Hey everyone, welcome back.
Between the end of last season and now we had a bot that was working for gamethreads, but it’s since stopped working and the owner is not really interested in getting it working again.
If anyone is capable of setting up another bot or has a working bot for game threads please contact me.
If not, I am looking to add moderators that are willing and able to get up game threads (and moderate them if needed).
On c/nfl we tried threads for every game and it simply isn’t populated enough to have that many threads and everyone decided to just do a Thursday/Sunday/Monday thread. What does everyone think about maybe a weekly thread for all of the games or would you prefer game threads for each individual game? (if you check NFL and see an “NFL bot” account posting the game threads, it was supposed to be a bot, but we couldn’t get it going and log in and post them manually from it).
Edit - And lastly, obviously, part of the point in modding whoever posts these is so that they can be pinned by the poster.
I really like the single thread for all the games.
@Hurts@lemmy.world, @pobautista@lemmy.world was willing to give it a shot the other day.
I will also take a crack at it if he’s not willing, and take on mod duties to run it through my account or a second Bot-only account.
EDIT: I am adapting another bot from r/collegebasketball to see if I can get it to work with Lemmy. I won’t have it up tonight. But hopefully soon.
Daily threads for all games would be a good start. I think individual games would be too much and not get enough activity so combine them in to one per day.
What do you think of something basic like this?
So basically, Game Threads inside of the global game thread? I will work on it.
EDIT: Look at the structure of the parent comments in the thread above again. Like this?
Moderator check, no idea if everyone I added back in June is still active, reply here if you’re still around and still want to mod, if you don’t reply within ~a week I’ll assume you’ve moved on from LW and remove you.
@DaEagle@lemmy.ml @Calvin@lemmy.world @OttoVonNoob@lemmy.ca @Barns@lemmy.world @cavsfan@lemmy.world @vodkasolution@feddit.it @Sl00k@programming.dev @paciencia@lemmy.world @RandAlThor@lemmy.ca
So it would seem, would you like to be added as a mod? I see you active and working on game threads
I think we need more content as possible, we could start making daily game threads. I’m not into bot, but if no one can take the task, I can try (no guarantee!)
Gotcha (and gotcha on the reply for the comment I just tagged you in). I agree about threads for every game, but it’s definitely a lot of work to do manually, if we have people willing to do it I’m game though. I just can’t personally commit to getting them all up
