At some point I think the loss of a spot in the league needs to happen. Not sure when that point is, past, present or future.
Ban hammer? If only we had a forum moderator in our league who could come up with appropriate screen names for the guilty individuals........
The threat of a locked team mid-season, back when people gave a shit, would probably be the best motivator. But, that messes with the competitive balance a little bit. Past that, if only one of us had admin privileges on this forum to mess with an offending party (once again, legit reasons aside). Otherwise, there is no recourse other than withholding a return invite.
It's gotta go to a pre-draft pay. We have a waiting list for this "elite" league, there should be no problem filling some deadbeat spots.
The BBS moderator involved in the league said before the season that everyone should be paid up before being allowed to draft. So don't be looking at him now to administer punishment when it's too late. Those of you on the book of faces, do you know if the deadbeats are on there? If so, can you tell them over there to look over here? Or maybe send texts if you have phone numbers…
I was in agreement on pre-draft pay. Our commish was just too nice. I do have one of the phone #'s, unless it's changed...
That is happening absolutely for sure. And it's gonna be due at least a week before the draft so we can field a replacement team if somebody can't come up with the cash.
Not 100% on you. Guys need to pay. Did you guys see that video where some Comcast assholes were doing utility work in the snow and ice over a 40mph blind hill using only a few cones, spaced appropriately for the dry in a residential area. Unsurprisingly, there were a bunch of accidents. I'd link a video, but that's not allowed. Anyway, my metaphor is that you are the cars. Sure, you could have been going a little slower, but Comcast is still the one in the wrong. Comcast is always the one in the wrong.
How come the 1 seed plays the winner of 3/5, and the 2 seed gets the winner of 4/6? Seems that should be the other way around. Yes, Papa scares me.
I think this is the best course going forward. One definitely should not be invited again, and one may have a bad credit history going forward.
