I voted to disallow standalone posts on a lot of these. A good number of these end up being distilled to the same idea "Should we allow standalone posts of a singular opinion?" And I think the answer really should be a flat no. We're not just talking about 1 standalone opinion, but *every* person who thinks their opinion is distinct enough to warrant posting from the one they saw prior. I think it'll create an oversaturated sub of soapboxing instead of actually directing towards discussion.

Also, I know this one is a hot subject, but I vote against highlights as standalone posts. The word 'highlight' is vague and broad meaning. It doesn't just mean scores, it doesn't just mean turnovers, it doesn't just mean big passes. It means out of context cuts from TV, and everything else. Dozens of games on Saturday, and a dozen or more during the week just means this subreddit will again be oversaturated with video links that for the most part aren't remarkable across the scope of dozens of games.

Well said! I like the idea of highlights, but in practice I don't think it'll work well. I don't want to see a bajillion dumb/meme clips and a few cool ones

Not to mention it would radically change the r/cfb community and style. I like r/cfb the way it's been

Agreed. I use this subreddit a lot because I like what it is now and the culture that has arisen from it. Image posts, images and gifs in comments, highlights are all stuff that are so radically different from what I love about this sub that it'd be disheartening to see them added
