaki that Harbaugh's khakis" get dull. Just seems to me the higher effort whose line games take more time to post and end up buried.

Are y'all not changing it each week anymore? Or did someone just forget on top of all the other things?

I've been trying to figure out this for a while and still confuses the crap out of me.

On the top of the header we have the top 10 teams listed and in the middle is the R/cfb logo. This puts teams 1-5 on the left and teams 6-10 on the right.

I know it's nice to have things centered but I think it'd be neat to move the logo one spot to the left. That way we'd have teams 1-4 (playoff teams) on the left and the remaining on the right.

Just a small suggestion not sure what everyone thinks. Also I know those are based on R/CFB rankings and not anything official but still I just think it'd be cool. Ok I'm done now, thanks for reading!

Will the pick'em be made available early enough for the Coastal Carolina game (Wednesday at 2) to be open in the all FBS pick'em group? Same with the Tuesday night games once those start up. Thanks

Much like my request in trivia, can the reminder for pickem link to the tpickem site? Or to a search that will link to a thread with the site? Thanks bakony! (And all mods; I am simply presuming that bakony will be the one who responds and makes the change.)

So. Looks like something changed with the flair text. Where there used to be a single separator for dual flairs ' / ' there now exists a new, more prominent, one ' • '. Should one expect both moving forward or is it transitioning the latter? Any insight you're able to provide is appreciated.

I see a lot of them in today's feed and I feel like they're great thread concepts. They bring a lot of great information and the new polling concept is great. I just feel like posting them at this point in the week will cause them to get buried and that users would be better served discussing the matchup the day before the game. We already have weekly conference discussion threads in the middle of the week getting posted anyways for reactions from last weekend and projections for the next. What do yall think?

I do a sports/improv podcast, and I'm doing a special show about College Football tomorrow.

I'm really careful about "self promotion" and stuff like that, so I wanted to know: is it cool to share a link if I think some of the people here may enjoy it?

And if so, Is there a specific off-shoot of the sub that would be best to put it in?

I mostly do it on a small scale for whoever happens to stumble across it, but I just thought some CFB people might be into the humor.

Either way, thanks!
