A User's Guide to Royals Review: Commenting

PrintWith the season drawing near, Royals Fever sweeping across the nation, and Royals Review becoming minutely more popular with each passing month, now is a perfect time to offer a refresher on how the site works and how it can work best.
How to Comment and Use the Commenting Software
- The commenting software here at SB Nation is literally state of the art, and just about the best I've seen on the web. When you open up a page, you have a variety of ways of navigating. Pressing the C button will move you through the comments. X will mark them as read. So will Z, which basically combines X and C in one button. I'm a big Z guy. Love it. It will change your life. You will find yourself pressing Z on less awesome sites all the time. If you are using a slow internet connection or often have a zillion windows open, you might want to turn off the auto-updating comments and reload when you want.
- You can help out your fellow fan by flagging spam/inappropriate comments and recommending good ones.
- Please refrain from posting flagrantly off-topic comments outside of the game and open threads. The reason is simple. It really diminishes the quality of the site. I want the presumptive reader of a post on this site to be able to assume that the comments attached to a post are about those posts. As soon as that expectation goes, then all the good comments start to get ignored because they're getting the same treatment that comments on non-moderated sites get. I love the depth and variety of the site. Honestly, the comments are often more interesting than the things I write. I'm getting very close to just cold deleting off-topic comments. Example, asking where you can watch Royals games on your computer in a generic post about a player. This isn't Yahoo Answers. I'm going to be more lenient within game threads, because those are more open discussions around an often boring game, and I respect that. But if Jeff posts a Heat Maps post about Alcides Escobar and comment three is someone asking about how to buy tickets, I'm going to turn into Mean Will.

So, Burrito supreme or cheesy crunch wrap?
I was in the drive thru tonight and was having a hell of a time making my mind up. Still not sure I made the right call. Fell $4 short of the standard. SOS.

I think you may want to do a supplemental article on terms & jargon
I.e. – TWSS- that’s what she said ( learned that today) or maybe more sesame street style example AB – at bat…

quite a bit if you include memes
I think last week we were listing off some of the memes in a game thread. I don’t know if we should put together a tutorial though. If you try and list them, then we’re essentially saying, “these are the endorsed ones.” And I think that just takes way too much off of a poster. There’s a certain charm in posting something you think is funny and others not quite agreeing.
Either way, I feel like I’m pretty young and hip, but when something/term comes up that I don’t understand, first stop is urbandictionary.

I was thinking once the season got going, maybe I'd post a meme tournament
and we could decide the best one.
I might have to do it with a series of posts and polls though.

I'm happy to flag spam
even though I don’t know why.

Hmmmm . . . there's supposed to be a can of Spam there, too.
I’m starting to wonder about this state of the art commenting software.

In honor of the Royals
my idea was ill-conceived and poorly-executed.

OT: Two female wolves just escaped from the Barcelona zoo and are on the loose
They’re tracking them down in the streets of the medieval Born neighborhood. Fortunately I don’t live there.

They caught
one of them. The other’s still out running around. I hope it eats one of the homeless bums who hang out there. Those guys are the biggest dirtbags in Europe.

They caught the second one
before it ate any passed-out alcoholics.

Yeah, all the drug-addicted homeless in Europe
come to Spain because it’s warm and they don’t get tossed in jail or deported and there are lots of tourists to hassle and alcohol is cheap. Every once in a while one of them kills another.

Imminent danger, then?
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

Yep, last time I passed out down on the waterfront
I woke up missing a kidney.
These guys are only a danger to one another; since they’re drunks and most of them are lawbreakers, stabbings aren’t unusual. They should all have been institutionalized in their home countries because they’re either crazy or long-term substance abusers. Instead, Barcelona gets them.

Spain actually has one of the lowest murder rates
in the world. This is a country of 45 million inhabitants, 5 million of whom are immigrants, and literally tens of millions of individual tourists per year. Spain has the geographical area of Texas. It’s pretty amazing there are so few killings. Whenever there’s a murder anywhere in Spain it makes the national news.
Spain has about 1 murder per 100,000 inhabitants a year. Most European countries have about 2. The US has about 6. Really violent countries like Colombia or South Africa have 60 or 70. Spain’s also got a very low suicide rate. The US is fairly low compared to most of Europe. You’re more likely to get murdered in the US than in France, but you’re more likely to commit suicide if you’re French than if you’re American.
