To the people of BBB #6, Bort is currently floating a couple of ideas to help parity in the lower leagues and keep higher level players from playing spoiler in playoff runs. Now there is a BBB owner trying to invoke paranoia by misreading what Bort has said. His thread is here: http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=261794
Please, take a look at the two threads in there, read the actual statements Bort is making, and bring some sense into the guy's thread. I'm not asking you to agree with Bort's proposals, but I know we have some intelligent people here who can point out the problems with fear-mongering like this and help me to explain the true issues being discussed.

I have to disagree with it. Signing players comes down to owners being active and contending to sign a athlete. If that owner can sign that person they should be penalized for where they would like to go. Everyone has a chance to sign this person. There are teams in this league that are TOO DEEP but they took those people off the market so the competition doesnt get them. My team has a great record and people have turned down starting roles for me to play 3rd string on another team for money. It is what it is. The owner just needs to be active thats all.

Well, it isn't trying to keep people from signing good players, the idea is to keep high level players who just want to smash newbs from joining weaker teams and ruining the standings in a league. Also, he mentioned that such a restriction would also probably be lessened during the offseason. like I said though, I wasn't trying to get everyone to support the changes, I just wanted people to go in there and breathe some sense into the conversation, whichever side of things they are on, instead of letting it get filled by Xeef and his sensationalism and paranoia. It frustrated me to see him trying to panic everyone by reporting half-correct or completely misinterpreted statements, since he didn't seem to have actually read the statements that Bort made.

Finally! Somebody else is acting on this!

I've been posting in some of xeef's forums about how he's totally misinterpretting the message. I can understand people disagreeing with Bort, but disagree to what Bort says and not what xeef says Bort says.
