Hello fellow football enthusiasts!

I hope you're all enjoying our community dedicated to the beautiful game. I wanted to ask your opinion regarding the current state of moderation and rules, and I'd appreciate your thoughts.

I've noticed that our community has only one moderator who hasn't posted anything in the past three weeks. This raises questions about how we can ensure that discussions remain productive, respectful, and in line with community guidelines.

What specific rules or guidelines do you believe are necessary to maintain a healthy and constructive discussion?
Does anyone know the moderator? I wonder if we can reach out to him/her. I sent a message but haven't heard back yet.

Thank you!

Personally, I'd like to keep the memes or shitposting kinda contained. Maybe a daily or weekly meme post. I really like how things are right now with the on-topic posts and discussions.

Might also need a bit of active moderation to remove duplicates posts and enforce some civility, though right now those aren't problems.

Daily discussion threads would be a good way to keep people engaged.

For the moderator situation, you can probably contact a site admin and bring it to their attention. They should be able to add extra mods (I know this because this situation came up for a community I created right before I went on vacation).

I’d say pick a day where we can go nuts on memes and keep it at that. Not Monday though.

Midweek there are usually European matches on, so maybe on Fridays? Reddit footy subs have free talk Friday threads, maybe something like that?

I like the way this sub is right now in terms of sticking to news and transfer updates. If it turns into a wild west of memes I'll probably leave. But I can live with 1 day of the week. Daily Discussion threads would also be a great addition as ThePowerofGreek suggested.

I'd like to keep the memes out if possible and keep this sub to news, transfer stories, goal highlights etc much like the old place. Don't mind browsing some memes now and then but I'd rather have a separate community for that. If one exists it can be linked in the sidebar, maybe.

Daily Discussion would be great, agreed.
