And what happens if we all move DE's to the end and someone violates and is kicked out? For how long? We've already had an owner break the tanking rule and the 1st round trade rule and are in the league currently.

If we don't like the rules we can always leave right? No need to be bitching about anything just abandon the team and go to another league that will allow any type of rules right?

Life is about the choices you make. I don't like Nora Odonnell so when she comes on my TV I shut her off. I don't complain she is just gone. As I said, I don't have a solid idea yet. perhaps the competition committee? a league monitor? or just notifying the league admin / his cronies? This change in regime came as a shock to most of us. This season is tough for everyone as the covid19 virus has complicated RL for everyone. Rome wasn't built in a day and this issue will not be solved so simply either. IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD! IT's A GAME. Try to treat each other with respect and show some Sportsmanship. This too shall pass. If the rules are not being enforced it may be that someone has more to worry about in their life than PAYDIRT or MFN., and yeah, if you don't like the rules NO ONE is forcing you to stay. I have no authority here, I'm Barney Fife, a gun and no bullets. Remember, one of the reasons beercloud left was the bickering and whining. If you want to comment fine do it without attacking bring solutions to the table. DON't be part of the problem, PLEASE!..............................................MM

I said please.....................LOL

Have the trade and first-round pick rules been abandoned? Did I miss that when I was away? Did we drop the league reps? competition committee?...........................MM

I don't recall ever saying it was okay. Not one time.

Lmao You wait until now to respond to this, instead of yesterday when you responded to the other part? Hilarious

I think we all like this game because it bears some semblance to reality although admittedly it is imperfect. I also think that most of us would prefer to play the game in such a way as to maintain and improve its realism with the existing MFN code. Anything that a GM proposes which moves us in that direction I would favor - including jettisoning GMs who exploit imperfections in the MFN code.

I'd like to determine whether the community agrees generally with that sentiment. If so, we could then discuss ways to achieve that goal which is both fair, predictable and transparent. However, I'd like to hear from GMs in the community who think that all's fair in (love and) war and that GMs may do anything permitted to do under the existing MFN code.

If we choose to go that route, then at a minimum, we should have a thread that exposes all such "cheating" methods so that everyone in the community is aware of and can use or try to counter such methods. Otherwise, I think we're back to "punishing" transgressors by, for example, ejecting them from the league - perhaps permanently (as best we can achieve that goal).

Thanks for the input. Hopefully, we'll get through this issue with little rancor and in the spirit of everyone trying to maximize their enjoyment of the game.

What's so hilarious is how triggered you are suddenly about punt blocks and how you seem to think you carry more weight than others around here. It's pretty comical.

It's pretty simple you either change the rules for all of these or you don't change any of it. I still find it pretty telling you are only crusading about one instance.

As bored as I am sitting at home this punt block thread is even more so.

You want to stop it? Easy. Whenever an owner observes a punt block notify the LA who sends a PM with a warning. Happens again boot them. Simple. done. no dedicated hours of reviewing all the games.

WR at CB. CB at DE. Sucks but I don’t think it has the impact as punt blocks but as a league you have to decide if this is acceptable or not. Comply or goodbye.

Again. As a league, decide what rules you want in place and owners will stay or go.

I agree two guys taking shots at each other is not debate, as the thread was intended. It's not hard...but let's have some constructive ideas to help solve the issue. (like Mac's)
