Pursuant to our awareness that the membership agreement/community guidelines do not always appear as prominently as we would like when new users from outside SBN join Lookout Landing, I have added them permanently to the sidebar. They are visible beneath the divisional standings, which is as elevated as is allowed. We are going to (continue to) be strict in enforcing these rules. Ignorance of them is no longer a viable excuse.

Is it possible to move them up even higher?
Like below the disclaimer on game threads? Even if not, it’s good to finally have these visible.

Any way to put it right underneath the Narrow/Wide links?

Matthew - May 18, 2009
Does this mean we can't discuss this?
OlSalty - May 18, 2009
Does this mean Mark Lowe can start at 3rd base?
Fin - May 18, 2009
It would be a blow to the defense, but it would be worth it.
.Taylor - May 18, 2009
So your saying that raising them higher than the standings is out of the question?
Poochie - May 18, 2009
You're.
EnglishMariner - May 18, 2009
I think you're mistaken
Poochie - May 18, 2009
You should find a way to integrate the guidelines into the Lexus ads
tootthekazoo - May 18, 2009
God those are dumb.
If your in wide mode you can’t see them at all.
Scruffy Lefty - May 18, 2009
In wide mode, can see then
Poochie - May 18, 2009
I wish that was true, Scruffy
marc w - May 18, 2009
I'm in wide mode on a standard 4:3 type monitor
I can barely see the edges of them, which makes them that much more annoying
tootthekazoo - May 18, 2009
It takes 5 minutes for the lexus ads to show up before I can start using C-Z to skip thru messages
It reallys sucks. But I want to own one now.

Smileys are OK

johnbai - May 18, 2009
On a more serious note, though
I do wonder if there is a way to put them on the right sidebar. I say this because the guidelines don’t appear to be showing up inside of a thread. This could be helpful because some people may get directly into threads via RSS or Yahoo links
tootthekazoo - May 18, 2009
Listen to this man, he is wise

seattlebruin - May 18, 2009

You can thank

That's not the only thing she's been transmitting amongst baseball players
abender20 - May 18, 2009
If you're alluding to STDs, I find it appalling.
It’s beneath this site’s standards.

He meant whooping cough from all the shared charity functions.
The fact that you would insult Alyssa Milano, Fine Upstanding Citizen, in that way is disgraceful.
Faux - May 18, 2009
I know, right? Waaaay out of line.
abender20 - May 18, 2009
Well, actually, no.
Cutesy t-shirts, yes, but the pink hats have been attributed by some to … the M’s.
Sigh. from the PI back in 2004:
“After joining the Mariners in 2000, director of merchandise Julie McGillivray wanted to offer a baseball hat in pink, which she thought would sell well among women. The manufacturers she approached, however, initially couldn’t produce that shade. “They were shocked,” said McGillivray, who used to be a buyer for Bon-Macy’s.
A pink hat debuted in 2001, followed by a tank top with pink straps and a T-shirt with the Mariners name in pink. Now such non-traditional colors are common; some items are even sold in competing team colors."
msb - May 18, 2009
Gag.
From my observation, the girls I meet and know who are donning baby pink M’s gear are usually the ones who cried the day Jeremy Reed went away.
melenious - May 18, 2009
I have never, ever, head of anyone lamenting the loss of Jeremy Reed.
Besides, the trade that sent Reed to the Mets helped us get Franklin Gutierrez, People’s Sexiest Man of the Century.
Decatur - May 18, 2009
But now that all our problems would be solved by a left-handed bat
Don’t you wish you had sexpot Jeremy back in M’s gear?
johnbai - May 18, 2009
I never considered him sexpot.
Decatur - May 18, 2009
Which is one of the unpublished reasons he left.
pdb - May 18, 2009
Maybe I'm in the minority.
But, I just don’t see it.
Then again, my taste in dudes is often questioned..
melenious - May 18, 2009
HERESY!
WIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTCCCHHHH!!!!!!!
Decatur - May 18, 2009
You wouldn't be the first
To say that.
melenious - May 18, 2009
Jeremy Reed
Always looks kinda greasy to me. I can’t decide if that’s hot or not…
section331 - May 18, 2009
As voted on by men
Robert - May 18, 2009
Gotcha.
I totally respect man-crushes.
melenious - May 18, 2009
That doesn't invalidate your opinion of, say, King Felix, does it?
Decatur - May 18, 2009
Felix is a mastodon
Robert - May 18, 2009
Last I saw Felix was in no way extinct or in the process of becoming a tar pit
pdb - May 18, 2009
Felix is the bomb.
But pitching prowess aside, meh.
Let the stoning begin…
melenious - May 18, 2009
His pitching prowess makes him hot.
He could look like Jason Vargas and we’d still find him dreamy.
abender20 - May 18, 2009
Felix, Gutz, etc. are sexy because of what they DO more so than because of what they look like.
Decatur - May 18, 2009
Well this comment was poorly thought-out.
Decatur - May 18, 2009
I agree.
If only I could yell out, ’You’re SO SEXY!‘, after say a Felix K or a Gutz hit without having parents frown upon me. That’d be the life.
melenious - May 18, 2009
Well, with Lookout Landing,
it looks like you’ve found the proper kind of outlet for your emotions.
Decatur - May 18, 2009
Thank goodness.
I can now rest in peace.
melenious - May 18, 2009
And NOLA.
She’s the one who Christened Gutz with the name “Sex in Midair.”
Decatur - May 18, 2009
Nola's a girl?
Poochie - May 18, 2009
Really?
Sec 108 - May 18, 2009
Not a question.
NOLA is a girl and a fine one at that.

