I can't speak for everyone here, Wagner, but I seriously think simpler is better.
I will also take this opportunity to again thank you for your time and effort, but ask you consider everyone's thoughts and feelings on this.
We should also wait to hear from others. Mine and Gccsteel are but two voices.
Your opinion is certainly noted and appreciated, thank you.
I do also want to thank you for the time and effort you've put into this, and hopefully will keep doing so in the future as well.
I do agree we should hear from the others too. Like I mentioned, with a risk of repeat as it's such a critical issue, we should establish some baselines for this in the future (do not need to decide it now; I have some suggestions about that in mind - polls open for 14 days in the newly established forum, etc., but more on those later) to ease the process of for example making decisions on some aspects concerning the home grown league, and make it possible to get some decisions out in a certain time frame.
For instance, I don't want to jump into any conclusions, but you were asking from our community in one of your posts, that would managers back up your suggestion of me becoming a league Commissioner for the first season of league, and I also "quoted" your question in maybe 1-2 of my posts to get some response. What we´ve got is 0 response so far. You read right: 0.
And we're living quite critical time in terms of finalizing the work and getting the league started next season. (I've done some of the work in the background just in case already though, so many parts of it such as new forum thread text is practically almost ready, should I get the "official approval" to be Commissioner from our community).
Should I make some conclusions from that? I wouldn't prefer, as I'd like a direct approach in where people state their opinion, whatever it is. I'm not going to attack anyones' opinion, as long as they treat me with respect. I also consider being patient, and do expect people having good intentions in their communication. It's totally OK to be direct with me in communication, so please don't hesitate on that.
I haven't felt the need to write some "election speech"-type of stuff in order to convince people that I'm in this seriously. My direct approach is maybe not everyones' favorite approach, but at least it should keep table relatively clean, especially as people always keep in mind that I do not have any intention or need to attack anyones' opinion by being direct in my communication, but I instead appreciate different opinions. It is necessary for all to remember that we don't need to agree on everything (it would be impossible anyway...), and still can make it work, and make it work big time.
Also, in stating an opinion there's a challenge if one voices their opinion without giving any grounds as to why they think like it, we could never know which aspects they have even considered (or read all the stuff that has been written in forums and taken that into account when forming opinions, or did they just flip a coin). That downside is especially emphasized if we only receive few opinions (instead of opinions of 14 managers).
What I also consider problematic in deciding what people think/would vote is 'if they don't say anything, take it as a silent yes'-approach. While it's sometimes maybe necessary approach, it also does have major risks built in it, causing especially challenges in manager commitment levels if they in reality don't agree with decisions.
So we still have 10 out of 14 managers that haven't voiced their opinion on this rule set/penalties-issue (after new suggestion has been sent to forum on this Tuesday) - please do, as we do not have all that much time to finalize all aspects concerning the league starting next season.
