Also, of all the rules that have been proposed and/or passed this rule summit, the fact that HO was trying to have a bit of fun and is getting crucified for it is simply ridiculous. I cannot help but believe that this anger is not stemming from this single error but instead with a different issue that the community at large has with HO. HO and GMs often have very long detailed discussions about all or most rule proposals throughout the season that lead to them being on a ballot, and in fact there are at least 2 separate channels for each level of GMs to discuss things. I don't know a single HO member or GM who spends less than an hour a day on their jobs, and anyone insinuating that they do not care or don't put enough effort in are straight up wrong. Everyone makes mistakes, and in this case I don't think a single person in the league would have said anything publicly if the proposal hadn't been in the original post. It was removed, so it was a simple mistake that was fixed and apologized for.
Also, when I was GM, I remember on two or three separate occasions asking my team if they had any rule proposals they would like me to submit or discuss with me. The only times I did not were early in my career when basically my entire team was in my war room and seasons I already had plans for both my proposals. I have asked my updaters any season that I don't have a rule already lined up for proposal if they have anything they would like proposed. If your concern is that rules summit is not addressing your concerns, then talk to your GMs about that in private, don't blast HO in public. Your GMs are there to help you at a more personal level than HO and they should be the ones you are going after if you feel that your voice is not being heard.
That being said, I have been very grateful to see reasonable discussion in most of this thread.
