Playoff and Realignment Posts are once again Allowed

Now that we've reached the offseason, we're reopening our policy from last year that we're closing down the weekly Playoff and Realignment posts, which means it's once again permitted to post on these topics as standalone posts

We try to strike a balance in how to organize content in terms of allowing the community to be creative but also not having certain types of content overrun everything else. Our rules are generally more relaxed in the offseason when there's less traffic and we can have more free-flowing conversations. These two topics are of such frequent discussion that having a single thread as a home to concentrate discussion each week has been a good balance to date.

Based on a poll of randomly sampled frequent commenters prior to the season, the significant consensus on both Playoff and Realignment posts was not to allow them during the season, but to allow them during the offseason. Effective immediately posts on these subjects will be approved if submitted.

Please note that all other rules and posting rules must be met, notably:

• Make a good-faith effort to check whether or not the exact content you want to post has already been posted.
• All text-only posts must have a minimum of 2 sentences.
• To keep spam down, we limit users to three posts per day. This includes recruiting posts. Please follow the recruiting guidelines as listed in the "Recruiting Post Rules" section.
• You need to participate as a commenter in the subreddit first before posting, so that you can best get a feel for sub dynamics, culture, and rules.

Happy posting!