Well that came out a bit stronger then I intended.

Way to go now everybody knows your true feelings
tootthekazoo - May 18, 2009
Especially since she's you stepmom
Poochie - May 18, 2009
That's because you used a period at the end of your sentence.

To me, how she dresses makes up a large portion of whether or not she is attractive.

It's easily 40-50%.
abender20 - May 18, 2009
I agree for the most part
but I have never cared about things like hat color when considering how a woman dresses.

Kind of reminds me of that movie, Anger Management
I am not sure if posting the picture would be appropriate, though.

Decatur - May 18, 2009

Good call. Should've added that disclaimer.

Coach can be silly sometimes.

He hasn’t been around much since I joined.

Can't blame him with the way he's usually treated though
Even when he’s acting fairly normal people still twist his words and don’t take him seriously
tootthekazoo - May 18, 2009
He is legendary and has massive amounts of seniority over me.
I would treat him as a god.
Decatur - May 18, 2009
I'll pass that along to him if he doesn't see it while reading up on stuff
tootthekazoo - May 18, 2009
Maybe he should have avoided continually being a flaming retard for most of his career then
Graham MacAree - May 19, 2009
He lurks frequently.

OlSalty - May 18, 2009
This might be interpreted as me being needy, but I'm genuinely curious.
Do you all see a noticeable improvement in my and Coach’s posting? I’ve certainly been trying to be more conscious of when to not hit “post.”
.Taylor - May 18, 2009
You're getting better, yes.
Don’t stop working on it though.
Matthew - May 18, 2009
I have noticed an improvement
you’re much better when you have something to contribute though – posts that say just “YES” or the equivalent don’t add much. But yeah, keep working on it and you’ll do fine.
pdb - May 18, 2009
Coach sucks and he isn't even entertaining anymore
Graham MacAree - May 19, 2009
The proper term for this is "Dola"
Matthew - May 18, 2009
Really?
That’s not going to stop me from wearing mine.
From a female perspective, I love it when dudes sport caps, with the exception of NY caps.
melenious - May 18, 2009
I know my view on the subject is the minority.
I just never liked a girl wearing a ball cap. Unless its while watching a football/baseball game. I don’t mind the wearing of ball caps for the purpose of team-spirit.
d0nkey - May 18, 2009
I second this whole-heartedly.
Baseball caps always remind me of really trashy women for some reason. Other types of hats are alright though.Team-spirit is always acceptable.
Zwakamatsu - May 18, 2009
Good to know.
I will take all of this into consideration before I purchase another cap.
melenious - May 18, 2009
Bah baseball caps on girls are awesome.
Decatur - May 18, 2009
I wish
There was a ‘thumbs up’ button somewhere for this.
melenious - May 18, 2009
There is. Click the "actions" button and then click "recommend" to give me a "rec."
We will all sell our souls to get these.
Decatur - May 18, 2009
Ah.
Awesome. Thanks for the heads up, I’m such a noob.
melenious - May 18, 2009
Rec begging is a both pathetic and a dead meme

Robert probably has several thousand times as many recs as I do.
But yes, I suppose rec begging is was dead memed a while ago.
Decatur - May 18, 2009
I don't think Robert is jealous of anyone's recs
a 150 rec+ and 50,000 recs will do that for you
seattlebruin - May 18, 2009

Really large picture hats that will impede the view of most of the row behind me.

