You have 11 balls now, that's almost 3 times as good :D

I am starting to agree with the people who said that this just encourages people to post. You just have to look at Naker. While he does give good advice from time to time, I do find what he says to be hit and miss. Yet because he posts so often, he is almost certainly going to lead the ball race from now into the foreseeable future.

Although, it is nice to see someone with so much enthusiasm. So I guess it is all good.

(PS Just to be fair: you could just as easily swap my name for Naker's and this post would still be true!)

I agree with your assessment of Naker, but he was posting on Every. Single. Thread. even before the new rating system came out, so I don't think this has increased his post frequency as much as one may think. Of course I don't have data to back that up, though. :-)

This is half a Pro Naker vs Against Naker thread.

I'm very much a fan of the new system. Well done to those who thought of the idea!

Most pieces of advice by everyone are opinions. So while you feel the advice might be a "miss", someone else might think it is a "hit". My point is that I am just offering an opinion on what I think is a good way to go and what has worked for me and allowed me to make my way to div 2. No one has to follow the advice given :)

I'd prefer the "decider" but Charles already took that

Well, unless you say something like: "in my opinion" or "do not take this as fact", many new users might actually believe what you are saying is the absolute truth. Your high number of balls may only compound the situation.

I go back to a particular example from the help forum that still bothers me:

Yeah I am just training stamina and free throws until the draft.
I just sold a trainee a few weeks ago for 1.75 million, but in this current market with all prices so cheap training isn't really worth it at the moment.


After you were challenged on this statement by an experienced user, you came back to say something along the lines of: this only applies to your team, it is just your opinion, etc. However, I did not get any of that from your initial post.
