Maze should be removed as commissioner.

September 08, 2017 at 08:38PM View BBCode

"No matter - we all know that draft order is the power of the Commish."

This is a quote from Maze in the other thread he locked. This just proves that he has no idea that the league is 16 owners and not just the power of the commish. He has no idea what it is to be a commish and should never been put in the position in the first place. Maze needs to be removed as commissioner.

I disagree
Maze is learning the job he was placed in it because he wanted to do it. we should vote on it though what the draft order should be but it won't passed because enough want to stay the same for now. But hell I never saw an issue that could not be discussed and then voted on.

And Pittstlrs your getting to be as bad as me with your overreaction to things.

Michael1, my posts may have been harsh and I apologize for that. Maze has shown numerous times that he thinks it's one power, when in fact it is the power of 16 owners. The commissioner works for us owners and the betterment of the league.

Letting M1 back should have been grounds for removal. Nobody want it then so you can't think we are going to support removal over the last 4 picks of the draft. Honestly in reading that thread I am not even sure what the hubalu was about. Yeah the power of the commish is the draft... Whatever. He's not saying he going to manipulate it for gain or something and he put this issue to vote. It's a learning process let's let him learn and as issue come up keep calling them to everyone's attention.

b73 Chris let me back in so maybe the admin needs to go. Maze didn't have a problem with it. Just like he didn't have a problem putting your team up for sale and then taking it down when you were afraid Compton was taking it.

1. Maze is learning the ropes.Give him a chance to learn what commish is first.The next season hasn't even started yet.
2.These treads are getting old hear everyone bicker back and forth over small stuff or same stuff.
3. We have plenty of time to vote and change rules or what ever.Maze is just finding out what everyone wants to do in the future
4.Relax and enjoy the game.Remember it is a game to have fun.

He changed the rule and then afterwards brought it to a vote after a few people questioned it. Changing rules require a vote and whether they are minor changes or major changes determines the amount of votes needed for change. Any altering for the order of the Amateur Drafts is considered a Major Change. He knows this and decided to change the rule anyways stating his "power" as commissioner. The post (WBL) League Voting on 8/21 shows this different classifications of rule changes. Simply put, he overstepped his bounds as commissioner by changing the draft order and then stating that we all know he has the power to change it and the only reason it's going for a vote is for s***s and giggles.

The poll thread has been locked so I will comment in this one. The poll wound up 8-8. Now i'm sure Maze voted to keep himself in so it is telling that the other 15 owners voted 8-7 in favor of removal. Hopefully this will work as a wake up call to Maze and he will finally realize that the commissioner works for the league and doesn't have the power to arbitrarily change the rules.

Lets have a good season and good luck to all.

Let's all just take a deep breath here.

The Commish is the liaison between Admin and the league. He helps organize discussions, post teams for sale, and removes teams from the sale list. He can resolve minor issues with the assistance of others in the league like getting an accidentally waived player back where he belongs.

That's it. A Commish has no more power than that. They don't enact rules, change the draft order (unless an already enacted rule tells them to), overturn trades or trade disputes, or throw anyone out of a league. They have limited power to prevent someone from coming into a league by setting a league password.

The new season is just starting. This league is full of strong personalities and has just gone through a series of upheavals. But it has the potential to be an awesome league, otherwise I'd have just shut it down ages ago. Let's all try to give each other a bit of a chance, and if anyone feels there is an issue please post a private message in Support.

Thank you Chris for posting and clearing up the duties of the commissioner. I apologize for some of my posts, I wasn't very tactful in the way I responded. Like you said, there are some strong personalities in here. :D

Again, lets have a good season and good luck to all.
