It might not be exactly worded that way but it's against the rules to post transfer listed players, period.

If we followed your reasoning, the forums would still be full of spam with player sales, it would just be friends posting friends sales instead of their own to get around the exact wording.

It's not really that hard to make your point without posting a current transfer anyway. You could have posted skills and price without the name, team name etc

Maybe the rules should be worded exactly that way to prevent people breaking rules that are not listed...

My reasoning is simple. If it is not listed as illegal in the rules, then it is legal. It is not hard to say "It is prohibited to post any player who is currently on the transfer list on any forum" to make the rule black and white. Friends won't post friends sales instead of their own if the exact wording prevents it... (Note: I have never had any contact of any kind with the player of whom the transfer was listed)

I used the name and team name to rule out any chance that I was just making up a player to prove a point. Obviously if it was stated to be illegal in the rules I would have left them out... But then what prevents another GM deciding that leaving the players name and team out does enough to prevent it to be considered advertising since rules do not have to be worded correctly?

In addition, the following is not permitted in public forum areas of Buzzerbeater:

- Player advertising and valuation requests.

(http://www.buzzerbeater.com/community/rules.aspx?nav=Foru...)

Posting transfer-listed players is "player advertising".

Once again, it should be defined more specifically as my post was clearly using a player as an example in a discussion and it was also quite clear that I had no intentions of "player advertising" as myself or any of my friends had no benefit whether the player was sold or not.

Whether I did advertise the player or not, by the definitiion in the rules I did so legally. If there is a bug within the game it is giving an advantage or disadvantage it is sorted immediately. I dont see why a definition of a rule is so hard clarify before people make innocent breaches of rules that can be defined differently by many different GMs.

I don't think there is a single GM who would allow the posting of any transfer listed player, regardless of which team he is on.

You could continue to bicker about the exact wording of the rules or you could just say sorry and not do it again, since it is quite clear that posting a transfer listed player in the forums shouldn't be and isn't allowed.

The rules quite explicitly say that player advertising is not allowed. A player on the transfer list is for sale, thus any posting of his skills or other information constitutes advertising, intentional or not. If you would like to continue your semantic discussion, please feel free to send me a private message. Thanks.

What do you expect to happen with salary level (inflation/deflation coeficient) for season 16?
I'm little bit worry about salaries and expect big influence against drop due to 2 reasons which increase the amount of money in global B3 economic:
- new rule about not paying salaries during playoff (1/4 of all teams will save 2 weeks salaries and 3/8 to 5/8 of all teams will save 1 week salaries, depending how many relegation series go into tie-break)
- increasing user base, at the moment about 40% more user than at the last season update
It could lead even to raise of salaries (but I hope just slight).

Also, 90% of the new users might be gone by season break 6 weeks from now.

This could help quite a lot, but huge wave still hasn't finished and maybe there is more than 10% still in game by season update.

I believe salaries will continue to drop.

and what do you think of my arguments? I hope for drop, but I'm little bit worry. In 2 season I think it will drop for sure, but this one I'm not sure.
