Questions About The Site

This request is for everyone who contributes to Twins Daily. I try to read as many of the articles, forums, and blogs as I can because information on the Twins (and all other Minnesota teams) is very difficult to obtain in Maine. I think there may even be a law that prohibits any written discussion of teams other than the Patriots, Bruins, Celtics, and Red Sox. Probably not, but it wouldn't surprise me. Before I begin my request, I will provide some context. I'm old, dammit. I'm not "you kids get off my lawn" old but I am closing in on 71, and not as familiar with the writing shorthand used by texters and twitterers as someone younger. I also spent many years of m…

Why does the recent blogs part of the page have a bunch of junk in there about resetting passwords??

In general I think moderation is overdone here, posts are deleted far too quickly, but that is up to you guys. A larger issue IMO is how mods EDIT posts of users and leave them on the site, that IMO is wrong as it completely changes the tone, reasoning and overall point of a post. A lot of it is happening by Carole in the Sano thread and I think it's wrong. If you guys want to delete posts left and right...that's fine, but to edit someone's post how YOU see fit and how it works for YOU personally is wrong. Either leave posts as is, or delete. I think some mods are using the edit feature to shape the forums/convos etc to exactly how THEY want them to go, which sort of …

I know this doesn’t belong here, but I didn’t really see a contact webmaster link. I figured this was the quickest way to get it seen. Just as long as someone takes action, I don’t care what happens to this post. Having pop up issues, big time. It’s not my phone, because it only happens on this site. It’s usually right away when I click on my icon to the homepage. I’m not sure what can be done about it, but it is truly annoying.

I think it should be permissible for 40-man roster moves to be posted and discussed in the regular Twins forum....

Just got the fake virus scam pop up on my phone. This after my work computer said viruses were on the site.....

So, a moderator initiated a PM to me today for no other reason than to take a personal shot at me. Just a straight up, no doubt about it, personal shot. Is this something the owners/people who run this site want to happen?

Uh, there is an ad for art.com with nude women on TD right now.....Now, I don't care about that, but I bet some of your "viewers" do.

Unless a bunch of posts were deleted, I don't get it? It wasn't getting over the top and people were being respectful Also Glunn, you owe me that steak dinner!

for the 1,000th time. Plz Fix

What is this, Communist Russia?

Do these not exist anymore!??!?!?! Where can I find all the belly-aching about Molitor in game 1 trying to save top arms for game 2? Not a major issue, but if he would've perhaps used some better relievers right away, we probably could've gotten the sweep yesterday. Oh well, it's just 1 game.... dun dun dun. Hope this message greets you guys all well! Wish I had the time to post as frequently as I used to. (Some of you are probably happy that isn't the case! HA) Seriously though, such an impressive run by the Twins overall right now and individully also. (Buxton, Dozier, Polanco, Rosario) Adios Fellas!

This forum is unreadable right now

Seems like the happy, jokey people don't show up in the game threads much anymore. I am not going to call the current regular posters negative. In fact I enjoy the potshots and dark, jaded humor as much as anyone so it's no skin off my back. I am also confident 99% of them want to see the Twins be a winner. Just seems like we're seeing another instance of the principle "the bad drives out the good" happening. Thought I'd point it out. Thoughts?

In the "Community Stats" segment of the profile, there is a biography section. This now has incorrect information for me, but I am unable to find where I would edit it. I am blind, but could someone help me to see?!

Evidently there's a game thread title "policy" that requires the Twins be listed first in the title. This defies convention across sports where the away team is listed first and the home team is listed second. Can we change the policy to conform with convention? Its information I like to know and am confused by the current format.

Is this happening to anyone else? Search, gear, and ping buttons don't seem to load right. Using chrome.

Piggybacking off of Craig's suggestion that now may be the time to offer a subscription to remove the ads for good... As someone who spends an unhealthy amount of time on this site, I would certainly put my money where my mouth is to remove the auto-play, auto-sound ads, and ads that redirect you to spam sites. How many members would have to buy-in to have a similar subscription fee to Fangraphs ($50 a year)?

I was invited to ask the question so I will. What was the deal with the moderation in that thread? It was the most bizarre sequence of post, response, escalation (by a moderator) and moderation I have ever seen on this board. The original point was made, fair (and accurate imo) challenges to the point were subsequently posted and then it escalated into a discussion of intent of original poster vs. a response to what was literally posted. I understand wanting to protect some people, but the original point was made by a frequent poster, said poster seems capable of defending themself. So why did the responses to the responses escalate to saying the original responde…

I like it. Very similar feel to the desktop version of the site.

You guys need to tone down the ads and be more selective about who you serve ads from. It has happened more than once on this site where one of the ads triggers my antivirus, or the page gets hijacked and I end up on another website without clicking on anything. I understand you need ads for cash, but it is also your responsibility ensure that you are not causing security problems for your website visitors.

We have several emojis available to us. I'd like to use this one :shoot: in response to Dave. Is that allowed?

This Patak's ad is becoming a pain in the rear. I cannot close it or "explore more" with the ads buttons. It interferes with the notifications icon... it is always in front and blocks me from seeing my notifications. Ironically, I like Patak's, especially their Jalfrezi Sauce. Can this please be remedied? Thank You, Bark

So I have had no less than 3 posts deleted by the overzealous moderation team in the past 48 hours, all of which were responding directly to people bringing up Aaron hicks and how he can't "keep this up" etc Just worth bringing attention to this weird issue. I understand somewhat about you moving my hicks thread, but now to censor me to not even mutter the word Hicks in response to specific posts saying Hicks isn't good/hasn't turned a corner? A little much.

I love this feature. Recently it has been acting wonky: taking me to the first post, then clicking the view first unread post, I brought to the top of a later page. This doesn't happen all the time and it just started acting up in the last week or so. A minor inconvenience to be sure, but little problems can sometimes forecast bigger problems I'm using Safari on Mac OS when I encounter the issue. I also read occasionally on iOS which has not shown the problem.

Has the ability to PM people been temporarily taken away, or is it just me? Like when I got banned for almost two months only to have Brock re-instate me saying he didn't know why I had been banned and no one else with the power to ban posters knew why either?

Wow. This is exactly the 600,000th post on this site. Crazy, isn't it?

Just saw another one for skiing, very annoying. Why hasn't this been fixed yet?

You guys should set one up. Im sure there are a large number of users who would contribute a few bucks a month.

Is there going to be a formal contest as we predict over/unders this year? I know last year was the contest to win Harry's Razors.... But it looks like there's other things like the Taproom Tour that's a higher priority this year. I don't care if it's a true contest or not. It's just fun to throw out our predictions for bragging rights.
