*What it means to be a Commissioner

[lemonoppy]

As per fear of getting punished, I am here to write a 150 word media piece so I don't get fined. This part does not count towards total

Anyways, I am here to talk about what it means to be a player under this current commissioner duo of Woelkers and Darkness rising. The Commissioner position is one of the most crucial parts of a league that allows both the the whole machine to run smoothly and according to rules and best wishes for the league. Commssioners often aren't recognized for how much work they do behind the scenes and the organization it takes. They do their best to be as invisible as they can be and steer the league forward. It is a selfless position where most of your work goes unnoticed and unappreciated, which can honestly be kind of sad, but you have to keep pushing forwards especially as making sure the users are in line is a core duty. I am having a fearful time as a GM who's just drafted S44 players especially as Woelker and Darkness have the best bans per season (BPS) that we've ever seen lets be real.

high BPS but it's the shitposts per punishment thread (S/PT) that's the real worry imo. you gotta look at the advanced metrics. they're way above the expected shitposts (xSP) at this point, and the differential -- which would ultimately calculate their shitposts allowed (SPA) metric -- is quite alarming.

we know that SPA is usually inversely correlated with BPS -- analysis suggests that a higher BPS projects authority, which in turn tends to curb the low effort shitposts (leSP) in particular -- and leSP is a pretty high proportion of the total SPA atm, so maybe things will level out, given time. but right now, it just raises a lot of questions. you just dont expect to see this level of SPA in conjunction with high BPS in the modern commissioner landscape.

i have faith that we'll see a regression to the mean as seasons pass, but the game has evolved since the early days. we might be looking at a new era. with the rise of bots and a discord resurgence, we might be entering a new shitposting era.
