Could always just use a messenger. If heads are not going to budge. As in Ulti can just PM someone who is reliable in this and have that person post his picks him for him.

I mean I get it. Ulti was/is? an insufferable twit sometimes. I understand not wanting to see his shit. At the same time, this is just a for funsies pick em' league.

If people don't want to socialize with me, I understand that even if it's disheartening sometimes. I made some big pretty dumb mistakes a long (very long) time ago.

Banning an original from the picks league he created with a friend, that was inclusive from day one, without good reason borders on harassment and puts this at risk of breaking site ToU. That kind of stuff does not belong here and it's drama I'm actively trying to avoid. For an example of the difference, Lefty banning Moonroof from SMFFFC happened because of documented rule breaking in the actual contest itself. There are plenty of people I'm sure he doesn't like personally that still participate because it would create a huge rules lawyering problem otherwise.

Unblock him, record his picks, reblock him.

That isn't even needed and blocking prevents picks from being submitted. You can ignore someone without blocking them; there are two separate lists. You can just record picks without ever having to read things elsewhere, and I'm barely anywhere else anyway so I'm not some hard guy to avoid. It's what... sports, mafia, contest stats, and SMFFFC threads and that's it? It isn't some difficult ask unless someone wants to be unpleasant for no reason, which is clearly what's going on here. Almost everyone that's unblocked and participated in the SMFFFC stuff with me would agree with this.

I could just take this over again myself, but I really don't want to resort to that type of high school drama cliq nonsense when people could choose to be mature adults instead. Given most people on here are pushing 40, "mature adult" should not be some difficult thing.

With all due respect, as the person who ran this league for a decade and is the reason why B8 has a pick em league in the first place, I don't appreciate this rule.

4) I am no longer allowing anyone with an acct on my block list to participate. Tough, ulti. Go make your own if you care so much. I don't want to unblock people or have to log out of my own acct just to see posts. Them's the breaks.

This is harassment and exclusionary in a venue that in no way calls for it. If you want to dislike me personally that's fine, but this is not the topic for it. More importantly, this league is not yours. It belongs to the entire board and everyone is welcome. Raven 2 and I started this and that's been the very inclusive message from day one.

I (and I imagine others once they see this) am asking you civilly to please be an adult and not do this sort of thing for one project per year, and in no way am I alone in feeling this is very unfair behavior. You do a fantastic job running things, and I really don't want to resort to making you feel the way I do right now. This is absolutely not ok, dude.
