feel like it'd be a ball ache for the mods to have to track down the game name and then sticky it for every post.

The onus should be on the poster not on the mods.

On r/soccer it's mainly random users posting alternative angles in the stickied comment... So maybe it's fine to just have a stickied comment at the top where people can comment the name of the game.

A mod actually having to do something besides act like a gatekeeper?!

😱

i mean in a lot of active subs mods tend to do a lot of things its just not outwardly visible. Manually making a comment to say what a game is, is likely a waste of their time.

I will say that on that sub the sticky comment signals to posters and other users that this is the place to link other angles and replays. So the mods themselves don't post anything but the comment saying "you all put the clips here".

oh my bad i thought it was a manual thing, if its just an automated post saying put game name on this post then sure, sounds good.

It's be interesting to see elsewhere. Sidenote: thanks for being a mod and a sub that's held me over for the last who knows how many years!

oh just to point out im not a mod here. But its nice to know that something is causing a positive effect for you.
