i dont want to see the TD go at all... i may not be its biggest fan but people enjoy it.  the problem is theres a line between the normal shit that goes on in there and the protection of members... and over the past few weeks weve seen the worst timeline for what the thunderdome can be used for.

Look if someone goes on the site and talks about other peoples prospects there facing 3 lost draft picks and suspension... but the site elders have looked away while a few members got socially assasinated last month in front of a studio audience.... just seems like we can chew gum and walk at the same time... create defined rules to protect our members and be cognisant of letting people say what they want... i think a good start is holding our GM's to higher standards...

if a top prospect leaves the site from a TD bashing.. how does that affect that team and how does that benifit the teams competing against them?.... what’s to say this couldnt be on the minds of any or all the GM's while there helping tap out other teams players?

I cant say i talked with King allot... but i got a message from him when he was going through that shit.. we talked for a bit... dude was asking what to do?.. feeling completely defenceless against a whole site of vitriol... that shouldnt be what the TD is about....no members should have to log in and feel that way from some area on the site that allows people to be D-bags to each other....We should at least Hold the GMs accountable for not enabling that cause they are on the leagues front line and should be responsable for protecting the health and welfare of this site.

Honestly, the fact HO didn't step in was pretty disgraceful if you ask me. On the PenKnight issue, if they suspended him, there's a decent chance he'd still be on the site. HO needs to step in to keep the lynch mob in check.
