NFL Mods suppressing breaking news (self.nfl)

submitted by Patriotsglatts

Why are all of the posts about Aaron Hernandez and his new charges being deleted? This could have an impact on the Patriots cap space.

This really sucks and is ruining /r/nfl. We should be able to come to /r/nfl as a "one stop shop" for everything NFL news. We shouldn't have to browse ESPN before coming to /r/nfl just to have an idea of what is going on. It defies the entire point of Reddit.

And yet, the most popular and most basic news is banned from this community. We're forced to go to traditional media simply to be informed about the sport.

What a shame. This community is capable of being far more than our moderators will allow it to be. And by "far more", I simply mean: This community is capable of actually informing people about what is happening in the NFL. Currently, thanks to our terrible moderation team, we are failing at our most basic task.

terrible moderation team

That's ludicrous and hyperbolic. Just because there are 2 or 3 rules you disagree with does not discount the great work the mod team does for this subreddit.

    Many of us had been dreading this for some time. This pretty much happens any time a sub grows past a certain point. You hit a certain critical mass where there are just so many ignorant, stupid individuals, that everything gets dragged down to their level. No matter what action mods take, this happens.

    If you're really looking for any kind of quality content or discussion, it's quite clear r/NFL is no longer the place for it.

    Anyone know of any other smaller subs on American Football with possibly the same type of dedicated moderation?

    You're kidding, right?

    [–]Eaglesjoebooty 0 ポイント1 ポイント

    I don't disagree entirely but I feel you have marginalized the effort of the mods.

      The funny thing is my NFL mobile app that is controlled by the NFL just alerted me to the breaking news about Hernandez. So the NFL thinks it's NFL news but /r/NFL does not. Interesting.

      [–]Ravenselusivetao 9 ポイント10 ポイント

      Thank you. This is so true. The FACT is that people who are NFL fans love to read about shit like this.

      [–]49ersPersonEveryman 6 ポイント7 ポイント

      I wouldn't say it's a fact, I'm not really interested in that sort of thing, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

      Not saying it necessarily needs to be removed, but all caps "fact" is a bit of an overstatement.

        Not gonna lie. Mods are getting annoying with deleting good enough posts for the sub

        [–]Dolphinshray12 146 ポイント147 ポイント

        Seriously. It's the offseason, the front page of this sub has

        Who's your #2 team?
        Who do you irrationally hate?
        What's your favorite NFL picture?

        but can't leave this?

        [–]Eaglesckleschick227 20 ポイント21 ポイント

        Plus the fact they remove upvoted discussion posts with plenty of comments yet they don't touch downvoted posts

        EDIT: Forgot to add that most of the downvoted posts contain idiotic questions full of useless comments yet it stays

        [–]PatriotsLutzExpertTera 9 ポイント10 ポイント

        To be fair, just because a post is downvoted doesn't necessarily mean it's breaking the rules.

        I don't even think the offseason matters for this one. It's NFL-related, it doesn't matter what time of year. This should never be deleted. If it wasn't relevant, we'd downvote it... I'm not sure why the mods don't agree with that.

        Well? Will he?

        Ugh. You didn't answer. I guess I'll go post the question to /r/NFL

        [–]TitansCiscoR 7 ポイント8 ポイント

        I think before we can answer that we need to have an "Unpopular Opinions" thread filled with popular opinions

        It would be funny, but you and I both know if we make a thread making fun of users it'll only be full of fedora jokes.

        While you're there, make sure to ask every single user's opinion on every single thing Richard Sherman has ever said - we never know, new and fresh insight could be right around the corner!

        All I know is he was on TV once and he scared a pretty girl so I hate everything he's ever done or ever said ever.

        [–]NFLthisis887 2 ポイント3 ポイント

        To be fair, that kind of post actually triggers legit conversation and debate in the comments.

        [–]RedskinsClintHammer 21 ポイント22 ポイント

        It's a "This is why we can't have nice things" thing.

        The community was so irresponsible with upvoting TMZ and bullshit with the breaking point being C Kap being portrayed as a sexual predator and a whole thread full of rape jokes, that the Mods were begged to start deleting bullshit.

        [–]aWitcher 17 ポイント18 ポイント

        A rumor from TMZ and announcement of a murder indictment are very different

        [–]RedskinsClintHammer 0 ポイント1 ポイント

        Point being, people misbehaved with their toy and the rest of us asked for it to be taken away, now the mods are just doing what we asked them to do.

        This is why I'd never be a mod of anything. They just can't fucking win

        [–]Saintsserenity_suppository 0 ポイント1 ポイント

        Yeah you could not delete news about a fucking murder that took a #2 pick from the league last season.

        I'm pretty sure that one falls under the rule of "common sense"

        [–]PackersLakerBlue 1 ポイント2 ポイント

        Joking prematurely was wrong of those people but originally it was reported as sexual assault so I think the best reaction was starting serious threads, not delaying breaking news posts.

