League communications

[snugerud]

So I have found the communication system here on ProFSL has been lacking for quite a while. (ie. no notifications when you receive a message) I would like to setup a secondary messaging or even a new primary to communicate league wide deadlines schedules. 

I personally like fantrax for that purpose as they require an email and its easy to checkbox everyone all at once.  Does everyone here have their emails up to date on fantrax?

Yea - I used the Fantrax system for league-wide communication too.  Sending a mass PM here doesn't work well without notifications.  We could also try to adopt a group messaging app of some sort - if we can get everyone on board and using it.

Don't know what's so hard about checking in on the site once or twice a day. Anybody that can't do that really isn't interested.

I generally agree, but there's always a few that need some prodding.  It's inevitable and it's what we have to work with.  Getting an email blast saying "DRAFT STARTS MONDAY" helps keep people engaged.  Even super active members like Cally lost track of when the draft started this year.

Snug, maybe throw out a test email from Fantrax and ask everyone to respond on here that they received it OK.

I get it but I'm an anti-notification guy. I really try to not let my phone dictate when I look at it so don't expect me to respond to emails from fantrax. All apps are asleep or silenced!

i HAVE HAD THE SAME COMPLAINT IN BYNHL. IT WOULD BE NICE TO GET NOTIFICATIONS FROM PROFSL WHEN PEOPLE POST ON THE BOARDS

I just want to go on record that I am NOT a fan of moving the league off Profsl on to Fantrax. I don’t like the setup of Fantrax when it comes to trades and discussions. I know some don’t agree with me and that’s fine. I’m not in a habit of checking Fantrax for anything other than scoring and lineups. I agree that Profsl has had issues but it was pretty quick to move it off. So if I don’t respond to things on Fantrax it’s because I’m not looking at it. If you want to discuss trades you can reach me here.

I believe we are keeping FA and all the discussions here and using fantrax for the rosters and contracts. Im not sure whats with trade approval

Without having a more involved discussion I think we continue doing trades as we always have. Appreciate the emergency impulse to save the league but profsl's boards aren't toast just yet.

It looks to me like all trade offers and trades are happening on Fantrax.  I'm not sure if that is how its supposed to be.  I hope not. I'll be missing a lot of communications.
