I completely agree that boosting and using CE in Pee Wees is ridiculous, and you're welcome to add my Pee Wee Hermans to the list. However, I doubt I'll be fielding a competitive team next season, so there's no chance any of the human players on my squad will boost or use CE.

Have only had my PeeWee for 3 seasons.
Problem I see are the different groups players that come to the PeeWee's.
One group builds a player just for one season in PeeWee then retires them. They aren't looking for any long term commitment to any team after PeeWee and often never add even the basic equipment pieces to their player. Usually they go inactive for weeks at a time and lose training points.
The second group are the sl.....o....w builders who never boost or add CE. Maybe 10 seasons done the road they do gain something over the players that do buy equipment and/or boost. They usually fall behind their peers quickly and disappear for days at a time too.
The third group usually comes from the more committed agents/players who look to continue on with other teams after Pee Wee. They usually add CE, special (advanced) equipment & boost pimarily to maximize the player's skills for the future. Of the 3 groups, these players are almost always active & have their training up to date.
Unfortunately, when signing PeeWee players, you just don't know which type of player you are signing unless you know the agent involved. Even then it's not always a certainty.
For the first two groups, equipment fund money alloted often goes unused. And unfortunately for Pee Wee, you can't take it with you (team) for the next season.
I'd rather see new players be required to add full equipment and boost +3 immediately so I know they have some commitment to the game. If they aren't interested enough to participate in a team, go join a development league.
Having been a team owner since season 2 and had hundreds of players cycle thru my teams, I'm using the Pee Wees as a means to find good agents & future players so with the present rules, I'd find it difficult to say that I'd commit to players who don't make the best of themselves during their first season.
Again, maybe with all the system & rule changes coming next season, that could change.
You forgot about the 4th type: committed and knowledgeable agents that boost, and CE and/or AE, and active in their training and player building. Yet they are creating one and done PW players and knowingly invest the time and flex into building great dots for one season. I think this is where the majority of the agents on the better teams fall.

I think people will all be sensible about this, because not being sensible would just be so.... senseless.
Not to Burst your bubble But if you think a Black list doesn't fall under Harassment you may need to check with Support. And Second who would care if they where on this list in the first place.

I am not harassing someone by refusing them the honor of making a player on my team, nor is it not within my right to make public my negative experience with an agent, and if people then conclude that they too would choose to refuse this agent this honor it is their right.
And to be perfectly honest, all you are trying to do, is just that... burst my bubble.

I'm one of the owners that just has the funds to boost/CE my own players and I have encouraged my agents to flex boost at playoff time. But I agree with the general principle here and, hell, chicks dig principles...
