Posting Regarding Trades and Collusion (1 Viewer)

[Jeff Pasquino]

To quote Joe from here:

There are a lot of people here. That means there are a lot of posts. The reality is that there can easily be way too much "noise" drowning out the good info that makes this board what it is.

...

The rule of thumb for the Shark Pool here is "Make it applicable to everyone". I hate to break it to you but most people in the Shark Pool don't care about your team. They care about football. If the focus of your post is your team, it won't work.

The natural extension of the bolded section about "no one cares about your team" is that "no one cares about you league" either. Sad, but often true.To put this another way, posts that are looking backward at your team or your league don't offer the FBG much value. People are busy and they want to swim in the Shark Pool for a quick trip and see what's what, get in and get out quickly for all the latest NFL info. A check of Page 1 and also the Top few pages of the Blogger and they could call it a day.

Please keep this in mind as you post about trades within your leagues.

Thanks.

What's the deal with all of the collusion threads lately?

And to add on, I don't care which of two unrelated players is the one to have from here on out... I don't own either player, so take your thinly veiled thread to the AC Forum where it belongs.

Now I"m confused. According to Shick, the thread "Just Stunned by a Trade in My League" was legit. Are you saying that this type of thread doesn't belong here?

Why is this sad? I don't expect anybody to care about my league. Why would you? So don't expect me to care about yours. Talk to me about the players, not your team and your league.Thanks

Apparently I have walked into a bee's nest. I started the "stunned" thread since I found it interesting and thought others might as well. Thought I was missing something and some posters thought it was a fine trade. Mistake? ok I get it. Wrong Forum? ok. move it.

I emailed Shick to take it down, move it, or whatever. But I am surprised at the drama this has created as well as some of the posters responses both on the boards as well as through pm. Pretty angry folks out there.

I guess I am a bit dissappointed at what this place has turned into. I go back to old yeller. I don't look to establish "board cred" as I think others do a fine job with that. I don't post here that much and it will probably be even less with the general state of affairs.

Have a great season.

My read:This is not specifically about you. You were merely the straw that broke Refrigerator Perry's back.

What are the chances of making a forum like "Help the commish". There seems to be enough running-the-league type questions and plenty of commish-type people to make it worth while. I haven't been around long enough to know how often new forums are created, but it seems like a reasonable idea.

WSIS: Mike Ditka or Chuck Norris?

Is that a mini Ditka? Or a Ditka on roids?I heard Akers can kick Chuck Norris's butt so I would think Ditka vs. Norris would be no contest.As to all the collusion posts I would like to see them merged so I only have to avoid one thread instead of many if that is at all possible then TIA.

That would be correct. I wasn't looking to single out anyone in particular. IIRC, there were 5-7 "is this collusion" or "what do you make of this trade in my league" going at once, all on Page 1.
