There’s nothing wrong with that. I think what @Victor means is that, while well-meaning, the post comes off a bit as “league policy” which makes it seem like everything that happened will just be retroactively ignored and that isn’t the case. It was your statement, not the league’s statement.

Welcome to the VHL, TheFinnFTW! We're happy to have you. You should have received a PM with some more detailed information, but to get started quickly you will want to head over to the "How to Create a Player" topic. That topic will offer you detailed information about how to use the VHL Portal to create your player and get you started. We also highly recommend joining the VHL Discord where there is a channel dedicated to helping new members with any questions that they may have about the league or improving their player. Once your player is made VHLM General Managers will be in touch with you about joining their teams. In the meantime, please feel free to ask any questions you have here or in your create-a-player thread. We're happy to have you in the community and we hope you stick around!

He was created before the new rules so he still goes to DC. Glade’s new player is the first to fall under the new rules.

Correct. Can’t recall if @Will set it up as draft or first game but it’s one of the two.

In lieu of @Quik’s extended leave of absence, and with off-season stuff needing to be done, the league has decided to appoint @Jubo07 as interim GM of Helsinki. He has been given the VHL GM group on the forum and control of Helsinki on the portal. We will be deciding after the off-season how to handle the situation but for now Jubo has every right Quik had as GM. This includes but is not limited to drafting, trading, and offering free agents.

No, I don’t. I mean it’s hard to police 250+ posts every hour of every day. Our mod staff can’t be on 24/7. Now there are some who have quite frankly not acted according to their rank mind you and there will be consequences.

Nah, no one played AW and even fewer played hardpoint haha. Top 1000 was dead easy.

You guys all wanted discord to have a bigger percentage so it kinda needs the follow the same rules since it’s such a big part of the league. You can’t have it both ways.

I was top 500 in the world in AW’s Hardpoint mode at one point.

That’s actually an interesting idea. One of our issues is just how massively active our discord is so policing it is incredibly difficult. It wouldn’t totally solve the problem to have a “disclaimer” channel but at least anyone going into it would be agreeing to the terms.

Completely agree. I’ve always been against having such strict rules like “these words are fine, these are not” but quite frankly it’s not being a SJW to say that you shouldn’t be using some words. Why call it gay when you could just say “this is bullshit”? Why say retarded when you could just say “well that’s stupid”. There are non-offensive versions out there. As a league I did think we had come further than we have. I don’t think we’re the cesspool that simply searching up terms on discord makes it seem (context sometimes is important) but I don’t think we’ve come as far from 2007 as I would have liked. Do better VHL. And be warned if you choose not to.

If you don’t then the Mercs would definitely make you regret it and Would also get their best player ever haha

I can’t really say banned anymore so... fired?

I kinda realized that after I wrote it hit close enough haha

Just curious do you mean a code of conduct for the staff or for the members or both? We do have an overarching code kicking around somewhere but I’d need to dig it up. It obviously doesn’t cover every little thing because that would be impossible an in general we do like some ambiguity with our rules because having everything set 109% in stone just leads to people trying to find loopholes but if the CoC needs to be updated to be a bit more strict that’s more than reasonable.

It is, that’s likely a remnant from the old one. And Remembrance Day is just Canadian I think. Though isn’t it veteran’s day in the US?

That I don’t deny.

Hey now, Thompson was always badass in the playoffs, even if the team wasn’t haha.

All write in votes shall he interpreted as Thompson

Never said anyone should vote for me over anyone else. Just making sure the criteria of the vote are known. Also Davison > Rayz but that’s a whole other thing.

Also a word of note as well: the reason this only includes regular season stats is because this is a regular season only award, it does not count playoff performance.

Sorry for the extra tag spam, blame @DilIsPickle for needing his vote edited

Thompson’s last hurrah, hoping to leave with another gold to the pile.

I said several times in here that I would be talking to them later. I’ve literally been at work while trying to deal with all of this so I haven’t had time to get into a deeper conversation. I’m not sure how me saying “I’ll talk to them about this and how it’s not okay” comes off as nothing is going to happen.

As I said, I plan on talking to them. If you want to retire because we aren’t going to ban every member who utters a word you disagree with them quite frankly I’m not going to stop you because I’m not going to do that. We do have a certain level of tolerance that I will not apologize for but quite frankly all I was doing was trying to de-escalate the situation while I didn’t fully have time (given that I’m at work and focussing more on this argument than my job) to devote to talking to the offending parties. I think it a bit ridiculous to leave the league entirely over a single comment but I’m not going to stop you if that’s what you want to do, it’s your choice to make.
