There are a lot of things the league already does well, but I think there are a lot of changes that could be beneficial as well. One of the biggest, which I know the league is working on, is to have a better navigation on the forums and websites. Hopefully, with a migration over to a new site, this will be achieved.
One of the next and biggest things that I think the league could benefit from is more open communication. There are many people who have a lot of jobs and moving pieces, and yet sometimes it seems as though those parts are busy putting out fires and can’t necessarily communicate it. The biggest piece that comes to mind was when the sim was late this season. While Bex is trying to figure out what is happening as Commish (and as is her job) she’s also having to manage the ISFL chat and attempt to communicate what happened. The ISFL community deserves the open communication, but the Commish also deserves to fix the issue without trying to do both - you can’t do both. By creating a team of community managers, it allows players to contact someone knowing their sole job is to chat. Community admin can moderate between all of the moving pieces in the league, and it allows players ONE (or one team) of people to chat with, as opposed to every person within each party. I see questions all the time about who they should ask or talk to. By allowing users one set answer, it can ease user frustrations.
I also would love to see a tweak to Trivia, where users opt in, get random questions messaged to them, and then need to respond to them. I think it would be a great way to make Trivia more than just a copy and paste point task. The idea of removing trivia completely is one that makes me sad, and by creating a situation where users wouldn't inherently have the same questions actually allows for conversations and discussions about how to navigate the site, the wiki, and the history of the league.
