I find it odd you're so worried about this.

TaySC has been doing this for seasons, and he isn't spamming the forum with it.


Not to mention that I asked Ellis Bell, who is the Tournament Admin, how she wanted me to advertise for the tourney and she gave me permission to post this everywhere that you currently see threads. She even mentioned making a announcement for all the tournaments if we wanted her to, but I didn't think that extra step was needed.

But it does amaze me when people do something like this as a service to GLB with no payment for the time spent, but then a select few agents still want to piss and whine about a simple thread that they could easily ignore if it didn't interest them. Seriously? If I pissed and whined about every thread in every forum that I felt was a waste of space and time, then I would be here 24/7 and need to be on suicide watch.

tl;dr version - if this thread bothers you, get a life.


And just so you know...I dont care that you posted the thread...I care that others in the past have been locked, deleted and users banned for spam. Me being one that was banned in the past for posting a Tournament thread in the same places you have been posting them. I was told to use the tournament forum. I just want to see every user treated equally.

TaySC went the proper route, asked for and got permission to post his tournament.

That's all that needs to be said.

Because he is a bugs coordinator he gets special treatment. As usual GLB mods make up the rules they want to enforce on which users they like or dislike.

What you fail to understand (or didn't really have the need to know) was that things changed after we invited EllisBell into our PF and had a 4 page (plus PM's) discussion with her on how to best advertise for ALL tournaments.

That is when she had the Tournaments forum changed from being a subforum into an actual forum and mentioned wanting to help ALL tournaments that were well run and helping provide a "service" for GLB.

That is also when she got with DD and took over the Tournament Admin username so she could post this herself if people decided to raise a stink.

My being a Bugs Coordinator has absolutely nothing to do with anything. In that capacity I work for Catch22. This tournament thing is all, 100%, EllisBell.

But if you and the rest of GLB feel slighted I can again stop running a tournament (and I will if I can't advertise for it). It really is no sweat off my butt either way. I do this for others and gain absolutely nothing from doing it and dealing with the added drama.

I hate to agree with lolmikey but I do. I've had this happen to me in the past as well. We have a tourney forum this is where this thread belongs. I appreciate you want to run a tourney but let's be honest how many new teams and owners are out there maybe 3% make it easier and just pm your past tourney entires and go about it that way putting your tourney signup link in the pm


Combine has a massive network how bout you use that and recruit the other networks via pm etc instead of posting in each non tourney forum.

Again I appreciate your effort and the combine effort but the rules should be fair across the board

@Thundercat: I'm sorry for what happened in the past. And while we do have a tournament thread for this.

The official stance is there is no reason to ruin anyone's fun, so long as they aren't excessively spamming forums (ie: each individual league subforum) or posting in the wrong areas.

Especially something that's game related, a tournament.

National Pro / WL

Rookie / PeeWee (if we get enough teams)

So why was this moved? http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=4933713
Why was this locked? http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=4896350
Or have you seen this? http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=4851441
Clearly game related, and not spam.

Also, you mentioned "or posting in the wrong areas."
But this thread is clearly posted in the wrong area.
