MK11 gamethreads were the reason I signed up I just had to grab me some sweet piece of action. This is a good idea to fire the gamethread quality up. Good job Gameface.
So let's lay out the basics of what needs to be in a game thread.
#1 -- Opponent
#2 -- Accurate time and location
#3 -- TV coverage
#4 -- Pics related to the Jazz and their opponent
#5 -- additional info as related to this particular matchup (Jazz w/l vs this team, injury update, recent player or personal movement, related non BBall news stories, etc)
Optional, lucky girl pic. I propose that lucky girl pics be limited to 1 pic in the OP. Nothing over the line.
Special content created by the OP or other jazzfanzers is highly encouraged, like photoshopped pics, gifs, etc.
Trivia and other background info on our history with the opponent is highly encouraged.
Clean well organized layout highly encouraged.

After Cy's abortion of a game thread, something has to be done.
I feel like you're just being a smart ***, but just in case, what rules do you think are getting in the way?
I don't want this to be complex. It's a basic idea about signing up to make a game thread. I've seen many times that a game thread goes up and one of the first posts is from someone saying they were working on an awesome game thread but now it's too late.
I was just looking to make sure posters had the freedom to be creative and make a good game thread without worrying that either they would be stepping on anyone else's toes our that someone would step on theirs.
The basic components of a game thread shouldn't get in the way of anyone's creativity and it isn't like there will be any real enforcement of game thread standards anyway.
But, that said, a game thread should have some basic stuff like who we're playing, when the game starts, if there is tv coverage... it should also look good and include some pics. These threads are a representation of this online community. They should involve a little thought and effort.

[sarcasm]I blame HOA's and public schools. People get used to relying on rules, it gives them a false sense of security.
oops, look at the time, I gotta go meet Dutch for a beer now. [/sarcasm]
[serious]The process of making rules is very interesting. What seems low impact, simple and straight forward to you, looks very different to others. And the outcome you envision, will be far from what is delivered. Someone will find a vague phrase, a misplaced word, or something you never considered, then exploit it. It will probably result in an argument, or at least a good discussion. Then the rules will be amended. About then someone is going to ask "Why does Gameface get to decide the rules?"
I'm not opposed nor supportive of the idea, I just find the process fascinating.[/serious]
