They might get the mistaken impression you were correct otherwise.
Yello1 I am finished arguing with you. everytime I do I get threatened with a ban or some other crap where you or someone is whining to a Mod. so like I have asked you just before just ignore what I post and move onto someone else that actually cares what you think.

sadly yes everytime I have tried to debate or argue with yello1. I end up getting a warning from a Mod. I was joking around and bought a team and named it after Yello1 and the next day the name gets changed and I am told by a Mod that someone complained. (wonder who that could have been?) then a week or so ago I get a PM from a Mod telling me I need to stop calling Yello1 a name in the suggestions forum. (again I wonder who whined about that?) and then yesterday and today I spoke through PMs with yet another Mod over me calling Yello1 a name. (again wonder who went and whined)

First pretty much everyone knows that Bort isn't going to give us any type of monetary reward for owning teams. it is our decision to be a team owner. we aren't doing Bort a favor by owning teams. we own teams because we want to. so the theory that we as owners need rewarding for helping GLB house all the players is a load of bull. no one makes you own teams that is your decision so why should you get a reward for doing what you wanted to do.
secondly adding stuff like the luxury sweets and the other stuff you mentioned only hurts the game. everyone makes these suggestions wanting more and more thinking it is going to level the playing field. yet each time something like this is implemented it only makes the good teams better and the bad teams worse. essentially longstanding teams stay together a longtime because the win. and those same teams really do not need any extra help in that department. so by giving them extra seats and so on. that basically buys them 1 or 2 more premium promotions each season. so instead of your ideas helping you make things worse simply because you have widened the gap between the good teams and the bad teams.
No one in the game thinks there should be a reward for crappy teams except for crappy team owners. this isn't the special Olympics where you get a ribbon just for competing. a added reward should only go to teams that work and try to make the team the best it can be. as team owners we aren't doing Bort a favor by just owning a team. that is part of the problem to many team owners that don't know how to win or just do not care. so why reward them for not doing anything.
Personally... I owned my team from season 2.... then dropped it... and have come back now and restarted again...
BUT... my opinion is for the guys who have stuck around long term.... bought their teams... which by the way is fun, but also a hell of a hassle...
The guys who have owned their teams long-term should get an actual Flex reward for being the vessel that drives this game... its not dots that drive it, but committed owners who have to get a team of people together and then worry about dots.
In spite of the constant "Borts" of every season.. the I-Slams, the change of sim from season to season (game to game too) and God-knows other spanners in the works... For that alone there should be an award for recognition as you are A LOYAL LONG TERM CUSTOMER....
Yes folks.. those kind of people get premium service, freebies, etc in any other kind of business...
-1 on cosmetic trophies... too many lolGm, lolTourney, LolDpride-esque trophies already that are purely an eyesore.... the days where "dots" cared about your history as a team are gone...the LolTrophies from guys who are GM's of 200 teams etc. are just pathetic.. and nobody even cares about whether you have 300 trophies beside your name as most can be from a team where you dont have a dot, and dont do anything....

LOL... the irony is that this entire paragraph illustrates that you are perhaps borderline delusional.... you have not gotten a warning etc from a Mod because you tried to debate or argue with someone...
but rather:
Its because you named a team after someone in a derogatory way...
You called him names in a suggestion forum....
You called him a name...
Now .. do you really need a Mod to explain to you about being an overall dick or troll.. or how to have a bit of class, sometimes?
Look.. I get it.. you dont like the guy and his suggestions... great... but why keep insistently responding or reading them, then? why bother writing paragraph after endless paragraph about them? Just discuss, say your point and move on..
or <GASP> Try just ignoring it.... then you wont get warned or banned "because of others".....

have you ever tried knowing the whole story on anything before adding your 2 cents? I wish everything was as 1 sided as you try to imply but sadly you are a bit off there. I tried to be civil and I tried to actually have discussions with the guy. but when I did I was called names and talked to in a derogatory manner. then as soon as I turn it around and do the same thing to him. I start getting warnings. I admit the naming of the team even though funny shouldn't have happened. but the rest was just doing the same exact thing he was doing. so maybe before you go preaching at someone you should take the time to actually make sure you know the whole story.

Thats Hatchman for yea. He calls out others because his opinion ALWAYS differs from everyone on this site.
This suggestion is great IMO! We're not the enemy Hatch, GLB is.

Venge atleast I do try to discuss things with you in a civil manner. unlike yourself who sends those nasty little temper tantrums then PM blocks someone before they can respond. but best of luck to you and your ongoing war with GLB and catch22.
Funny thing is I never said anyone was the enemy all I ever said to you was that if you tried being nicer to catch and the rest of the people on GLB you would get better results from your posts. you are the one that takes that as I am against you. but whatever floats your boat man.
I like the idea that something some come from it. I always have the intentions of seeing it through for many seasons, but I always get bored with it or experience some other version of ADD. Therefore, I believe it is quite an accomplishment that some of these owners have lasted for so long, and I believe they deserve something at some points along the way.
