Wow! Over 550 subs! Welcome new members! (self.CHICubs)

Kaner_95WOOOO WOOOO が 投稿

Welcome to the new Cubs reddit! We have gotten over 100 subs in the past 24 hours and would like to thank you all for coming. I'm sure a lot of you have questions on why we made the new sub. Ill give you the short version because no one likes reading word blocks.

Why the move from /r/Cubs

  • Inactive modding over at /r/cubs. At the time of this sub's creation, two mods over there had not posted in 4 months. 1 posted once every 3 weeks. And one hadn't posted a link to /r/cubs in 3 years (He posted something yesterday). Inactive mod support can ruin a sub. Over the course of last season, problems came up such as trolling and extreme downvoting. These issues could have been fixed if there was more than one active mod (/u/whiterabbit13) running the show over there.

  • Bannings. The last look /u/whiterabbit13 had before they removed him was that 30 users were shadowbanned. The head mod over at /r/cubs has a love for banning users who disagree with him on whatever topic comes up.

  • /u/Gimme_Dat_Cookie. Anyone ever use a stream last year? You probably have. He was the one who took the time out of his day to provide everyone with a link. He was banned without reason from /r/Cubs. I cannot comprehend how such a great asset to the sub could be banned for no reason. But it happened.

So those were the main points on why we felt we needed to leave and start fresh. And so far it has been a success. So you new users are probably thinking "Why should I choose /r/CHICubs over /r/Cubs?" Well let me tell you!

  • This is a more active sub. Look at the gamethread numbers. We triple /r/cubs gamethreads everyday. I promise you will have a better time throughout the game on here than over there. Everyone has treated others with respect even if they have a differing opinion.

  • If a problem arises, contact us and we will take care of it. We want this place to be fun and would hate if it you came here and didn't

  • Minor League Threads. The famous /u/Tjagra has brought back his threads from last season. Where else can you find all our young stars statlines in one place?!

  • Hero of the Game Threads. Very Similar to the Bulls and Blackhawks 3 stars of the game. Lots of fun!

  • For awhile, there was a picture of a dead cardinal in the banner over there. Not a dead cartoon cardinal, but a straight up roadkilled bird. In this sub, you will see a beautiful man named Jorge waving a W flag! (Shoutout to /u/awesomeade for that!)

So I'll leave it at that. We welcome any new users and thank the ones who have been with us from the start. If you have any other questions about the sub, post them below or message us mods. I hope you all enjoy our new sub as it grows and look forward to seeing you all tonight in the gamethread! Go Cubs!

Edit: Make that 600!

Edit 2: Welcome new mod /u/awesomeade! The W flag at the top, snoo, and upvote/downvote arrows were his doings. He knows a ton of css and has been extremely active over here. We are in the final stages of getting the new css over here so having him on board will make life so much better for everyone here!

Yep, just subbed here after seeing a post over on /r/cubs. I have nothing against /r/cubs, but a banner with a waving W? SOLD.

Plus I have enough Cubbie love to spread over 15 or 20 subreddits, much less two.

[–]Kirsch05IT'S HAPPENING 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (3子コメント)

The waving "W" is awesome.

On a related note mentioned in the original post, that dead cardinal was a legit turn off. As much as I hate the Cardinals that just seems wrong, and I'm sure any Cardinals fans that ventured into that sub never came back.

[–]RunningJokesBlue Steel 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (1子コメント)

That sub really is cultivating too much of a "fuck the Cardinals" and "Cardinals fans suck" culture. I've always found the rivalry to be one of the most intensely respectful ones in all of sports, so that attitude kinda bugs me.

[–]Kirsch05IT'S HAPPENING 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Right? Imagine they put a dead baby bear in their header. That's not funny. Just because it's a bird doesn't make it different.

Cartoon? Sure.

[–]MattAdams53#18 OT[🍰] 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

My flair over there is actually the "Dead Cardinal" I forget exactly, but I put something like "Never wake the sleeping bird"

[–]Gimmie_Dat_StreamSheeeeeeeit 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

but a banner with a waving W?

Big thanks to /u/Awesomeade for that sweet sweet W flag and the rest of the banner

[–]BanglaynaLETS GO CUBS! 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

This sub is great, the only thing i miss from /r/cubs is the player head flairs.

