"Selection" Discussions
Posted: Wed Feb 08, 2012 8:51 pm
We've received a number of private comments about the number of threads that are descending into team "selection" "debates", and how it's affecting the tone and usefulness of the boards. Specifically, how these are becoming the same opinions rehashed over and over again.
Here's how we're going to deal with it.
1. Think before you post - if you've made the same argument before, think very carefully before making it again. Try to make new points instead.
2. Selection matters should be kept to their own threads, so that those who want to ignore them can easily do so. Which means: match threads are about the team's performance in that match, not about how much better the side would've done if Bandwagon Player A had been selected. You want to argue about the selection, take it to a selection thread.
3. If, in Admins' opinion, threads are showing signs of being hijacked by selection posts, we reserve the right to delete the relevant posts.
For the record, at time of posting there were active "A Series - Who would you choose?" and "Drop Kyle Jarvis" threads - these are fine, as they're easily identifiable as selection discussions.
This is not up for discussion.
