Again, that's hard to have a definition for. I started the Eric Berry Haglund thread, which has become a megathread for reasons even I don't really understand. Do I ban myself?

Good point. Ban ****tards that ruin a clean thread with Q because that info was in an impossible to follow mega thread.

It becomes subjective - what is "breaking news" to one will just be unimportant to another. You're not going to make everyone happy when it comes to the threads around here, especially megathreads.

Mods will have to try to "read the room" as it were and split or not split as to how the thread flows, JMO
I'm a great room reader

It just gets really tough to draw the line. The Mahomes thread is great, and if we posted a new thread for every article about him it would be ridiculous.

But I've read 4-5 articles this week about how much attention his no-look passes have gotten around the NFL, and we don't have a single thread dedicated to that discussion.
Link to the articles?

I don't think we should lock the threads though

"This thread is for general discussion about Travis Kelce. If you have anything that is particularly noteworthy, PLEASE post it as a new thread rather than just dumping it in here, where 75% of people won't see it."
Sounds good. Print it.

Editing titles sounds like too much work. Hate megathreads. New minor threads moar better

Chief Roundup 12-12-2018 05:43 PM
Mega threads definitely have their place. Donkos, Guns, Royals, Cardinals, etc.
I like the idea of editing the thread title in certain situations, like what was done with the Kelvin Benjamin thread.
I would like to see the new information added to the OP, while older information could be put in spoiler tags to keep the length of the OP tolerable.

I voted for #2 but probably should have voted for #3 instead or a combo of the two options. I like when you one of you mods edit the thread title to reflect new information.

Good discussion, great timing, it's only going to get more crowed in here as the legend of PMII#15 grows.

There should be one big megathread for all posts. No other threads

I've wanted to have a "wiki post" function where a small number of users would edit the OP with new info for years. Unfortunately, it's not really possible without just adding an army of mods.

cross post as a new thread leaving the old thread?

displacedinMN 12-12-2018 07:26 PM
I would like that some thread get a mandatory spoiler in the OP. Some get damn long.

PHOG 12-12-2018 07:28 PM
Let the poster decide if it should be a new thread or not.

If they want to post it in the mega-thread, so be it.

If they want it to be a new thread, so be it. It will live or die on its own merits.