[–]CondorAvenueKris Baeryant 19 ポイント20 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I kinda do both, but the main reasons Ive been coming here more is because of the people who have moved here have been a lot of the people I interacted with a lot and had good opinions of. Hope to see all of you around quite a bit this year!

[–]TjagraHere Comes The Sun 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Glad to have you here condor!

[–]CondorAvenueKris Baeryant 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Im glad to be here! You're definitely one of the people I was referring too. Looking forward to your prospect threads. Ill be checking in on milb tv tonight.

[–]gamenut89Eamus Catuli! 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Just as a heads up to the newbies, the mods in this sub are super inactive. At this point, it's been 15 minutes since we've had a mod post anything to the sub and we're getting frustrated. We're thinking about switching to a new sub soon. And that /u/Kaner_95 fella, he's just as ban-happy as the rest of them. And then there's the flairs! They just can't make up their minds and change the flairs almost daily. It's unbearable! /s

Seriously, it's a great sub. One thing that /u/Kaner_95 didn't touch on: If you're new, make sure you check the sidebar for the rules of the sub. There was a good little bit of talk on which ones to include and I'd hate to see someone catch some flak for not noticing the rules about posting. That being said, let's have fun and keep up this awesome win streak we've got going. Eamus Catuli.

[–]Jollyman21Rizz on 'em 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I've been some what inactive on Reddit and heard about the schism. I'm subbing to both because go Cubs!!

[–]kmyoung14Hip Hip Jorge 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (4子コメント)

I was looking at the r/reds page and they had over 1000 gdt posts while r/cubs only had a couple of hundred. Came here and was pleased to see over 1000 posts on a sub with significantly less members

[–]inevitablescapeTHE GOAT 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (2子コメント)

We like to talk to ourselves sometimes :p

[–]vitey15A shot and a beer 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I think there's solid coversation

[–]vitey15A shot and a beer 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I agree.

[–]Arrys 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I mod for /r/Reds. 95% of those 1000's of posts in the GDT is us professing faith in whatever deity we believe gives us luck that day. Like pigeon God or spaghetti O's God.

.....and it's awesome**

[–]bdjohns1Schadenfreude 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (0子コメント)

On behalf of /r/Tardinals, we offer you a delicious salad as a peace offering.

Seriously though, good luck. Every team deserves a well-run subreddit!

[–]WhiteRabbit13Chicago Cubs[M] 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (10子コメント)

If you'd like evidence of how wide spread the shadow bannings are, go here.

As of right now, there are 17 comments, yet only 11 show up. There are plenty of people on that sub that have no clue they have been shadowbanned.

[–]babyqueefsAC0669106 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I was one of the users shadowbanned for no reason. It's not fun at all.

[–]JSK23Bryant 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (1子コメント)

As a mod of a handful of subs it should be clarified that mods can't shadowban, only reddit admins can. They wouldn't even be able to read the sub or post if they were mod banned. Shadowbans mean you content doesn't show up live anywhere on reddit.

Its more likely that the mods just deleted their comments for whatever reason, or they are using automoderator to do it.

[–]WhiteRabbit13Chicago Cubs 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Having automod remove every post of a specific user is essentially shadowbanning a user from that specific sub. Their posts will never show on that specific sub. And that's what was happening in /r/cubs. Several users, like /u/legacylemur, posted for months without knowing they were shadowbanned.

edit: Also, not trying to say your wrong, just expanding one what you said.

[–]re-tardisI Believe in Theo-logy 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm so glad you moved here! You've always been my favorite mod of any subreddit I frequent.

[–]TheEnterpriseChicago Cubs 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Shadow banning is a Reddit admin thing - mods can't do it. If you look in your modqueue and see a faded out post - that person is shadow banned. You have the option to remove or approve that post.

The only way a person will know if they are shadowbanned is if you approve the post and then reply to it.

(your friendly neighborhood /r/oaklandraiders Mod)

[–]WhiteRabbit13Chicago Cubs 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (1子コメント)

FYI, I am using shadowban as the term, but he is using auto mod to just remove all posts of certain users. Shadowban is just a simpler term, and fairly similar.

[–]TheEnterpriseChicago Cubs 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

You're right, it's the same net effect, I just don't want random users to think that mods have that kind of site wide power.