        [–]RedskinsClintHammer 2 ポイント3 ポイント

        Actually if you had even bothered to read the linked article it was pretty clear that it wasn't him.

        She was asking for him and yelling at others to get out. People who are sexually abused rarely call out for their attacker. They just read the misleading headline and started fromt here

        [–]Eaglesckleschick227 0 ポイント1 ポイント

        People should just never be allowed to put TMZ on the sub at all

        [–]BroncosJux_ 6 ポイント7 ポイント

        What I don't get is that other news about former NFL players get to stay here. Stuff like players getting bancrupt and things like that. How is that allowed to be here but not a recent NFL player now indicted for murders that occured before his final season.

        If only we had a method of moderating ourselves. Like some sort of democratic method where people vote for the content that gets the most visibility. Naw, that's probably a little too crazy of an idea.

            It's pretty fucking idiotic for them to keep deleting these posts. This could have football implications, and it isn't like there is a hell of a lot else going in right now in the off-season

              I agree with this. If it is on the border of leave/delete for the mods, why not decide by what everyone seems to want? If nobody wanted to hear about it or talk about it, it would get downvoted. It's not a meme or random picture of a player, it's a news article. Posted to a forum about NFL news.

              [–]PatriotsMarcurial 25 ポイント26 ポイント

              The mods used to say that they deleted Hernandez posts because they had no impact on the NFL, but this can actually have an impact for the Pats cap space if he is convicted, and being indicted is a big step in the right direction

              I'm confused how the Hernandez news isn't fit for the sub but the Greg Hardy news from yesterday is.

              [–]Eaglesrasherdk 13 ポイント14 ポイント

              Greg Hardy is an NFL player.

              [–]ThePaddingtonBear 25 ポイント26 ポイント

              That's a silly distinction. The only reason that Hernandez isn't a current NFL player is his involvement in the very case we're trying to discuss. Colt Lyerla isn't an NFL player. Discussing him is still appropriate.

              EDIT: Why was the Tyler Sash drunken scooter tazing incident deemed fit for discussion? Should we delete the Jim Kelly cancer posts?

              [–]BuccaneersSorryCapsLock 9 ポイント10 ポイント

              Neither is Keyshawn Johnson but this post from 3 weeks ago didn't get deleted: http://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/23lt7n/keyshawn_johnson_arrested_on_domestic_violence/

              Is the new standard that once a player no longer is an active NFL player we no longer allow a post on them? For Hernandez it's still relevant too since he hasn't been found guilty yet.

              [–]Vikingsthe_good_dr 0 ポイント1 ポイント

              So articles about former players and any brain injuries they may have isn't fit for this sub either because they aren't currently players.

              [–]Seahawksspraj 2 ポイント3 ポイント

              Greg Hardy is still in the NFL.

              [–]Steelerspatshurmur 3 ポイント4 ポイント

              So the fuck what? Hernandez was an elite level NFL player this time last year. Like it or not, he will always be NFL-related. I don't care if he gets out of prison in 40 years and commits another couple of murders...it's still related

              [–]Patriotspoorleno111 0 ポイント1 ポイント

              Herenandez could still come back to the NFL. He has not been convicted yet, correct? And, his current situation still has ramifications for our team.

              [–]PatriotsI_Enjoy_Taffy 42 ポイント43 ポイント

              It's fucking stupid that they keep deleting it. This double homicide happened before Hernandez signed his shiny new big deal. Because of this, the Patriots can file a grievance with the NFLPA and free up the salary cap hit that Herandez's contract took up. So this has huge salaray cap implications for the Patriots. Apparently that's not NFL related. Fuck us, right mods?

                I'd say it's even more relevant than the Jim Kelly posts as the Pats could get cap space back if Hernandez is charged for this. So there is still football implications here. With that said both belong here.

                  I think at least one thread should remain given to complete the saga. But I understand mods deleting every other thread. We only need one. Continually submitting the same story and then crying wolf isn't going to accomplish anything. Did you at try to get an explanation from the mods?

                  Per /u/rasherdk

                  Every mod is removing them because it is directly against the rules on non-NFL news. Rules which have been created through discussion with the community over the years. He is not an NFL player, and this news about a criminal case does not influence the NFL.

                  Heres my feeling, this sub is for us, the majority, 266,413 subscribers. Its not for the 16 mods to dictate to us what we see and dont see. Yes if someone posts NBA material gets on here delete it, but we will also downvote it to all hell, use that as an indicator, but something that can and will certainly have ramifications for an NFL team should stay up. The mods shouldn't pander to their preset rules, yes use them as a guideline however let us discuss the NFL related stuff we want to discuss.

                  If he doesn't get convicted the patriots lose 7.5 million, if he does they gain 7.5 million. What happens from this point on doesn't matter, the fact that there is movement in his case should be allowed to be posted here.

