Let me be clear also, I dont disagree with you about rules that I have broken, not intentionally. No excuse, just an explanation, its one of the reasons that I stopped having more than 5 teams, at one point it was 12. I did not pay close enough attention to special teams, and for a long time, I wasnt setting up the special team boxes correctly, it was never an issue until the punt block started happening. Im not a cheat, I have used exploits, but not when they become an issue.

Totally agree that a lot of it should be intrinsic to the game, but thats not going to happen anytime soon. The FCS is an attempt at having a league where compliance is as much voluntary as it is enforced. So far, it has done better than anticipated. There are no 16-0 teams scoring 500 or more points, defense has had the advantage so far, and those who drafted for defense, including myself, are in the POs. I would be more than happy to have someone else in favor of play diversity and use with better management skills take the helm, and am open to that if someone would like to do so. I apologize for my mistakes and transgressions in this game, Ive had more than I should have, it has been a learning experience like most things, Ive never had any problems, differences of opinion, or hatred in any other game Ive played or in RL, its def a new experience. Again, my apology to anyone who feels I have cheated or done wrong in this game, apparently there are more than a few who do not have a problem with how Ive played to date. With that, and with all that has been stated, will go forward and continue to try to do better and improve. The FCS effort is worth the try.

Honestly don’t know how some of you folks have so much time to invest in what should be some light hearted fun.

If you don’t like it fine, move along.

Didn't you create the "Name and Shame" thread to bring owners to light that destroyed teams?

https://fantasy-league.myfootballnow.com/community/2/5686?page=12#36992

You were a league admin who got frustrated and posted about it because bad owners can hurt leagues.

Yes , you know I did , there is a better way to make your point.

This is hardly someone ‘ruining a league’ , especially when the admin that created it has been transparent in what is trying to be achieved here.
Don’t like it? Fine. Move on.

No one has a gun at their head.

Think CJ's issue is not with the league itself but more with who created it.

GDB has admitted to cheating in leagues with custom rules.

Someone who does that over and over even if it's unintentional is a serious issue.

It definatley caused havoc in my XFL league which is in season 29. I've invested a ton of time and effort adding content based on stats & league history.

You of all people should know that being a league admin, putting in work to make it special then having someone do something to destroy a team or create a competitive disadvantage especially in the Conference championship game is bad!

I honestly don't care about FCS and wish it well in its goal but I don't have to listen to someone who cheats repeatedly talk down to me or my leagues because he is having success in season 1 doing it his way.

My comments here finally showed transparency because GDB finally publicly apologized for all the "unintentional" times he cheated in leagues.

I'm all about transparency!

You want to talk about wasting time then take a look at this:

I waste WAY too much time adding content to my leagues in an effort to make it fun!

I definately have my own issues

The problem we have is that GDB is misrepresenting himself as some steward of MFN, protecting us from the evil exploiters who dare to use WRs at RB, when he himself has been a speed exploiter, having rosters full of speed only players with no football skills to speak of.

Nobody is perfect, not me, not CJ, nobody, but we can't sit idly by while some snake oil salesman is peeing down people's backs and telling them it's raining.

Honestly Gus, I think if you were aware of everything we know GDB has done, you'd sing a different tune.
