Sarlet, can we officially protest these actions?

The best way to protest this is to fervently support Bort's idea of a level cap here:

Right now the overwhelming sentiment is against that idea, especially from BBB league owners because they feel that it'll be unfair to them. If you use the specific example of Richmond it will do two things: help convince them that it's a good idea, and more importantly, shed even more light onto the doings of this owner.

bah i have been complaining protesting whatever for a month now tha ta team of banned players should not have been allowed to continue playing games. the response i got was basically nothing was going to be done about it because they were a team of "high level cpus" at that point and they felt that the team would ditch at some point. no need to worry or punish any further because they were going to fail anyway. next thing you know the team continues its parade of unethical behavior. cheatanooga gets a meaningless penalty of fake money, richmond can play with then trade banned players. neither of these situation escaped the admins notice because they were notified and responded to pm's and numerous forum threads. i am tired of beating a dead horse here and getting no where. no offense to the mods and admins who are honestly trying, but i think by and large they have given up on running the bad eggs off the site...except of course the referral schemers which interrupt the revenue stream and then only so far as to stop the referral scheme but not the players themselves.

To be honest, I don't think a cap level is a very good idea at all. I don't think it is unfair that other teams are better than mine, I thought sports was about being as good as possible. And I look at this in a longer perspective than a few seasons, and the BBB teams would be seriously handicapped against the higher leagues if a cap was introduced. There are other, much better ways to fix this problem. For instance:

Promote and relegate the top 4 teams for each division (conference finalists).

Change the current contract setup, they should only end in the offseason. This will remove the opportunity for someone to stockpile talent just before the playoffs and should also add some realism.

just my 2 cents

The problem with Richmond Speed is in my opinion not what they are doing now, that is within the rules (how unethical it might be). It is what they did at the start of the season that was pure cheating.

But what is even worse is the total lack of action against the Speed team. I wrote a PM about this after game 2 to Bort, and got an answer from DD that it should be taken care of, yet nothing happened. Ok, many of their players were banned, but they should have been deleted and the owner should have lost his team. Every game should have been turned to a loss and the team should have been sold to a new owner.

those are good ideas. however even though i support some kind of a level cap i believe that all of the problems we have encountered in this league could have been resolved without any rules changes. it is simple - if the admins encounter a cheat, unethical behavior, a player exploiting a loophole to the detriment of the game all they had to do was take decisive action. poof you are banned, your players are dropped from any team they were on, a banned owner loses their team. no research needed, polls taken, forum threads looking for input to be added. just a decision - does glb care about people following the game rules or more importantly following its own stated terms of use policy regarding player conduct or not? you wouldnt have to make the bans permanent even, just through the end of the season. if every situation involving unsportsmanlike conduct were handle this way quickly and decisively from the start we would have far less of a problem with it at this point. unfortunately i see too much placating of virtual glb terrorists and/or indifference to believe that this will happen any time soon either. er ah wait whats this in my inbox...a pm from the admins...it says "Dissent will not be tolerated. You have been critical of the GLB administration and therefore you have been"

its funny because those were my two suggesting on i think the first page or two of borts thread. or maybe it was in another related thread besides that one, but i know i stated that solution as soon as i saw the discussion starting on a level cap

Done although I doubt anything will be done, sorry.

i wish they'd implement the contracts ending at the end of the season idea...cuz im on the waiting list, and i want at least a couple of my guys to start the season on my team, but their contracts end in the middle of the season, and the owners dont feel like giving up starters before they have 2..

The Lighthouses are ready to put an end to their losing streak!

If they changed it, it should be the other way around. That your contract is extended through the full season. However, if its implemented it should only be for new contracts. A signed contract shouldn't be changed in my opinion.

haha, brokebacks get their first victory!!! first of many to come..........
