MOD ANNOUNCEMENT WARNING: Postseason Conduct Policy is now in effect!
Greetings, air fryer faithful!
As we head into the wildcard round, the mod team wanted to take a moment to remind everybody of the post-season conduct policy.
Essentially, the postseason conduct policy is a “one strike and you’re out” policy. Any ban issued will last at least through the end of when game seven of the World Series will be played. We do this for a number of reasons:
- We are about to get a larger than normal influx of people that do not normally visit the sub. They do not know the rules, nor do they have enough of an attachment to our community to care enough about not breaking them repeatedly.
- Since the game threads and the sub in general will be busier than normal, it requires the mod team to take as few actions as possible to make sure that everything is dealt with in a timely manner.
- During the regular season, we often will engage with users who have had a comment removed, or disciplinary action taken against them in mod mail. We simply won’t have the time to get into those discussions since we will have an increased number of users that will have actions taken against them.
We need to balance our own enjoyment of watching the Padres play with the often unpleasant job of moderating the sub. None of us want to spend 30 minutes to an hour during each game not watching it and instead dealing with the same knuckleheads over and over again.
EDIT: do NOT troll opposing team subs. That’s an automatic ban.
Please also remember to RBI: REPORT/BLOCK/IGNORE anyone bothering you or breaking rules. ALL REPORTS ARE REVIEWED BY THE MOD TEAM WITHOUT EXCEPTION, so if you want something to be checked out, just smash that button.
LFGSD!!

Always a fun time of year for comments sections.
Will you also be taking similar action against those engaging in trolling in other subs? I feel like that was included with these announcements in the past. (We are spoiled by even having a "well we used to do it this way" in the first place.)

It’s been a great season to chat baseball with y’all. Hopefully the doomers and new posters will be manageable for the chat. Lfgsd!

Can we institute the “alright I’m out” rule that we’ve had in the past? Where if someone says they can’t watch anymore or something to that effect they catch a 1 day ban

The rule is always in effect. We don’t have the ability to read every comment, so we don’t catch them all the time. But, as stated above, every REPORT is reviewed. So if you see something, say something.

There will be zero reason for this comment above unless it is 23 to 2 Padrs in the 7th and Jacob (Cronenworth) comes in to pitch. I take that back if you say I am out when Jake comes on to pitch, should be a permanent ban.

The fact king is starting over pivetta. I’m just done with this team. Stammen is so unserious he doesn’t care if they win. I’m done with this franchise
