What better day for a Fire-Side chat than a Snow Day
Just a few housekeeping things to go over before the off-season gets under way:
On trolls in our sub
- Anytime a sports team is knocked out of the playoffs, the trolls come out in force
- It is just the perfect opportunity: You lost, There is no next game till next season, poking fun at you is just too easy
- The Chiefs have a huge fanbase, it stands to reason that they have a fair number of trollish users.
- There were a lot of pure trolls; as in, they also visit every other NFL team that has lost in the post-season.
- IMPORTANT: If you see an obvious troll, do not even respond to them. Just hit the REPORT button and let it go. Some of you went on for pages arguing with people who were obviously baiting.
On the mods of our sub:
- Verugan has stepped down. Just a note: Never once did he do anything detrimental to our sub. He was the original founder, I think it was 14 years ago? when he was the only mod, and brought me on. My first actions were to implement flair, write that probably never read Code of Conduct wiki page, and to migrate us from r/houstontexans to r/texans – all probably useless effort ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- We've had many mods come and go here. It's a thankless job, mostly people who make post demanding that we "do our jobs" lol.
- I'm very grateful for mods like /u/440k here, and /u/cmays90 in r/Astros. It's just rare to find people who want to be a mod, who actually do consistent and quality mod duties.
Just as an example, here is 10 pages of actions we've taken just in the last two days here: https://imgur.com/a/aDBDxja
- You'll notice a lot of actions from reddit, these are auto actions we can't always control.
- And some from something called Anti-Evil Operations (I'll leave that to your imaginations I guess?)
I have a feeling we'll have more to discuss over the off-season.
For now, I guess post snow pics if you want?
So far, we've built a snowman, had a snowball fight (those hurt btw), went sledding, did some drifting in the golf-cart. What else do you do in the snow anyway? My google frog was playing in the snow today, thought that was a neat touch.
