MODERATORS
 

Hi there,

After @[email protected] was able to get in contact with @[email protected], I volunteered to help moderate this community. I would like to thank both of them for doing the legwork of creating this community/and doing work to keep it running!

I have been a lifelong football/soccer fan and am happy to help keep this community on track and discussing the sport we all love.

If you see something missing on the sidebar (or anywhere else), please let me know!

With that out of the way, does anyone have any photoshop/editing skills? It would be nice to create a banner for this community but that is not something I am excel in so happy to take contributions!

I guess a consensus hasn't been firmly established on memes but I personally wouldn't mind restricting them on this sub, creating a separate Soccer Shitpost sub and linking that in the sidebar.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's a fair suggestion. Probably should open it up to the wider community...or maybe just memes/shitposts only on one day a week etc

I prefer just having each thing in its own place and wholly separate, to be honest. I did enjoy the no holes barred shitpost-a-thon once a year or whatever on r/Soccer over Christmas when the mods had a day off. That felt like a proper event, but I'd not want it more than once or maybe twice a year on the main sub.

Nice, I hope this community grows and we get more regular content :-)

I have no photoshopping skills, but I really like the banner over at https://lemmy.world/c/casualconversation

A banner with the logo blending in like that looks really nice imho

I tried to make one but it just turned out shit.

The video bot for goal highlights I mentioned previously seems to be working btw. It copies the post title and url to the video from reddit and posts it here automatically. If it's ok with you I can start it running 24/7 in the next few day to see how it goes? I can try to adjust it if necessary based on how that goes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Sure, lets try it for a few days and see how it goes. Can adjust as we go forward

Nice to see we finally have active moderation! Hoping to see match threads / daily discussions going :) I know Man U have a bot, and we're working on one ourselves at c/gunners, so that's worth referencing

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks! do you know what bot they are using?

This is United's! It actually works so yea

I can probably cobble something together in Photoshop. What sort of thing were you thinking of?

I believe 730px is the max width

This is my attempt with my below average Photoshop skills.

Signatures (left to right): Pele, Cruyff, Maradona, R9, R7, Messi

It's a nice, clean and simple design. Overall i like it, but my one bit of feedback is to scatter the signatures across the field (more random placement). I like the soccer ball pattern in the lemmy logo.

Added it but its getting cut off at the top, when looking at the post list but looks good when you are in comments

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Did you take a look at the new different design?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is awesome. I was just asking about moderation a few days ago. Let us know what the users can do to make it a thriving and welcoming community.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just contribute stories and comments! We will figure out the rest as we go.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

I have a small hope that I helped this c/ get going by trying to contribute at least every day with a post so people would see that the sub was active xd