We already get enough grief ;)

[–]retrofadeChicago Cubs 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

A Raiders/Cubs fan? Wow. I never really came across that many Cubs fans when I lived in the Central Valley... even less now that I'm in NC.

That's interesting about shadowbanning though. I keep hearing the term, but haven't really fully understood how it worked. I just thought users could be shadowbanned from specific subreddits.

[–]TheEnterpriseChicago Cubs 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm in the Midwest. The Raider thing started when I was a kid back in the early 80s right after the SB win over PHI.

I guess I have a thing for teams that are in rebuild mode, have a lot of young players, and have an old baseball stadium that needs renovating!

[–]CondorAvenueKris Baeryant 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (2子コメント)

They removed this post kind of proving they're getting a little ban happy

[–]NicCage420WE DYNASTY NOW 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (0子コメント)

"W-we're not nervous, we swear!"

[–]OhbieChicago Cubs 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I went looking for it this morning to see if there were any new/interesting comments and wasn't able to find it. Thanks for the info.

[–]jacksonvstheworldK-Bry Jelly 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (9子コメント)

It was an easy choice for me. /u/WhiteRabbit13 reached out to me originally to let me know what was up but I also noticed that /u/Gimmie_Dat_Stream (the former cookie) and /u/Tjagra were here as well and they were three of my favorite and most active commenters on the original sub. Without them, it felt like it would be missing something. Plus, /r/cubs got rid of the beautiful ivy header and replaced it with that bland blue one. Happy to be here! No looking back!

ONE GOAL. DEFAULT CUB SUB OR BUST.

edit: Can we change the # text to Cubbie blue?

[–]Kaner_95WOOOO WOOOO[S,M] 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (3子コメント)

I'll ask the cool guy who is setting up the new css if it is doable.

[–]jacksonvstheworldK-Bry Jelly 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Love you :)

Btw, I didn't throw a mention your way because I didn't really remember you much from the original sub, but you've been excellent here as well. You guys make up my Franchise Four <3

[–]weatherninjaChicago Cubs 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think the folks over at /r/ColoradoRockies have it so their text shows up as purple when you do it. They might be willing to help.

[–]AwesomeadeBaaah[M] 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (4子コメント)

I was actually the guy who made the ivy header for the old sub! I'm not sure why they chose to take it down, but rest assured, the ivy has a strong advocate on this sub's mod team.

[–]jacksonvstheworldK-Bry Jelly 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (3子コメント)

I was wondering why the new ivy we got over here looked so familiar! Did you provide the same image?

[–]AwesomeadeBaaah 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I did! I still had the same photoshop file from back then, so it was just a matter of tweaking it a little bit until we got what we have now.

[–]jacksonvstheworldK-Bry Jelly 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Well its a beaut so thanks for the addition! I leave my computer on all day so it was pretty cool when I came home from work and this sub was open, I hit refresh and all of the sudden there was ivy and it was the most pleasant surprise ever.

[–]AwesomeadeBaaah 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Thanks man! Hopefully I have a few more pleasant surprises left in me.

[–]retrofadeChicago Cubs 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I'm really hoping that this subreddit takes off... the lack of content and posting at /r/cubs was starting to get to me. I'll be visiting both, but I hope we get some real action going on one way or the other.

I'm especially glad to hear that /u/Tjagra will be posting his Minor League threads... those were a highlight for me last season.

I'll be sure to spread the gospel of subbing here to other fellow Cubs fans I know.

[–]TjagraHere Comes The Sun 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Thanks :)

[–]NicCage420WE DYNASTY NOW 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's not a lack of content over there, it's a lack of quality content.

[–]bosque_fireChicago Cubs 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I feel like an old-timer since I've been here for 11 whole days already. You new kids stay off my lawn. This is my old cherished sub so you treat it with respect, ya hear!

[–]The_Black_Unicorn 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yesss. No offense to anyone intended but I hated /r/cubs. I'm a huge fan of individual team subs instead of the huge league-wide ones and have wished the Cubs sub was better for a while now. Excited about this.

[–]gipnov23#wearegood 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah this place looks much more active and fun than /r/cubs. I've offically made the switch! Go Cubbies!

