Maybe just value the players how you do and let others do the same without calling them homers?
I’m just referring to the broad range- politely…why is mine “crazy high”? I even said I was reluctant and acknowledged that maybe I was off.
Of all the moderating done for community standards or positive interactions, you’re as out there as any of us…and then some. I’m sure I’m not the only one that sees that on an almost daily basis
Not sure what you are talking about? But I feel really confident I have zero reputation for overvaluing Mavs players on the regular.
Do I have strong takes? Oh yeah. Do I tick off a lot of posters who don't like a board reg/mod telling them their players aren't worth what they think? Oh hell yeah. Will I point out inconsistencies in how they evaluate players on their own team versus how they evaluate players on other teams? Yep.
But I'm not obligated as a mod to just agree with the high end valuation on players on every poster's team. And since you seem to paying close attention to me, you will note that is when the issues come up.
I'm going to give my honest valuations. And that's okay even as a Mod I promise.
And this was such a mild reminder. I wasn't so much moderating you as pointing out you used homer to talk about the high end range of a player you acknowledge you value less than most. While then asking for a lot for your player when you've seen all the threads and seen how the board as a whole values him much lower, but didn't suggest in any way your value might be related to being a fan of Carter's team.
Now I have zero issues with you valuing Carter how you do and would not assert based on one post you are overvaluing him because of your fandom. Only posters with a long track record of overvaluing players on their team would I suggest such a thing. But I do think if you are going to take the low value on one player and say those taking the high value are homers and then turn around in the same post and take the high value on a Magic player....
