It&#039;s true, most of what I&#039;ve said or wanted to say has been said more eloquently by people here, however!!!!!1111<br /><br />[quote]Xen aren&#039;t you a board member, you&#039;ve spent more time and posts on personally attacking me in this thread than discussing a real IDL issue.[/quote]<br /><br />Was that meant to be a question or a statement? Grammar indicates the latter. Forgive me for my disgustingly loose grip on the English language! I&#039;ve only been in a cave, after all.<br /><br />You probably shouldn&#039;t talk about things you don&#039;t know about. I guess I&#039;m sounding like a broken record, saying that. I spent maybe all of 5 minutes typing up that post that&#039;s gotten you riled up. I can assure you I&#039;ve spent far over over 100 times that discussing &#039;real IDL issues&#039; on the public boards, IRC and in private mediums with other board members. So really, what do you know?<br /><br />Now that we&#039;ve taken care of that, I skimmed over your latest post so maybe I missed some vital statistical information on the majority of the trades creating more lopsided teams or suggestions to correct the problem(s) you so pointed out is &#039;hurting parity&#039;. However, I did see this:<br /><br />[quote]Personally I might even go a little further and say no trades till week 3.[/quote]<br /><br />To which I reply, after which point, what rules and regulations should change to reflect a more equal opportunity environment to prevent &#039;abuse and bad deals&#039;? You noted that you read the rules regarding trading and you do not really understand them.<br /><br />However, I also must bring into light that you had ignored the majority of my post and am willing to bring up two snippets from two of my previous posts in this thread to help clarify the issue on rules regarding trading:<br /><br />[quote=&quot;me&quot;][...]the rules that are being addressed, resolved, and clarified to a far greater degree than they are now, and will be done in time for next season, of this I guarantee.[/quote]<br />[quote=&quot;me&quot;]I will tell Mass to paste the typed up revised set of trade rules (if he has typed it up) in this thread as I don&#039;t have them on hand, and perhaps we can discuss those.[/quote]<br /><br />Which, if I have to spell it out, declares that there will be and currently exists a set of revisions to trading that the IDL board has voted on and passed. When the renovations to the new website are complete, the content on the rules page there will reflect it. <br /><br />In the meantime...<br /><br />[quote]I know I sometimes put myself out there but I only toss out ideas because they need discussion.[/quote]<br /><br />Please elaborate on the idea (non-plural, unless again I&#039;ve missed something else you&#039;ve said in this thread that constitutes the word &#039;idea&#039;) you have put forth so far in greater detail! I&#039;d like to hear opinions on any possible revisions to the trading rules (clarity notwithstanding) that anyone thinks might be worth looking at. We&#039;re still in the off-season, which makes it a ripe time for rule adjustments if of course they are needed!
