Fid has nothing to do with this. Stay on task here, junior.
If you think this rule is so important, please outline for me WHY it's imporant (other than I made the rule in the first place). Keeping in mind, you are constantly bashing the rules I make (including the FiD one), meaning you don't like or respect most of my rules anyway. So please, Kruzey, babydoll...fill me in on why this rule is the unshakable foundation of ManMMA and why the spirit of the law is worth ignoring in this case in favour of the hard, concrete letter of the law. I'm all ears, friend.

I'm all ears, friend. From a principle standpoint, it's extremely important that the administrator of any site adhere to the rules set out on the site, not just change them or bend them, carte blanche, every time one is preventing him from doing something himself. That's the reason rules like these are put into place, as a preventative measure, you're not above them, but trying to pull shit like this, you're showing that you think you are. This has nothing to do with any of your "spirit of the law" mumbo jumbo... You just look more and more like a shady prick every time you pull this type of shit man... and it's been happening all too often lately where it's something like this or you're changing things mid-season when you haven't even seen how things will play out at all and all rule changes, in your words, should be done in the off-season... something else you don't adhere to, but expect everyone else to. Why should anyone on this site follow any of the "rules" you've put out if you don't yourself? Makes absolutely zero sense when the admin doesn't follow the site rules, but you bring the hammer down on those that buck the system or find loopholes, but you create one that doesn't exist for yourself to circumvent rules, yet that's perfectly ok? No... I'm telling you, that's not ok at all man. That's 100% bullshit.

That is why you fail. lol Fail what? It's that mentality that's a problem bud... "Justin can do whatever he wants since he's simming?" ...Yah, I don't think so. Rules are put in place for a reason. If he wants a rule to change, do it the way HE's set out for the entire rest of the site to do that, not just change it whenever the hell he feels like it. There's no point in following any of his processes or rules if he, himself, outright ignores them on a regular basis like he has been.

I did it exactly the way I do rule conflicts for everyone else.
1) The problem presented itself and was forwarded to staff. 2) The rule was evaluated by staff on a case-by-case basis, as everything is. 3) The rule was deemed inapplicable or unnecessary in this case. 4) The rule was not applied, the fighter was swapped, with staff approval.
What's missing?
Only difference is when I do it for myself, you don't see the process. When I do it for someone else, I usually discuss it with them, or tell them I'll handle it, don't worry about it, and the problem gets fixed.
I am still find it hilarious that this rule was created to protect me, I say I am okay with ignoring it under the circumstances, and you argue its an important rule that needs to be followed. I am literally LOLing this. Can you even define why you think this rule is so important? Who it affects? What it's league-wide impact is?

I legitimately want to know the answers to these questions, but can xx - Former Phoenix Fight Club please do so in the following manner: Answer each question with its own answer 1 paragraph long: Why is this rule important? Who does the rule affect? What is the league-wide impact?

Please not one paragraph for each answer. I don't want to read an essay lol.

Asking for 1 paragraph each is how we don't get an essay. I just want the direct answers and explanation. I don't want a he-said she-said accusatory rant that says the same thing five different ways in 2000 words.

Why is this rule important? It's not the rule itself that's important, it's the principle of Sandman abusing his admin powers that's the issue. Who does the rule affect? Obviously Sandman or he wouldn't have changed it on a whim like he does with everything else, to suit himself. What is the league-wide impact? The league-wide impact is that the question, one that's been on mind for years now, is how can we really trust that Sandman is truly on the "up-n-up" here, when he's continually bending, breaking and changing rules to suit himself himself every 10 secs, it seems like? Cuz as much as he'd like to tell you that he is, the fact is that he doesn't follow his own due process that he's set out for everyone on the entire site, that should include himself, in making these changes. He figures he can just change and do whatever he wants, no matter how shady it is... and folks let him get away with it. It was an issue I had with him when I was "staff" too, and it's still an issue now. As an admin, you can't just change the rules immediately because it doesn't work for you, and only you. He's so worried about other folks "finding loopholes" or "cheating", yet when he does it himself and just outright breaks and bends the rules, it's somehow ok? I don't think so Tim... That's just bullshit. He's allowed to cheat the system cuz he's the admin? Fuck that noise. Follow your own damn rules if you expect to enforce any rules on others... It's pretty simple rule of thumb to work off of.

So the answer is it affects no one, and matters to nobody. Except me. Glad you agree with that. It really is the ONLY thing that matters here. The rest is just your typical bitching dribble. If any other member PMed me at this point in the season, after a guy had 2 fights, and asked to swap him for a legit fighter like Alvarez, I would have said yes, 100 times over. As for the rest, it's interesting you value my rules so passionately, since you are always complaining about rules, trying to get others changes, caps increased, etc. If you don't think rules should ever change or be looked at or reconsidered, stop bitching and enjoy the status quo. Forever.

Forever. No the answer is that you're a shady prick that can't be bothered to follow and adhere to your own damn rules but expect everyone else to follow them to the letter. You're a hypocrite... Plain and simple. When rules do need to be changed, I'm generally fine with it... it's when they don't, or it's bias shit like this, is where I have a problem. You think you're above your own rules... that's a tell tale sign of a bad and bias administrator. Who knows what other shady shit you're doing behind the scenes if you've got no problem bending the rules for yourself? Who's really capped? Who isn't? What fights are you re-simming for your own desired outcomes? How many fighters should have been champion by now, but you prevented that because you don't like that GM or that fighter or you think "That guy shouldn't be a champion in my league." How can we trust anything you say at all when you can't even follow your own simple rules and bend them for yourself? It's total crap dude... so, of course you find it hilarious, cuz on top of all that, you're an egotist and anyone that opposes you, you find hilarious because you won't change it back, cuz "I'm the admin and I don't have to. So fuck you." and you laugh about it cuz everyone else is powerless to stop you... Well, that part might be true, but it doesn't mean you're not going to hear about it, especially when it's actually a site issue when the admin appears to be corrupt. That's just the facts. All you had to do was wait for Gathje to have one more fight, just like the rest of us in the league have to... but nah, why bother... It's not important to you to have any integrity at all, is it? lol It's pretty sad man.

All this over a rule you agreed mattered to no one and had no impact on anything, lmfao.
