Also a DJ moore flair would be nice. New favorite receiver (and my boy OchoCinco)

Some new additions of this year would also be cool. Im sure TJ and Sweat would get a few uses around this neighborhood

i would like a button that plays the Bears song and zaps people with electricity when i dont like what theyve written

I haven’t been active in this sub as long as others, but what I have noticed is often good debates about controversial topics often start in a good manner- but then devolve into a series of wild personal attacks and hyperbole

The issue is though, that’s what the internet is usually about. And in real life it isn’t any different either. I suppose banning very egregious or repeated behavior is warranted, but I also don’t know how you can truly moderate that effectively without ending up cutting the sub membership down drastically.

I still think that regardless of that this sub is entertaining and I enjoy engaging in conversation with everyone about the team.

Could we please ban citing aggregate accounts? (i.e. Dov Kleinman, MLFootball, NFL Notify, JPA Football, Daniel Greenberg, etc.) I understand DG isn’t as bad as the others, but he will still post out-of-context tweets looking for knee-jerk reactions.

Would also like to add that we have discussed a mega-thread at the end of the season for the most talked about subject. That being ‘Keeping Fields vs. Drafting a QB’ so that our feeds are so crowded with the same posts. Let me know what you all think.

Yeah, so I’m newer here. But the negative comments are a bit out of control, especially when coupled with a lack of good faith dialogue/debate.

I don’t think anyone expects people to agree with them on their takes, but the amount of “you said this thing I disagree with, so you are a clown, personally” type responses needs reigned in.

At least for me, it’s made me dial back my interaction on this sub, and is the only sub I’ve ever reported users in.

People should use the block function more. There are certain keywords that get you a block from me. With RES, I can see the +/- of each person I’ve ever upvoted or downvoted in the sub. Once you pass a certain threshold below zero, I block you.

And I know no one cares that they’ve been blocked by me, but it adds so much to my experience here that I thought I should share…for science!

Use the tools, control your space.

There’s a portion of the community who has differing opinions but are respectful about the conversation, offering up thoughtful points and data/objective information. Thank you to these people, even if we disagree at times. Unfortunately, there’s also a portion of the community who is more volatile, actively spreading their opinions as facts and outright trolling constantly. I noticed a lot of these accounts are burners that are less than a year old, and many times it seems likely they are vote manipulating (replies buried deep in threads days old get multiple up/downvotes within minutes). All of these factors cause more volatility within the sub and make it harder to have good dialogues.

I think the mods should consider making rules to address the occurrence of these burner accounts. Maybe target accounts that are under a year old and offer an option to report these specifically for trolling or unusual behavior. By better controlling the abuse of burner accounts, we won’t all agree on everything but we might be able to move the sub towards more meaningful and respectful conversations.

Watching Fox right now, Jay Glazer looks like he’s about to drop dead of a heart attack

What if after a game, we have a negative thread, and a positive thread, user is free to join which ever one they want to.

I un-subbed months ago because of the increase of low-effort/lazy opinion posts that offer no analysis or unique perspective. We should really have a weekly “Post Your Opinions Here”, which would clean up the page and provide more focus on news, analysis, etc.
