Freeloading commissioners Topic

I'm sure this has been suggested at some point, but I'd like to put it out there again. Commissioners shouldn't get 5 dollars discounted per season simply by having the commissioner tag. They should get a results-based discount.

Honestly, what good is a commissioner doing if he doesn't fill a spot where someone's gone AWOL for 2 months of a season?

What good is a commissioner who solely relies on going public to fill the world?

Those are the 2 minimum job requirements you'd think, right? So why not hold off on the discount if they can't fill the world without going public or if a player is gone for a month?

it's $5 my friend...relax...and please don't say it's not the money but the principle...either way...i could care less...i have only played for 2 commissioners (randallball and miket) and they are the best in the game so they deserve the discount...and then some...

My point is more to the fact that people take on the responsibility of commissioner for the discount and then let the world turn to garbage. They won't turn over commissioner duties to someone who is willing to do a better job simply because of a 5 dollar discount.

I agree that every active commissioner deserves the discount and likely more than they're getting. But how can we encourage commissioners that do nothing to be more like the 2 you listed?

Am I reading this correctly?! Spudspammer is saying we WANT people to act more like MikeT?!? Sounds like someone is trying to suck up...

I concur. No need to hang around with those who ruin your enjoyment of the game.

And the $5 credit is hardly WifS most ridiculous use of credits.

Mike's an active owner. He's an *******, but I'd prefer more owners be active like him than inactive and let the world's go to crap.

What if you want to take over a world and turn it into a good one? You can't, because the commishes are incentivized to stay and do nothing.

So find another world.

Some people are more fun to be in the sandbox with than others. If you don't like the guy who has the keys to the sandbox, you can either STFU and go along or GTFO and find a better sandbox.

I think people should just leave the world if they don't like the commish ... Cause if the commish is waiting 2 months to fill an abandoned team that world must really blow.