[–]BuddyTheElf_TagproLook at me I am the third baseman now 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (5子コメント)

Someone over on that other sub was hating on my Upvote Party post. I'm sorry I like to have fun and that I hate the Cardinals lol o/ EDIT: I will not be doing those anymore. I promise

[–]Kaner_95WOOOO WOOOO[S] 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Ya I saw that. I wrote him basically saying that post was the first one and I haven't seen any on here before. Maybe on days that call for it we can take it to the post game thread. We'll see how it plays out. \o

Just saw the post on /r/cubs so I decided to take a stroll over here. Looks to me it's a lot more interactive than /r/cubs :)

Can I just say, this is a place to let your passion FLOW for being a Cub fan. We love this team here, and it shows every day all day. The mood team is truly dedicated, the community is amazing here, and we Bleed that Blue! Enjoy it, my friends. Our time is here. Next year is every year!

Wow, I wasn't aware of all the ban stuff. I remember the push for more active mods and was satisfied with what it had become, but after lurking here for a week or so, this is on another level. With all the awesome people running this place too, it is a no brainer for me. Also, dat flag.

[–]Topher_Ray 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I would like to thank /u/Tjagra for unknowingly helping me find /r/CHICubs! I wondered what happened to his Minor League Reports and had to go back to a comment I made on one on /r/Cubs. Safe to say I'm already no longer subscribed to /r/Cubs, because all the cool people and mods are over here! GO CUBS!

[–]NicCage420WE DYNASTY NOW 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Not even a day after posting this, we're over 700 subs.

[–]BarryliciousIT'S HAPPENING 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (5子コメント)

Anyone ever use a stream last year? You probably have. He was the one who took the time out of his day to provide everyone with a link. He was banned without reason from /r/Cubs[8] . I cannot comprehend how such a great asset to the sub could be banned for no reason. But it happened.

Aren't streams quasi-legal at the very best? I would think that might have had something to do with it. Without an explanation you'd never know, however.

[–]WhiteRabbit13Chicago Cubs 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (3子コメント)

He was banned because content thought he was a problem user evading pervious bans. That's the explanation I was given as a fellow mod at the time of his banning.

That's far from the case.

[–]BarryliciousIT'S HAPPENING 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Sounds reasonable.

What's far from the case? That streaming isn't illegal?

[–]WhiteRabbit13Chicago Cubs 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (1子コメント)

No, that he was a problem user evading ban. The user he compared him to is... A bit mental.

[–]BarryliciousIT'S HAPPENING 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Gotcha. I am so glad I've never had any interest in modding an online forum. Talk about a thankless job.

[–]Kaner_95WOOOO WOOOO[S] 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

That was our thought. But no warnings, threats from reddit higher-ups or anything.

[–]frakking-anustartOakland Athletics 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Had no idea about the rest of the bannings but

TELL ME ABOUT IT with inactive mods.

Someone posted a link in the A's sub about finding a "Country Breakfast" card and the second modt active moderator removed it until someone explained "Country Breakfast" was our new DH.

And there are two mods who haven't commented in years. The most active mod commebts a few times a game, but still.

Could be worse though, they could be like /r/Cubs

[–]vitey15A shot and a beer 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (11子コメント)

The game threads are really active and lots of fun here. Wish I could contribute more in some way

[–]Kaner_95WOOOO WOOOO[S,M] 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (10子コメント)

At this rate, the number of subs might require an extra mod spot or 2. A lot of users have expressed interest in that position. We might take the most qualified and have a game to see who wins it.

[–]vitey15A shot and a beer 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

lol, if it ever gets to the point where someone has to be banned, please include that link. I know we're trying to avoid using the banhammer, but if it has to happen it may as well include an adorable Mario reference.

I figure this is the best place to ask this: When the new CSS is complete and up, can we get a sticky for discussion about it? Obviously no one is going to expect you guys to meet all of our silly demands, but I still think it could be useful. If not just for suggestions in what we think could improve, then also for people being able to easily report any early problems the CSS might have with their browsers.

[–]TjagraHere Comes The Sun 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (1子コメント)

We are just waiting on some bot stuff, and then we'll be ready to implement. Its hard to really make someone do something for free and pressure them, but I really really hope its in the next few days.
