If someone is interested in your player they will prolly send you a BB-mail.
Is posting player skills in forum forbidden? To my knowledge you can not link players that are transfer listed. You can post your whole teams skills if you want to as long as they are not transfer listed.
You could write: I'm interested in selling my player [player=blablabla] waiting for offers via BB-mail. Or you could just list your player for a reasonable price (or a bit below it if you are unsure of his value).
There is no need to spam anyone. I'm going to say it once more, if the price is right -> player will always be sold.

This is exactly what is intended as spam,and who try to do this,in any kind of internal BB forum,will see closed and cancelled the post or the thread
You can post the skills of your players in the forums only if you're asking some help for improving your team,or have to respond to some users question,but surely not for advertising your players(otherwise would be a non-sense decision to close one transfer thread,to open other hundreds of them)

You are pushing too many if's into the equation now. If server was down, if there are 2 bidders, if you listed him in bad transfer time.
It does not matter. If there is a player I want, listed in the middle of the night (for me) I will set an alarm clock and buy him in the middle of the night. If you have a player that is worth about 4mil. Would you list him @ 6mil? That is the question. Anyone going for a great player sale will always try to aim for that "most users online" time. Yes players have different value depending on sale time, regular season faze etc. Fact still remains that when you have listed your player 3+ times, you should doubt your players worth (perhaps reconsider the selling price), at the moment you can keep listing until some misfortunate or unexperienced manager makes a mistake. This tax would help discourage constant high listing behavior.

If you truly do not know how much your player is worth, before listing him - instead of spamming - you could 1) use the estimate (if it's n/a then search for similar players on TL), if you can't find any similar players write in the help thread, post the skills and ask how much he could be worth.

That's right,but this doesn't mean you should punish him.That's the point that we're trying to explain you.If you find something strange,you have only to call a GM

"the estimate price tool" doesn't work well or doesn't work at all,as almost everyone see and as always BBs admitted(one of their goals should be to improve it very much)
The assesments thread were closed in the help forums,for the same reasons of the transfer threads;nowadaysif you ask the value of a player in a public forum the post will be deleted,you could only hope that a samaritan will see the post and will answer you with a BB-Mail,but there are very few holy people that do it :D

I'm trying to get you to understand my point. This tax would discourage those people from listing too high - thus preventing potential abuse of newcomer or unexperienced managers. There are certain managers constantly using this strategy. A lot of the listings and transfers go unnoticed. That is what I think should be changed. It does not root out the problem totally, but it's a step in the right direction. As I said before paying that tax once or twice per player is not a problem. Paying it 10 times will make an impact.
Taxing could even start at the players third listing (by the same team) but it would probably make it more complicated.

and you put also if in it, you just don't name then - you just view the case that there are always two or more players who are interested on a player and have time and enough money to lead to the fair price and this case isn't always happen.

And also the BB use the IF you list him to a price you like to sell him case, if the transferlist is down this don't happen regulary but always unespected. So what do you want to make with them, if they are forced to sell them for 1 buck, because else you pay to high taxes?

It does not matter. If there is a player I want, listed in the middle of the night (for me) I will set an alarm clock and buy him in the middle of the night.


but 95% of the people don't do it, and even the rest(5%) will look if they get a similiar player on a better time first. So this maybe work for special player, not for all.

If you have a player that is worth about 4mil. Would you list him @ 6mil? That is the question. Anyone going for a great player sale will always try to aim for that "most users online" time.


if all people live for buzzerbeater maybe thats right, but some people maybe play it just one hour when they have time and not with an alarm clock or in there rare breaks.

Fact still remains that when you have listed your player 3+ times, you should doubt your players worth (perhaps reconsider the selling price)


or that you need a bit of patient, top get the same price like the others who are lucky.

This tax would help discourage constant high listing behavior.


which brings you nothing

I understand your point,but I say that your strategy to solve the problem howewer will not solve it,because there will be also some unexperienced player which make some mistake on the market,and some managers will gain money form it,but trying to do a commendable thing,you will punish all the honest managers in the game(and also they'd like to have the better posible income for their players,so don't blame on it ;D)

I explained one of the reasons we moved to the new system and are exploring improvements.

We feel that the GM time is better served attending to more important issues.

I'm actually talking about managers that fish for that one bid. Once again, if you have a reasonable price you will get more than one bid - thus unstable server will not be a problem. Comon 1% tax will not force anyone to sell at 1 buck.
but 95% of the people don't do it, and even the rest(5%) will look if they get a similiar player on a better time first. So this maybe work for special player, not for all.

List the player for a reasonable price for that timeframe and the player will be sold. Completely pointless remark.
if all people live for buzzerbeater maybe thats right, but some people maybe play it just one hour when they have time and not with an alarm clock or in there rare breaks.

So if you play for one hour a day you would rather list @ 6mil? If you can't aim for the sweetest sale time, you should set a price that is reasonable for that timeframe.
or that you need a bit of patient, top get the same price like the others who are lucky.

It's not luck it's fishing for more money for less value.

correction: which brings us fair game and new user friendly community.

"If you can't aim for the sweetest sale time, you should set a price that is reasonable for that timeframe."

So you are saying that if someone isn't able to be online during the 'sweetest' sale time then they should list at a lower price and risk losing potential profit? I don't think that is fair.
