Hello crazy Astros thread members --

I am reviewing the moderation of this thread. It clearly went sideways at some point. I made the staff edit on the OP, a while back. I can give you some justification as to why we need this thread to stay civilized.

I received multiple e-mails with concerns about the thread devolving into pages of .gifs of bikini (or bikini-less, as the case may be) girls. We can't have that and here is why:

folks like to view this thread while at work.

I know TexAgs.com has been hurting office productivity for more than a decade, but if we get too much of that stuff, folks don't want to open it at the office. Now, if our moderators were too heavy handed in enforcing this, as seems to be the complaint, then we apologize. They were trying to clamp down on this to keep the thread ASTROS related more than ....you know....other stuff related.

An occasional .gif. A girl in a swimsuit. Not a big deal. But we do have to clean up the other stuff or thin it out to keep the thread work-safe.

Please do e-mail the moderator if you have any further questions. I know: tl;dr.
Gig 'em!

Ok work safe. Totally get that. So when I created a separate thread for gifs to celebrate Astros wins, why was that deleted? That solved both problems. You guys had your work safe thread to ease the offended Mormon complaints and we had our gifs so we can enjoy rockin victory tits.

Somethings gotta give for the sake of TOFA.

What he is saying is that the moderator that made the initial post and was fine with it on point, was not the day-to-day moderator enforcing the rules.

Post a gif or two, but not pages and pages. Which looks like that's what we are going back to.

Shouldn't people be working instead of Texagging (halfway joking). I mean, come on, this is ridiculous. Making changes for a few over the protests of the masses. Things like this (as well as deleting posts when there was no reason to) is why I cancelled my subscription to Texags.

I'm a teacher. If I look at this thread, it's during my planning period or lunch on my phone when I have no students.

It's really not that difficult.......

I think we are all on the same page here. [page 76, that is]

Seriously. It's just the pics of girls grabbing their bare boobs and bouncing up and down and thinks along this line. It does get out of hand and we want this Astros baseball. Like I said, occasional -- not a big deal.

I am quite ready to answer any specific questions you might have, just e-mail the moderator.

Gig 'em!

I think #TOFA is half the reason most people read this thread.

If staph wants more views, let TOFA live!

Yep... Looks like a few .JPGs are okay after a win... But .GIFs could cause some trouble.

Despite some of the struggles over the first 9 games, I still get almost giddy reading that lineup.

I like moving Reddick up and Bregman down. It also sets up some R/L combos that our lineup usually lacks.

Big fan of Reddick batting number 2.

Staff, I recommend people viewing this thread at work on the mobile site. Is there a way to link that on the first page or something?

Can we have a separate TOFA thread that wont get banhammered out of existence? One on the baseball board where Astros fans can have gloriously awesome bouncing jugs?

Especially if every Mariner decides to call time out at the very last second.

Next time it happens I say let it fly into their ear hole.

If Fires tried to do that he'd throw a strike
