So I've been thinking a lot lately how CycloneRulzzz has a disrupted sleep pattern every single gameday because he has to make the gameday thread. (If he doesn't, it's a guaranteed loss.)

How about CF takes mercy on the poor guy and add a feature to compose a post now but not have it actually be visible until the time you schedule it? That way CycloneRulzzz can create the gameday posts at a normal time, schedule them to go-live at 12am, and the rest of us don't have to feel guilty because either we take the risk of posting the gameday thread so he doesn't have to, or we sit back and let him keep staying up til midnight every other day and eventually he drops dead.

To mitigate risks from these scheduled posts, you could require them to be approved by a moderator before they go live. You could also limit the ability to create scheduled posts to a small group of posters, so that moderators aren't being asked to moderate a truckload of new posts, which they never had to do before.

SAVE RULZZZ

See what happened this morning? Team is now doomed because demon dude tried to post a GameDay thread and it was two minutes early.

So, we post in the future, get the game results and return to the present time and place bets on the outcome we already know? I like it!
