Right but you can't say that good thoughts will be buried when you clearly have seen this article and commented on it. Not hard to then send this to the rest of the team. I only posted this article because 1. I'm not on the recruitment team to be doing their work for them, and 2. wanted to specifically post this one because of your comment about good ideas being buried. If I see other good thoughts the rest of the week and notice them not in the recruitment server, I'll try and send them as well. But I'd hope that recruitment members are checking out some of these articles since the Commissioners just crowdsourced some of the brainstorming work recruitment needs to do.

Bojo has a long and storied history of only enjoying success when re-signing midseason, right before the TDL

Dunno why you're coming in with this sort of response when we both know there's a newly made channel in the recruitment server to post and discuss community suggestions and thoughts. There's absolutely no reason why you should be feigning outrage here instead of just posting it in that channel for all of the recruitment team to see. It seems like you just wanted an outlet to vent which could be better done in a different spot than in a constructive article that was clearly posted for theme week - hence why it's not in that thread. I'll post this article in that channel on discord. This has been a job within recruitment for as long as I've been here. RJ had the role and posted weekly draft class rankings for all active classes and also advised various commissioners on population trends to inform league expansion or adjustments. I presume Mubbles was hired for a similar role but per his own admission, has been busier with life recently and doesn't have the time. It was easier to justify a lower pay for RJ since he was one of the few people who had portal API access and just ran scripts weekly that made the job "easier." For anyone else, it'd be a much trickier and time consuming job unless they can set up a file like Gus has and maintain it over time.

So I'm reading that we need to make the TMB LoL tournament a VHL sponsored event @Enorama make it happen

Does she want to be an M GM?

What, scared she'd be more active than you? We can keep her out of Moscow though

Just get your girlfriend in the league 5head. If she's real!

The VHLM Commissioners are re-assigning Wayne Shotzky @Kenamatic from the San Diego Marlins to the Missisauga Hounds. @vincentlg2007 @MexicanCow123

No one's inquired tbh

He wants to stay and he's not that old all things considered. Will still be a perfectly fine player for a while and a good winger to have for young centers.

Good, there's another voice in the process to help finalize updating decisions. I'm happy with the hire and already like the discussions had so far.

I was hoping to see some music recs, very disappointed

I mean we can only use free web tools unless the league wants to invest in a forum add-on. But yes, I imagine the burden will likely fall onto the graphic maker to supply proof.

Not speaking for V.2, but there will never be a tool that can tell us that something is clearly based on AI or just a tool used for something smaller. I think we can always have these individual conversations on a person by person basis, but we can always investigate the graphics makers and ask them to send us raw files or original graphics to prove their individual efforts. There's no clear cut answer here and it'll be based on updater judgment to reach out and investigate.

I believe in you buddy! The league will see (in due time) that you're a very useful player

Is there a particular reason you've decided to make a new Instagram account for the league outside of the one the league already has? How did you think this was a good idea?

I'm not going to lie, you don't strike me as someone who's in this league for the hockey/sims aspect. So I don't really think that your preferences about what you'd want to see on Instagram is our target demographic. Some people are here for the community and the people and that's fine. But you have to recognize that with your known indifference for your player(s) in the past, you're really not the type of person we'd want to make ads for.

So you're gonna come out of inactivity and become the zoomer king of VHL reels/shorts/tiktok right....?? (pls do I think the content would be hilarious)

Right, this point is different than your original post of "people care more about message delivery than the message." If in terms of message delivery, you mean bringing up valid concerns and offering solutions is better than just saying people's current efforts are worthless, then sure - I agree. Some of y'all really need to not just pull overused buzz words and phrases without understanding their definitions and use cases. I agree that these more brazen posts end up getting more interactions by default due to the community feasting on drama. But there are plenty of posts that raise issues that also generate worthwhile discussion without putting others down (Gus is a good example, Sam has done it in the past as well, others can be provided if you need links to threads). Not every productive conversation needs to start with ragebait or someone being a dick to someone else.

If you'd like to make this a "wow everyone is soft" tangent, feel free. The actual work will be done, and is being done, where these narratives don't permeate - in the recruitment server. I don't think recruitment has denied that they have not had success. If anything it's been in response to the various brash statements that I posted earlier in the thread that were unnecessary to providing constructive criticism and suggestions. So yeah, miss me with the "oh no people can't take criticism" if you also can't understand what a civil conversation with one another is.

I'm fine with the first paragraph telling Z to step up and help. But this about calling out everyone else to make better content isn't it. If people can meet guidelines, they get their TPE. Updaters deny stuff that isn't up to par. We can acknowledge that people's PTs may not be high enough quality to go on instagram to advertise the league. Our standard for awarding TPE for PTs isn't that high. If people want to meet that bar, they're free too. But that's definitely not the responsibility of the community to complete tasks for recruitment to yoink for social media.

"Hey no offense, you do an absolute shit job. No offense though." Just be mindful of the way you lay things out man. Everything is semantics, it's a community. It's interactions with people with no way to understand tone. You could definitely just have made the Instagram conversation around "hey, the graphics being posted can be improved to focus on recruitment/advertising rather than just featuring content." Instead there was most definitely language that doesn't sound very conducive to facilitating positive change. "feels like recruitment has been bumbling around not putting any real effort" "fix the sloppy mess that is the social media accounts" "look at this post and honestly tell me you think they’re trying their hardest…" "doesn’t change how boring and useless the instagram is" Just a few easily noticeable examples. But hey, you got the clicks and discourse going. Just at the expense of shitting on the recruitment members who want to do good work and put in effort.

VHLE GM is pretty special and rare!

Brother, can you be any less tactful