                  If there was an update on Jim Kellys cancer battle it would be up here, even if it was just "Kelly enters second round of Chemo", no hate to Jim, incredible player and a seemingly great man. So, why isnt an update in Hernandez case allowed?

                  This is fucking stupid. Can any mod actually state a reason as to why the threads keep getting deleted instead of just deleting them and hiding? There are way worse threads on the front page. Talk about ridiculous.

                  There is a mod giving reasons in these comments. But they keep getting downvoted and insulted. What a great way to persuade them to do anything.

                  My guess - Aaron Hernandez is not an NFL player and never will be again.

                  but this could give the Patriots more cap space

                  Cool. What else is there to talk about other than that? I'm all for deleting these posts. It would just turn into a thread full of jokes and circle jerks. Mods are doing their best job keeping this place quality if you ask me.

                  Isn't that enough? As a Pats fan I wouldn't mind discussing what opportunities this opens up for the Patriots, what the process would be with regards to moving forward with a grievance, what the timetable on that cap relief would be and who is still available to be acquired with that cap space.

                  I hate when Mods delete shit. If it's a re-post that's fine. But how about you let the community decide what should be a thread and what shouldn't

                  The guy has been out of the NFL a total season and will probably never play football again. I'm not sure I necessarily agree with them being removed but it's definitely not critical NFL news.

                  [–]PatriotsDRowe13 18 ポイント19 ポイント

                  It is because it might have cap implications for the pats

                  [–]Patriotsbrunub 3 ポイント4 ポイント

                  That is a very good point, but would be a ways away. He just got indicted. They would need a conviction, wouldn't they?

                      So this guy was playing in the NFL after he had killed 2 people? No wonder noone on the Texans wanted to cover him.

                      [–]Saintspottersquash 1 ポイント2 ポイント

                      I think they already called for a end to the Hernandez news. How do the charges impact their cap space?

                      Edit: Please do not downvote the mods trying to explain their reasoning. We ask a question, they give an answer and the answer is lost? Its against the rules of reddit, this sub and common sense.

                      To be fair the Hernandez updates were getting pretty stupid. Things like "Hernandez got in a prison fight" and "Hernandez threatened a guard."

                      Well to be fair, we need room to have another post asking an inane hypothetical question about Michael Sam.

                      [–]BrownsLarpMaster2000 3 ポイント4 ポイント

                      The contract could possibly be voided and the Pats would get the cap hit from cutting Hernandez removed.

                      [–]Saintspottersquash -1 ポイント0 ポイント

                      Then I see the mods point. Its all speculation until Pats make a move.

                      [–]PatriotsSection37 2 ポイント3 ポイント

                      Now the Pats can argue that he violated the language of his contract.

                      http://www.patspulpit.com/2014/5/15/5720396/aaron-hernandez-indicted-in-2012-double-homicide

                      [–]Packerslolcutler 1 ポイント2 ポイント

                      it could be argued since he killed the 2 people in Boston before signing the contract that it wasn't done in good faith and that would void it. if it is voided then the pats have a very solid argument to get an increase in salary cap to compensate for the money they had to pay out even though aaron was in jail

                      How do the charges impact their cap space?

                      These charges were from before his new contract, so it is possible that the Patriots could try to get out of the cap hit they are on the hook for.

                      Oh here we go with this again. If I wanted updates on Aaron Hernandez's personal life, I would subscribe to /r/TMZ

                      [–]Giantspuncturewound 0 ポイント1 ポイント

                      I think this is silly, the mods aren't suppressing anything. If they were this post would be deleted. They are enforcing their rules of the subreddit, for better or worse these mods have done an excellent job curating this subreddits content as to avoid sillyness, they also do a good job listening to the users suggestions for improving this place.

                      That being said, I think the story should be allowed to be posted. While Hernandez isn't an NFL player anymore in the same vane as Tim Tebow he is still relavent to the NFL, if this was the middle of the season I would agree with its removal since there isn't much else to discuss here, but it is a NFL related story in the off season where content is hard to come by. I think they should have more thought about things being allowed in the off season, Especially since that Tyler Sash story is still around.

                      Remember don't downvote the Mods for explaining their reasoning, it doesn't help anyone to bury their posts.

                      [–]Raidersthizzywashington 0 ポイント1 ポイント

                      Complaints always boil down to "Well if THIS isn't allowed, why is THAT allowed?" Why not just report the other stuff?

                      People who are bitching about Jim Kelly posts, did you report them? Do you report all those discussion threads that somehow get brought up as being irrelevant?

                      Even if this has no impact on the Pats' cap space or any other financial ramifications, how is this not worthy of this sub?

                      A former star player faces three murder charges and that's not news? I think the point is we're here in /r/nfl because we're fans of the NFL. Hence, this news is important for a vast majority of the people here.

                      I don't get it.

                      Mods, I think you're creating a lot of flack for yourselves for deleting a lot of posts that could be grey-area NFL news.

                      This is why we have the upvote/downvote system.
