Removal of Media Point Cap

[IamQuailman]

Pretty self explanatory. Cap is 15pts per season. Im proposing a cap removal for these, as it creates a cap on potential articles (some people write for fun, others write for points). If people put out the effort, it should be awarded.

I agree - or if we're worried about abuse, let's just double it to 30pts...pretty much the same in practice, I think.

That could work too.

Also if we keep an elevated cap, league responsibility points should not count towards point cap. Just my $.02 on that.

agreed, I think the media cap should be ONLY for media, not count for responsibility, pick'ems/sim vegas, or anything else

I am 100% in favor of this. As someone who contributes to media often, I sometimes don't post all of my ideas for articles because I am at my cap limit. Imagine how many more Pardon The Interruptions we'd get.

I'd like to have a cap but not 15... 20-25 seems fair. Basically I don't want someone out foxing the luxury tax.

I'm all in favor of more PTIs. I also ration my media contributions. I think making the league responsibility not count as media is a must.

At the very least we remove the league responsibilities from counting against the cap. Then, maybe we bump the cap to 20. That potentially gives people 2 more articles to write, if they have a league responsibility. 30 seems way to high, and unlimited will just lead to people gaming the lux tax, imo.

[IamQuailman]

Should this be put to vote? I think we had a few options of 30, 25, 20 cap

[IamQuailman]

I hope we can put this to vote this season.

Split it over 2 polls even:
-No Change vs Change
-If Change, 20 v 25 v 30

[TheSyndicate]

agreed.

And then for poll 2, it'd be the lowest choice with consensus.

Bump.

FWIW, I think an expansion of the cap is a good idea. I'm not sure if outright removal is the way to go. Myself, I would rather see us expand to 25 points and see if we feel that's enough and then vote again the following season to see if it should expand more.

I think we're seeing a huge influx of good content - podcasts especially - and I want to see that continue.

This is my proposal

5 points preseason pressers
15 points - Articles
6 points - Podcast
5 points - Draft/College sim

What does college/sim entail?

Personally, I'd rather just a increased cap instead of separate categories.

[IamQuailman]

I like the idea of separate caps, but broken out like this (similar to scott's original proposal):

10pts for podcasts
15pts for Pro Articles
10pts for College based articles (draft previews would need to be defined)
5pts for Pre-Season Pressers

OR

10pts for podcasts
25pts for articles (college/pro combined)
5pts for pressers

you increase the total cap for articles to 25 basically, you break out podcasts to encourage repeated pods, not just one offs, and pressers maintain their set up. I'm leaning more towards the 25pts for articles (college/pro combined) over the hard splits between college and pro.

With activity being at an all-time high the last few months, I think we should reward and encourage continued growth in our media. Putting a ceiling only will stifle. Sure people will complain about influx of points in the league, but with evolving means of using said points, we should be expanding our point earning system as well.
