    What Do You Want?

    NO SPAM or I will close and delete. I am serious about this.

    Try to limit yourself to one request. Try not to be condescending and judgemental of the mods. We do this for free, and because we love the Yankees and here.

    Be nice, and have at it. Fair enough? I will list the reasonable ( ) requests in this post

    Re: What Do You Want?

    With all due respect Lou, I have to disagree with your format. I understand that posting laundry lists will be ineffective, but limiting people to "one thing" is pretty restrictive. There's a lot about this site that seems to be in disarray right now, and I don't understand why we can't ask for all of the little things to be fixed (such as "Player PerformanceThreads" to be given a space between the last two words.)

    OK, if the list thing doesn't work, then list something. Then let someone else have a chance, etc.

    OK?

    Can we have the search function and multi quote back in the entire forum?

    Re: What Do You Want?

    Can 'Community Standards' be revised and reintroduced? There are times when it is not followed, by new and old members. Also I feel some things inhibit good conversation. For example, if a thread is locked, I believe we all should be given a reason. In this example, since there have been only 19 perfect games in the history of baseball, I believe it deserve its own, easily accessible thread.

    Re: What Do You Want?

    I'd like to see a Moderator Survivor contest. Bub seems to be gone, and from what i've read on the forum folks will miss him both as a friend and as an active moderator. We need to fill those shoes, dont we?

    Let's have a contest. We can have a sign up thread, maybe require them to submit a 5000 word essay on their reason for wanting to be a moderator, what they think they can improve, and how they would handle some of the more delicate situations around here. We can judge these essays and choose say 12 finalists.

    Each week we'll come up with a new contest. Submit a video of yourself singing Cotton Eyed Joe, or search the forum and identify the 5 worst currently active threads -- stuff like that. Each week we will let the survivors vote each other off. It would be a fun process, and hopefully we'd get a crack mod to replace Bub.

    Ok, that, or the search function fixed. I'd be happy with either.

    Re: What Do You Want?

    I dont understand why "PerformanceThread" is even an option here.

    For a moderator or admin with the right privlidges this is literally a 2 minute thing to fix (including logging in if your cookie expired).

    It's what we call a "no brainer".

    I like that too (I know, I already asked for my one request - I'm not asking for anything else, just agreeing with someone else).

    Certain posters and moderators to have a sense of humor.

    Unfortunately, as I've told Muggs, this is not universally fixable. There's a range of sig sizes for which the appearance of a scroll bar is a function of your screen resolution.

    OK. I already have a locked post about this, but I want to get involved around here and as a new member the 6 month ban on starting threads is just to long.

    I could see a month, or a reasonable number of posts, but 6 months is too long.

    You could take a look at today's Game Thread... where 20 people have declared the game over in the 6th inning.

    I can understand somewhat today, but normally it's 1-0 other team in the first and half of them are already giving up.

    No, it's not understandable in the 6th inning. If the rule is that negative predictions are not allowed then negative predictions should not be allowed.

    ...but I appreciate you minimizing my gripe.

    I wasn't minimizing yours, but rather giving my own. I do agree with your point as I know excessive negativity and negative predictions are not allowed. I must be pretty powerful if saying that could minimize anything.
