I don't agree at all with that. Why turn away good players just because they can't post on a forum?
If you feel that strongly about it then they can join. Legit gets a say too tho.
I think this forum adds a lot to our club especially with regards to our chemistry. You said yourself we lack individual skill, and I'd bet without getting to know each other a bit on here this club would be a lot different and worse off if we didn't post at all to break up the monotony.
Anyone that we've ever let join that was not a member since I joined in NHL 11 has not stick around for long. Coincidence? Also can you really vouch for both of them as good players because one of them dropped a meaningless star and said their club was in the Elite division. For all we know the other club members could have carried the team?
We lowered the player count and do "quality control" so "cliques" don't start as well. If the friend isn't a member what incentive will he ever have to want to hop into a game with us if his buddy isn't on?
Maybe these 2 will prove to be the exception tho...
