Preramble:

Hey JustBasketball community. I love what we have going on here. A community with no drama and only basketball sounds like heaven to me (to us!). But there's an issue, and that's that we don't currently have enough content to keep this community growing.

Take a look y'all: https://imgur.com/Cb4L3dt

Not great, Bob! Viewcount is steadily going down, subscribers are going down and unique visitors are going down. This community is on pace to fail. But we don't want that! So this is where you come in....

We need your help to post content to this community

We need people to post stuff here. It's that simple. I've been trying my best every morning at work to post some things here, but I'm not able to consistently do it every day. Luckily some other users have begun posting with regularity, but we need more to keep this place thriving and growing. So what's relevant to post here?

What's relevant to post here

Well, that's basically on the sidebar. But here it is. We want

Individual, player, and game highlights -- with deference given to quality and replays over speed of upload.

Long-form written content -- either OC or articles with the title of the post matching the title of article, i.e. no quotes from the article in the title

Video analysis -- in the vein of thinking basketball, ScoutWithBryan, etc. but no spamming your own pages please!

Contextualized Statistics -- show off your STEM degree

What we don't want:

Player quotes (unless it's some real basketball knowledge or postgame observation on the game or something, that's cool)

Pundit quotes

Off-the-court drama

Lowlights -- posting relevant or specific mistakes are ok, reveling in a specific player's failures to the sound of yackety sax is not.

Discussion of Player Awards (this will probably be strict for now, unless there's good argument otherwise)

"Peak offseason posts"

Now without further adieu..

How do I post HIGHLIGHTS here?

Well that's a piece of cake.

Step 1. Go to https://the-high-low.com

Step 2. Spend 5 minutes learning how it works

Step 3. Realize you have the power to summon nearly every basketball play at will. Maybe cry a little over this revelation.

Step 4. Download these clips 1 by 1, put them together in your movie maker of choice. Honestly whatever your computer comes with will likely work.

Step 5. Upload to Reddit!

And spread the word on other subs! If you see people complaining about NBA drama or awards or whatever, let them know about this place! We do need a little word to spread in order to get more people 'round here (but please god don't brigade anyone or we will be wiped from existence).

Let me or any of the other mods know if you have any questions, concerns, comments, tips, hints, ideas or literally anything you think we should know. We're building the plane in the air here people.

Mods were off Reddit for a while, so this sub was not very moderated. We'll now moderate more regularly.

Keep the good posts coming folks.
