there's a Wall of Shame?

where?

nockahoma - Wall of shame is in progressive theme league classified forum page 4

ANY SPOTS LEFT?

the russettes

A few points/questions before everyone hugs it out:

1. The main point: I don't get why dino27 was forced to leave the second league.  It seems like he's being punished for asking out of the first one.  Maybe the thinking is, "If you're sick you should drop all your teams" but clearly dino doesn't want that.  So why make him drop that team?

2. The brouhaha over the add/drop is too funny for me to drop, so let me add: Did the commish really threaten to kick someone out of the league over listing an add before a drop (or vice versa)? 

3. Maybe the Wall of Shame was started for nefarious reasons, I don't know.  But there are certainly owners who deserve mention there.  I'm obviously not talking about owners who leave leagues for health reasons or other real world issues, but owners who are just flat out unreliable, shady, or rude.  Owners who join 5-10 leagues in a month then disappear from the site a few months down the road, then come back with a new alias and do the same thing again.  Owners who bail as soon as it's time to rebuild, and leave their teams without talent or future first rounders while jumping to another prog and a more talented team.  Owners who pitch fits and leave leagues in the middle of drafts over non-issues.  What's more, I've seen "shamed" owners in that thread post apologies/make amends for past misdeeds, so I don't think the thread is without value.

actually there is a reason to get this out for two reasons.   The first is that many people have been bullied by this guy/family support system,and we should allow the others a chance to air their grievances.  The other reason is that nepotism is a bad thing in a place like wis, especially progressives.  Because of their nature, progressives cost a committed owner several hundred dollars.  An average owner  can expect to make the playoffs every three to five years.  family/ close friends can collude to make competition a farce.  we should see what others have to say
