WCG Housekeeping

Hello people... I thought it might be time for a few WCG housekeeping items.

First, many of you might be a little confused on some of the guidelines we have going on here at WCG.  The game threads you may have noticed are probably the only place where we don't do too much moderation.  While you may see plenty of cursing during the game threads, please don't let it carry over into other posts.  

You can get away with some milder language around the rest of the site, but the game threads are where to express your more adult-rated thoughts.

Next, we have seen an influx of arguments going on around the site, where members are being insulting by others, doing some name-calling, etc.  Keep it classy.  If you can't engage in debate with someone without becoming insulting, don't debate.  

Also, some features of the site that you might not be familiar with.  When you click on a thread to find the most recent comments, you can find them in a pretty easy way.  Say there is a thread with 200 comments, with only one new one, you can hit the "z" key and the page will auto-scroll to the new comment.

Try to remember to hit the "reply" button when replying to a specific comment.  Not sure which comment someone has replied to?  Hit the "up arrow" to see which comment it was in reply to.

If there are any site-related questions you have, whether it is about guidelines, functionality, etc., or if you have any general feedback, feel free to drop it in the comments section here, or shoot us an email.

If you have any post ideas, or anything you'd like to see from the writers, same thing, just let us know.

If you are interested in writing for the site, let us know.

If you just want to tell us how awesome we are, and how we are the best Bears blog on the internet, we want to hear that too!

In the meantime, keep doing all you can to make WCG the best it can be... we are not a Yahoo or youtube message board, and hold ourselves to higher posting standards than that.  Our hard work and success is directly related to the contributions from our members, and we want to make this your place.

Thanks for reading, and Go Bears!

that Wilt had no idea about the “up arrow”, so that’s good for me to know, too. :-)

Agree.

WCG absolutely and unequivocally is the best Bears site on the interwebs. This site has a great group of writers that constantly keep us informed of all the happenings and goings-ons in Bears land. And like rdent said…

Keep up the good work fellers!

Your contributions to the site are definitely visible and very much appreciated.

Thanks bud.

But no. Can you imagine how many people would be changing their comments when they got called out on BS? How many people would change the entire nature of a comment after 5 people had already replied to it?

It would be chaos!

Could you have an edit button

only available for a certain amount of time after the post is made?

by CutlerDabears on Nov 2, 2009 3:20 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Maybe we could call it...

I dunno, something like… the “preview” button?!?

It would be awesome! We could check our comments and make edits accordingly, before we hit post and say something embarrassing.

Would one go to express this interest in writing for the site?

…because that’s something…I’m interested in…awkward silence
