Fair question for a guy that didn't join until 2004. The idea of LL management is to discover it all for yourself without any ouside help.

The idea of not naming players is simple. Player X is a good player in your game. You mention Player X on this forum, and then we all know now that Player X is a good player. When me scout finds Player X in my game, I will have knowledge through you that this player is good.

IN RL we all know certain players, but not all. The reason why do not name well known RL players is again simple. It's the snowball effect. People will see players named, and will name more players and so on. Much easier to have a blanket ban on player naming.

Nicknames are fine, just not actual player names.

Unless you decide to use their full name as their nickname.

That's as good a damn' explanation of the Floodgate Scenario™ as I've heard :cool:

I've just signed Player X on your recommendation Taips. He's rubbish. You're sacked.
