    • We bring in killer's new rule, one fighter, once a month. I feel you should be able to vote on any ranked fighter, not just those in your division
    • Inactive managers should be removed from their positions
    • New managers should be given a 2 month trail
    • All votes should be equal
    Any others?
    I agree with all of those except for Killer's rule, I am firmly against it to be honest (sorry Killer).

    Regarding the polls, I think they're great and they should be used liberally for all sorts of matters.

    Edit: Like Killer, I feel managers should be able to break ties.

    No offense taken, but I am curious to your issue with it, especially with the new revisions.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    Well, I hope you don't take any offense, but I find it to be very arbitrary and somewhat clumsy regarding the rules which guide it. I don't think there should be any time constraints associated with it and to be honest I'd be fine with a divisional manager proposing such manipulations whenever they see fit, within reason of course. I believe it should be used sparingly, and I very much like the one vote against veto option, but I think the rule should exist without constraints or not at all. If a manager feels more than one fighter should have their position shifted, then why not allow them to request it whenever they see fit (or not at all)? Again, just to reiterate, I would want it stressed that such things are only do be done rarely.

    Agree on everything but votes being equal, I think the managers being worth 2 is a good thing as its about the only thing a manager has to do.

    I think it undermines the credibility of our system and makes it unbalanced. I am for managers getting 1 vote + a tie-breaking vote. However, I understand where you're coming from.

    Something that's come up in the Prescott/Vazquez fight. I feel that if we pick a fight to go from pool to rankings we are voting on the fight not the fighter. For future reference if there is a guy in the pool that's fighting someone with a Kid Thunder like record, we should not vote that it's a fight worth ranking unless we are willing to put the underdog in the rankings in the case of an upset.

    Hopefully with the new rule approved to vote to fill vacancies we won't have to worry about that anymore

    I was think we should have a deadline for votes for the week, maybe the end of Tuesday night for any votes for that week, that way I can post an update & start working on the next weeks one
