Not sure what happened to the other voting thread. Looks broken. 5 yes, 0 no last I saw yesterday.

Proposed rule: In order for a new rule or rule change to pass, we need half the league (not half the voters) to vote yes. The manager who proposes the rule should make a reasonable effort to publicize that there is a vote going on.

Yes.

Seemed to break right after I posted. Got a duplicate, then deleteed the dupe....broken.

Basically, this is what I said. I assumed this wasn't just a sour grapes post, but that you were actually trying to improve things.

1) I abstain, cause I dont really care what the rule is as long as we have one.

2) Half is vague, its either 7 (exactly half) or its 8 votes to change something. State the number.

3) It would seem to me that simple majority of the casted votes was used last time, so that has to be the applied rule to decide THIS issue.

4) Your proposed rule says the guy who proposes something should notify the league, but I have not received that notification via a personal e-mail. So, what was your intent exactly?

5) You absolutely need to have a deadline for any vote. I would suggest that ALL issues be resolved within one week of voting. We cannot deliberate things ad nauseum. We decide and we move on.

6) When would this proosed rule take effect?

Good comments, Bean.

The number of members of the league may change in the future, so left it purposely vague. But with 14, 8 is a majority. No, not a sour grapes post. I am trying harder to bitch less and fix more in life. I stated it differently to my wife when she asked what my New Year's resolution was. ;)

This was bugging me, so I decided I should try and fix it.

It wasn't a simple majority of cast votes in the past. I remember numerous votes that failed because we simply couldn't get folks to vote and never got to 8.

A deadline is a good idea. A week is reasonable.

I receive an email every time someone posts to the message board in yahoo. You don't?

I'll rephrase and repost, but will leave this for now in case you or others have comments or suggestions. Plus I'm late for a meeting.

Fixed my team notification settings, don't know why they changed. Suggest all check for their notifications on Yahoo. Go to My Team>>Edit Team Info>>Fantasy E-Mails>>I check all three as YES

I see you can turn off those annoying Daily cash ads too.

Rephrasing: In order for a new rule or rule change to pass, we need a majority the league (not voters) to vote yes. This is currently 8. The manager who proposes the rule should make a reasonable effort to publicize that there is a vote going on. If a majority do not vote for the proposal within a week, the proposal fails.

Good to know, re Yahoo. If you send a message to the league instead of putting it on the message board, that should work. Will test now.

Good rule change Bili. When the league first started it was easy to get people to vote because the political forum was super active, unfortunately it's now on ice and that caused people to not come here as much. Simple majority seems like the obvious way to go.