Girls in hats are awesome
As are girls in jerseys. Really, just girls with a good knowledge of baseball. That’s flat-out sexy.
Robert Lintott - May 18, 2009

bluemax - May 18, 2009
You are the second person to take my comment this way, so I will clarify because I do not want people to think incorrectly of me.
I was not offering my opinion on the subject of women wearing hats. I was simply saying the d0nkey should have phrased it as an opinion rather than as a statement of fact.
Matthew - May 18, 2009
Oooh linguistic pet peeve time!
The use of the word “period” for emphasis is redundant, because of that little dot at the end of the sentence. That one’s always bugged me, even more so than “ATM Machine”.
pdb - May 18, 2009
But a standard period conveys no sense of definitiveness or finality.
I think “period” is a perfectly acceptable, as long it isn’t overused. What’s your objection, aside from pet peevedness?
Decatur - May 18, 2009
Redundancy.
A standard period is a perfectly emphatic way to end a sentence.
A standard period is a perfectly emphatic way to end a sentence. Period.
There’s no added heft to that second sentence. Saying “period” at the end doesn’t really add any emphasis that using the punctuation mark alone doesn’t already apply.
pdb - May 18, 2009
I would disagree.
I feel it does add weight.
Matthew - May 18, 2009
Although that weight is better used when speaking it
Doesn’t carry the same emphasis when typed out
tootthekazoo - May 18, 2009
I think that it started as a spoken thing, where you can't see the period at the end of someone's sentence.
It’s like when I’ve seen people type “quote-unquote” when they can just use quotation marks.
Zwakamatsu - May 18, 2009
Exactly
tootthekazoo - May 18, 2009
I've never seen that.

Or at least swapping it with the current location of the Membership agreement? Seems like this would be a more important thing to emphasize than warning people about the nature of game threads. If it’s possible, of course.
ThundaPC - May 18, 2009
People do also need a fair warning on GT conduct.
abender20 - May 18, 2009
I still think the game thread warning has merit though
having a game thread be one’s first exposure to LL would be a rather jarring experience, I would think.
pdb - May 18, 2009
All game threads are jarring experiences and I've been through plenty of them
seattlebruin - May 18, 2009
But if that were the first thing you ever saw at LL it might not be the welcome-to-LL moment that the mods would like
so at least with the warning up there people know what they’re getting into.

This is what got me hooked!

I mean this in the nicest of ways, but please go seek help.
See if Johnbai has an opening in his schedule.
abender20 - May 18, 2009
I am a functioning addict.
d0nkey - May 18, 2009
I can't help you if you insist on remaining in denial
At least take stock of the cost of your addiction. Have you lost friends? Are you less productive? Has it threatened your job, your family or your health? When you’re ready to admit the sad answers to these questions… then you’ll be ready to take the first step of the rest of your life.
johnbai - May 18, 2009
All of these things are true since the summer of 2007 when I joined LL.
What is the cure?

As any addict will tell you
there is no “cure”. You will always be an addict. You have to manage each day one at a time. You cannot control the past or the future… you only have today… and today you must choose whether to use or not to use.
If you are asking what strategies can help you manage your addiction, that is another question entirely.

My first LL GDT had that little red furball gif and Benny Hill music synced with 9/11 footage.
I turned out fine.
R.J. Anderson - May 18, 2009
Ahhh, those were the good times.
Now all you have is softcore and/or furrie gifs.

Little known fact - Muppets are just midget furries.
Faux - May 18, 2009
Don't mess up Muppets for me.
royalcurve - May 18, 2009
Yea, but what about swapping them?
Is it more problematic that people are shell shocked when they go into a game thread or when people are freely using chatspeak, no capitalizing words, no subject line, etc. in any thread?
ThundaPC - May 18, 2009
Bah.
IcebreakerX - May 18, 2009
Huh?

You expect someone who advertises their love of the Oklahoma City Thunder to make sense?
thewyrm - May 18, 2009
Holy shit. There are other Thunder fans here?
I was afraid of coming out. I can’t quit Durant.
sammy - May 18, 2009
no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
Sonics fans automatically became hijack city fans if the user didn’t manually change their SBN profile. This was not a very smart admission, I’m afraid
seattlebruin - May 18, 2009
I set it up, you spike it over the net!

The PRC and NPE governments are collaborating?
whaaaaa???
seattlebruin - May 18, 2009
Oceania is at war with Eurasia.
We have always been allied with East Asia!

Decatur - May 18, 2009
Oh. Shit. Well, then.
I guess it’s out now. Sorry, but I can’t not root for that team. I tried not looking up their box scores everyday, I really did.
I obviously loathe Clay Bennett. I wouldn’t be caught dead in a Thunder jersey and would never fork over money to the franchise. Even the games I do watch are streamed online for free. But I never had any problems with the team from Sam Presti on down. They’re just trying to win basketball games.
sammy - May 18, 2009
Did they?
I could’ve sworn it just took my NBA fandom away, which is exactly what happened when the Sonics died.
bluemax - May 18, 2009
As a non-basketball fan,
I couldn’t really start the OKC bombing jokes.
But as a fan of OKC bombing jokes, I’m sorry they never took off here.
