BuzzerBeater Forums

if the facts really happened the way OP posted, it looks like the situation was handled poorly

i think the fairest solution would be to inform the scout that manager XXX is reporting him for spam(*) and to only fine the scout if he doesn't comply and keep messaging him

(*) of course this ideally would be dealt directly between the 2 managers, not wasting GM time with the spam reporting

So it’s only cut and dry when GMs decide the rules are such or else you choose when it fits your narrative to not enforce them. Got it. 👍🏼

@ khenry:
Other GMs may disagree with me on that point, but I think some communication is better than no communication. Again, especially for rules that are not about money transfer or multi-accounting where abusing it is not a big damage to other teams.

In order to avoid confusion, all GMs should either follow the rules or not. If one or more allow grey areas then this could lead to users such as myself seeing an excuse to discuss GM decisions in the past, with which they may have disagreed. I won't though; I'll follow the rules, even though I disagree with them.

If you, Perpete, would like to make a suggestion that the rule in question be altered, I would wholeheartedly support this. Otherwise, it should be followed by all.
