BOTH. You?Do you like men or women more?
Since we are asking questions that shouldn't be asked in the SP.
Right, just randomly curious about the relative rankings of two specific RB's in a 1 PPR league going into week 2.andyk803 said:oh. I wasn't looking for a trade advice. Just curious to see who head who ranked higher, but ok.

Just flipped a coin. But since this is the wrong forum I can't disclose the result.Leroy Hoard said:So close its almost a coin flip for me.

...and some bad karma to go with it. Enjoy!As a Calvin owner I am looking forward to more Joique Bell and Reggie on IR

Let's all pretend for a moment that you're not full of ####. The problem remains that this thread is indistinguishable from the kind where OP really is just trying to get help managing his magic football team. So this kind of thread still doesn't belong in the Shark Pool, because even if we pretend that's not what you're doing here, it looks exactly like the kind of thread where that is what OP is doing. So our options as a community are to either allow both kinds of threads, or disallow both. Now, like I said, you may not be aware since you're new here, but the decision that was made years ago was to not allow these kinds of threads in the Shark Pool, and instead create a special forum which is specifically devoted to these kinds of questions. I hope that helps clear up your confusion.SMH with a side of BS.andyk803 said:oh. I wasn't looking for a trade advice. Just curious to see who head who ranked higher, but ok.
No
I agree that there's certainly some gray area in general. "Who would you rather have in a 1 pt PPR league, Reggie Bush or Matt Forte?" does not fall into that gray area, however. This is exactly the kind of topic the ACF was designed for.The more we have these discussions, the less and less I understand what exactly IS allowed to be discussed here.
We all come here to the Shark Pool looking for some insight into how to manage our fantasy football teams. Very few, if any, people are coming in here to discuss the relative merits of one player over the other for purely academic purposes. If you're involved in a discussion, you're likely vested in that player/team/discussion in some way with your fantasy team(s).
Yes, there's a specific forum for "Who do I start between X and Y?" and "I have an offer for W for Z...what do you think of that value given my league scoring shown below?"
But really...there's a pretty hazy line on what would actually qualify for meaningful discussion in this forum between people who want to improve their teams and an individual wanting a specific answer to set their lineup for that week.
The Gestapo can take it easy a bit. If you want meaningful forum activity, you're going to have some grey areas. Or maybe they would rather have the Shark Pool turn into a tepid cesspool with no circulation, with 3-week-old threads on the first page.
I dunno.
OP was kind enough to mention he's in a PPR league, so you can provide him more specific advice about how to manage his team. Oh wait, that's not what he's doing (wink wink), he just randomly thought it would be fun and interesting to discuss Bush vs Forte rest of season value going into week 2 in a 1 PPR league.But back to the Bush vs. Forte overall issue? The answer depends on individual scoring systems
No assumptions are needed to come to the conclusion that this isn't a shark pool thread.Thanks to those who were actually helpful and didn't assume things. It was a simple question, yet people here over reacted and assume things.
"Thanks to those who were actually helpful..." He's not even trying to pretend this wasn't a self-serving attempt to get help managing his team. That comment says it all - this wasn't a general topic meant to start an interesting and relevant discussion. OP needed strangers to help him decide on a trade offer or whatever, a few people gave him opinions, and he thanked them for their help.No assumptions are needed to come to the conclusion that this isn't a shark pool thread.Thanks to those who were actually helpful and didn't assume things.

It's really a shame that it's gotten to the point that we're the ones that are out of line for pointing out the only rule that was (at least at one time) considered so important to the health of the Shark Pool that it is literally posted right at the top of the forum.
