I don´t see how allowing people to claim PT`s in SHL that they have done elsewhere helps with that?

Both bring equal amount of activity to SHL. If I watch out of the window and if someone does a PT in some other league = Nothing happens in SHL.

Why do people NEED to do a PT for each site? The only thing a PT does is act like a more elaborate activity check. It doesn't create "activity" and doesn't make the site more interesting.

If people are incentivized to make players here without having to do PTs, that can increase the user base and more people writing media, discussing things going on in the SHL, and perhaps bring more people to do other jobs that have a tangible benefit to the league (updating, record keeping, awards, HO, simming, etc.)

This action benefits all leagues involved.

Why does SHL need to be a site that caves into that? If there already is sites that do that PT affiliation with each other, why cant we have one in SHL that does the opposite and asks more from it´s users? And with more I mean - the PT´s.

Don´t have the time to do 150 words + other smaller tasks per week, but all of a sudden have the time to write articles, be active member of the site and maybe even have a job around the site?

This is 100% a move that benefits users in PBE/NFSL, makes their weekly ´grind´ easier when they can do their PT´s in SHL and they also get to promote their leagues in a prime window in SHL. Why don´t you change the SHL logo to be a Coca-Cola sign while you are at it?

I already explained why this is a good thing. You have yet to explain why the SHL needs to have this arbitrary standard of "asking more of its users."

As far as "not having the time to write 150+ words"? Some may not have time. Some may have time but not want to rely on doing it to maintain a competitive player in this league, so they don't bother coming here or contributing in any way that they would find enjoyable. Some may want to use their time for something fun, or just enjoy the community here and not write any articles or PTs here but contribute in discussion threads when they can on their phone or whatever. Or maybe some people may not have time right now, but later will have time and by that point will have been part of a community and will want to start doing more things for the site after getting involved earlier. If any of those things happens then this affiliation program is a success.

You have not provided a single downside to this. Only that other leagues may benefit more. So what?

And I still fail to see the good side of it. Not everybody like the PT´s, I get that. Not everybody have the time to do them in all the leagues, I get that as well, but what I don´t get is that why do you fight for users like that? Why don´t you leave them behind if they don´t want to/cant do the PT´s the SHL ´asks´ them to do? Once again, building a great player as a purely PT user is totally possible, doing the actual PT´s takes the absolute max of 1 hour of your week - is that too much?

This is SHL, not the mecca or helpdesk for all the sim leagues where the goal is to help the sim league community by offering the easy route. How about stop worrying about other leagues, how they are doing and focus only on SHL? If the users want to join here, they will come.

SHL as a league loses it´s value and shine by teaming up with other leagues like this, SHL loses it´s uniqueness when it pimps itself out almost for free. Going to this direction means that in the end SHL is going to be just like other leagues. So many people being up for this PT affiliation means this league as we know it is going towards desctruction - what so many enjoyed wont be here soon anymore, what is going to be left is just users who want as much as possible with as little work as possible.

Alright dude. This is just being able to post PBE or NSFL PTs in replacement of the regular one if you want. This isn't the end of the world as we know it.
