2024 Football Schedule

Rules/Interactions

Subreddit rules, are Reddit rules. Examples are:

A. No harassment, doxxing, trolling, etc. While we try to let most conversations play out and try not to pull the trigger immediately, if any user crosses the line into any sort of name calling we will initiate mutes and bans as necessary.

B. Since this is a sports sub, no raiding or swarming other subreddits. While it's really easy to go into an opponent's sub and be completely disrespectful and trash that team's fans, this will not be tolerated. It makes this sub look bad and it makes the Ducks fan base and community as a whole look bad. While we won't pursue another subreddit, if we find out we will take the necessary actions.

Rules enforcement

With that said, we mods have not had to lay a ban hammer down in any real capacity in the time this sub has existed. Sure we've banned the trolls and the absolute worst of the worst. Moving forward we will be setting bans on people who violate the rules set forth. It will be gradual:

A day

A week

A month

Lifetime

If you are banned we will give an explanation as to why.

If you see something that breaks one of these rules, please report it. We try and be active in the subreddit, but we can't catch everything by ourselves. Reporting makes it easy to see issues on computer and mobile.

Posting

1. Descriptive Titles

If you are posting a linked article Reddit has an option to autofill the title, if it does not work then copy and paste, if the title is clickbait then change the title.

Oregon's official YouTube has decided to title everything with a quote, if you wish to change it that's up to you.

Please flair all posts as accurately as possible as well. With the dual existence of both old and new reddit they may not all work properly, but we are continually working to adjust.

2. General Submissions

Low effort and low quality posts will be removed.

If a thread gets out of hand we will lock the thread or delete it.

3. Premium Content

Sites like ScoopDuck, The Athletic, 247, Rivals, ESPN, and On3 all offer premium content, from articles to forums and sometimes. The general rule on articles has been not to post, because they are behind a paywall and not everyone can access that content. For the time being, if a premium link is posted:

A) the poster needs to make it clear it's behind a paywall

B) Any copy and pasting from the article will get that comment deleted

C) Screenshots from premium forums or articles will be deleted.

These are services that people pay for and others make their living off of. If this becomes a problem then we will address it in the future.

4. Rumors

Rumors are part of the sports world, we completely understand this, but we want to set guidelines on how we will handle them moving forward. We ask that reliable or certified sources are used. These are mainly members of the media, like Stewart Mandel, Bruce Feldman, Tyler Agler, etc or those seemingly inside the program, like Justin Hopkins, or Andrew Nemec. If you start a rumor thread and your source is a screenshot of a user on Facebook we will remove it.

5. Recruiting Posts

We live in the magical age of the Lanning, Graves, Altman recruiting juggernaut era. We have seen a massive rise in the last couple years of high star commits and we want to make sure we are using the service for posts, where applicable.

247 covers both football and basketball ball ranks and stars on players. When making a title make sure you include the Players name, their position, and their star ranking. In the body of the post please include their 247 profile and their commitment announcement, such as Twitter.

Women's sports are a little different and don't have the depth that make sports do. We ask that whenever you post a female recruits commitment you try and get as close as you can to the males.

On big days like NSD we will make a mega thread.

6. Weekly Threads as it relates to football

During the week we will sticky a discussion thread or article almost every day.

• Monday will be a post game discussion

• Tuesday will be /u/hythloday1 post game breakdown

• Wednesday will be a prediction thread

• Thursday/Friday will be when /u/hythloday1 previews article/thread.

• Saturday we will have a game thread, and after the game we will make a post game reaction thread. This is where we want you guys and gals to throw your chairs against the walls or jump on your beds in joy. But remain respectful and mindful of your fellow users. This means that during the game and after no additional posts will be allowed (unless its a link to a specific highlight).

• Sunday will more than likely be any interviews that happen.

Please note that any posts that would better fit one of these megathread will be deleted.

As we get closer to men's & women's basketball and major spring sports we will revisit the best way to handle these same threads as they play more games more often.
