And for what it's worth, I don't want anybody to feel like they're being victimised here. The "post quantity" debate is one of the most cyclical discussions in the league. Spam, inactivity... it's as inevitable a regular heated discussion as all-SFA discussion.
Good post.Antonio, it's not personal on you and I think you know that, we get on well.
There has to come a point though where your captain canvasses for engagement, whether it's for rookies or others and ask, who are people engaging with when they post in the hundreds? There'd need to consistently be multiple people posting in the hundreds from different clubs to achieve true engagement and even that is far too exclusive to be any form of fun for the majority.
As a long time captain in this league the one challenge we have with rookies is keeping them engaged, part of the talk when first off they are nervous and trying to find a voice and secondly aren't aware of the in jokes and characters in the league. The absolute worst thing we can present to them is one sided walls of posts where even long term posters just can't be bothered trying to find a gap to banter. Now I'm noticing it's not just rookies struggling with this, it's the casuals that are leaving, the old timers leaving because it's just too much to bother with.
Clubs have team threads and PM's where they can go nuts talking and talking among themselves. I hate the term spam so if there is a member of the Bombers, or any other club, that engages freely in "mass posting" that can present a scenario where random ramblings and people posting hundreds of posts is beneficial to the Sweet FA, to the retention of its players (not their players, the leagues players) or is a display of actual engagement with the vast majority of those hundreds of individual posts hitting their target or adding to an ongoing repartee with THE OPPOSITION then I'll gladly concede.
If not, then I hope, heading into this next off season, we can find a way to all meet in the middle - don't glorify one poster because they posted more than four clubs all up... help those four ****ing clubs to engage more. Restraint, rapport, repartee. Help people be their best poster, not their most and help everybody reach similar heights so this league thrives long into the future. It's far too good a community to lose carelessly.

WOW ....someone has had his ego damaged in a fake football league .....you coninually bring up your achievements in a fantasy league .....Filthy who gives a **** mate .....if this is your only accomplishment in life, thats so sadHere's a novel idea, maybe don't get too offended about a cracked joke made at somebody else and not at you.
Here's an even more novel idea... this league has been thriving long before you were here so your "revolution" is an unsound strategy. In fact, there's been a downturn over the last few seasons and I would not be surprised if a lot of that was people actually trying to engage, like you've requested, but find that impossible against people that feel the need to post 200 times across five days, for four months solid. You're worried about retention of rookies... big deal. That's a small number. I'm worried about retention of everybody.
People should be allowed to have fun but they need to be able to cop it, as should their precious captains, when everybody else turns around and says no cockos, this ain't fun for us.
Frankly mate you're the most blinkered bloke in this entire league - it's not the BFA. There's 11 other clubs. ****ing listen to them for once. If it isn't your tantrum yesterday because nobody agrees with on who you think is the best rookie in the league it's garbage like this.
I donāt think I would like you if you were still a Furie.Itās a debate thatās been going on as long as Iāve been here.
Iāve even been accused of being too spammy in my early years, though that was more directed at the Furies.
Your both weirdo's?Good post.
We do get along well, Filth, thereās a reason for that.
Mobbs, whatās a DUB-LX2?I want lots of people to feel like they're being victimised here!

I have no idea. I'm away from home stuck on a phone and the app keeps appending it to every post.Mobbs, whatās a DUB-LX2?

Can't fight your own battles Filthy .....hope you can display a monicum of intelligence in this discussion .....so far you've simply fired from the hip, without any thought of facts
What a load of crap ....even worse, i acually think you believe his crapAntonio, it's not personal on you and I think you know that, we get on well.

Can you debate at all ......guess notAnother baseless post, interfering in a conversation between two other people. If you chose to hold back and not make yourself look stupider maybe you could enquire and be informed that Noobz0r loves it when I fire up. Nothing more, nothing less.
Will you ever learn?
Also lol... monicum of intelligence. Can't write this stuff (well, you can't).
One correction mate, according to the metrics of the very knowledgeable waynes world. We are actually the ninth ranked posting team not the shittest.What a load of crap ....even worse, i acually think you believe his crap
There are 6 match threads per week ....only one involving the Bombers ....so the other 5 matchs have free air ....but you're trying to blame the poor posting in most threads on us
Your team, the one, your experience and "living your mantra" is the shittiest team in the league .....everyone has been complaining about the BORING threads .....your team couldn't even reach 100 posts on 4 occassions .....and you're preaching to the rest of the League on the vibrancy of the League ....joke
BTW since you hate us so much ....your two biggest posting matchs as a team was ....yeah you guessed it, thee Bombers .....and guess what, your poster numbers were up there with the best you've had this season
So you argument is all crap and full of bias
Impressive resume .....means sweet FA .....but obviously this is important for your self esteem ....carry onWow, talk about a damaged ego.
You pretty much presented my counter argument in your post... "a fantasy league". Just like I assume your gimmick is being an illiterate bucket of old boots mine is taking the piss out of things that are otherwise meaningless in the real world. Spoiler alert - my "famous low self esteem" is also make believe. The nWo was fake. So was the second one. My tribunal as admin was all pre-determined. You've literally honed in on the one person that has spent the most time promoting the fantasy and theatre of the Sweet FA.
When you're taking it all too seriously it's time to turn off your computer and have some air.
KP ...there's posting numbers & then there's shitty .....your backend of the season threads were horrid ....save for our encounterOne correction mate, according to the metrics of the very knowledgeable waynes world. We are actually the ninth ranked posting team not the shittest.
Ta.
Can you debate at all ......guess not
Your approach is that of a young buck, who simply throws insults out, hoping that impresses someone ......but Filthy, I know you better than you think .....and you know zero about me
Why are you worrying about whatās being posted in match threads that youāre not involved in?KP ...there's posting numbers & then there's shitty .....your backend of the season threads were horrid ....save for our encounter
