The best solution for this problem is to remove the rankings on the schedule page. There are other options as a said before, but I can´t see the interest of having rankings on the schedule page when we can easily access them through the standings page. This feature is something that has been added with the new site, and it is cancelling the effect of a Supporter feature:
No Match Spoilers
Have you ever missed watching a game live, only to have the results spoiled by having the outcome displayed on the schedule page? As a Supporter, when you view your schedule, the results of games will be hidden. When you click on a boxscore, then all games up to and including the one you are looking at will now be visible on your schedule page. This way, if you can't watch your game live, you can still click on the replay without knowing the final score. Or, if you do just want the score, go directly to the boxscore and everything will be visible.


Of course, I would have preferred my original post at the General Forum where I posted it for open discussion. I could also have opened an Admin Ticket or a post at the bug forum (as this is probably a non intentional side-effect), but I preferred to let more people support my complaint.
The forum was not crowded, so I don´t understand the urgency to close a post that is not against forum rules. Sometimes we may need some organization in the forums, but sometimes it looks like there is a competition to see who has the fastest finger for pressing the "close thread" button.

And so we are now at the suggestion forum, I would suggest to open a "Global Forum for Irrelevant Posts" (such as oldest player, ugliest player...), so we can have a nicer Global Forum to discuss and debate things that are worth for the whole BB community, instead of these funny but irrelevant threads that currently monopolize the Global Forum.

You're speaking for yourself. I like the numbers on the schedule page myself, and I'd be disappointed if they went away... clearly, a BB thought it was a good idea, too. Of course it was an oversight that it doesn't play nice with the "no match spoilers". As Juice said above, getting this sorted out is "worth pursuing"... hopefully in the form of a user preference to satisfy those who like it and those who don't.

So, I think it's safe to say the problem is understood, and that the issue is in the BBs' queue (via Juice).

No, it's simply a matter of two things:

#1 That's the way things are organized

#2 If you want someone to see and recognize a good suggestion, the Suggestions forum is the place to be - that's where the BBs will be seeing them much more likely than, say, Global.

Perhaps I should have said "the easiest solution" or the "fairest solution for Supporters", because these numbers brought a problem that would not exist without them. And this problem affects to those people that are actively supporting the game with their money. That makes a difference in terms of priority. And that's why I employed the term "complaint" instead of "suggestion".

You should update the forum rules accordingly.

My flight has been cancelled. My luggage has been lost. My brand-new computer does not turn on... Then I make a complaint. I´m not suggesting to get another flight, my luggage back, or my computer working...

A 3D BB-viewer, more player pics, remove the possibility to play TIE, new tactics for the 4th quarter... These are suggestions.

Airlines don't design their systems to cancel flights or lose luggage.

Dell doesn't design computers to not turn on.

BB, however, designed this feature to work this way.

Big difference.

Airlines don´t design their systems to cancel flights, by the do cancel flights and they do lose luggage, so you can complaint about it, because it is not supposed (and designed) to work like this, and you are paying for it.

I am quite sure that BuzzerBeater developers did not plan to spoil a Supporter feature. They offer an improved game experience for Supporters, and Supporters are paying for this (both to support the game and to gain some extra features), so they have the right of complaining about things that are not working as they should.

That's made in the bug forum for programming issues, and in the General forum for other more qualitative complaints (for example about the new limit for arena attendance).

Except for Finnair's luggage handlers and Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport.
