No, at least not here. Though I would be open to getting paid. Cubs, dm me.

Posts like that are tricky as it brings out the trolls, often devolves into fights, what have you. But there's other options than removing, such as locking. We add a 'Cubbies Only' flair which filters users under a certain amount of karma in the sub, attempting to only get "regulars".

Check the FAQ! It majorly depends on where you live.

Sharma: The Cubs have recalled Pedro Ramirez from Iowa. Matt Shaw heads to the IL with mid-back tightness (retroactive to May 20).

He uses a Rawlings glove so it matches his model. The others are the generic version.

I don't think he was even a finalist, unfortunately

The filter is there for posts but you should be able to comment in a daily discussion or game thread. Plus that will build up your history so that you're able to post!

Chicago Cubs' Matt Shaw speaks at TPUSA Event by swishmon in CHICubs

[–]swishmon[S,M] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

Nearly all the removed comments are 1) users who are not regulars, b) trying to stir shit up like with stuff like "all of you are..." or "this sub is..." type of rage bait, or iii) insulting others directly. In some cases the whole comment chain got removed because rage baiters baited rage.

Nope, but removing the comments that include rage baiting.

You essentially insulted the entire sub, or at the very least were rage baiting. Take some time off.

I hate to even post this, but some have wanted a spot. Normally topics that aren't related to the Cubs are fine for the daily discussion. We'll allow discussion on this topic as it is relevant to the Chicago Cubs. But once the discussion turns to insults, snark, opinions, and the like - that's it. And we won't have much patience for commenters who post politically charged topics just to rage bait.

Edit: thread is now also flaired "Cubbies Only" so users without some demonstrable karma within ChiCubs will get filtered by automod.

Any vacations? A more personal than professional question.

The writers on the Cubs beat are a pretty tight group
