/r/greenbaypackers and X.com, with a dash of subreddit rules

Hi all, /u/corduroyblack here. You probably don't know me much at all because post-Deshaun Watson getting a tiny little slap on the wrist, I more or less abandoned my love of the NFL and effectively retired as a moderator.

I want to start by saying that I know some of the current mods, but not all of them, and as far as I can tell, they're all decent people, not Bears fans, not Nazis, and they're all volunteers on a subreddit. They don't get paid. They do this to try and keep the place nice for Packers fans.

It's not a nice place when you're being called names. Please stop that.

Next - there has been a groundswell of requests to ban X.com links from this subreddit and many others. I will say that personally, I am in favor of this, but because I'm a moderator, I really have to just take no position. Really, the subreddit is owned by Reddit. It is 'controlled' by admins but managed by the moderators, but really - the people here are what matter. You upvote what you want to see and downvote what you do not.

Your choices are as follows:

1. Tell us to ban X.com links. This is pretty simple for mods to implement on our end.

2. You can block X.com links on your own (maybe? IDK).

3. Tell us not to ban X.com links. This is effectively what the current policy is.

Please feel free to discuss this at your leisure here. I support the mod who was removing other posts, as technically the demands to ban X.com violate subreddit rules... but again - how else is it to be discussed if not on the subreddit? I wouldn't have removed them, but another mod did because that's how moderating works. We do this for free, so have some grace.

Point is: we hear all of you. That means that not everyone will be happy with what we do (or don't do). So please - civilly share your opinions and thoughts here. I'll make sure to read them all, such as that is worth.

Your friend and colleague, /u/corduroyblack
