What should be the maximum amount of cash that one can receive for swapping PPT?

1. No maximum
2. $5 million
3. $3 million
4. $2 million
5. I don't think we should be able to swap PPT for cash.

The exchange rate is almost certainly going to be 10 PPT for $1 million.

I want to vote 1, but as a PPT whore I should probably be fair and vote 2, so I will

2. But in the end I don't really care. We Gots a salary cap.

I think this is a big turnoff.

Is that a 5 or a 1, or is it a turn off that we are voting at all?

[lynchy34]

I say no limit. Reward people for participating more.

[aaronweiner]

My stance wavered between 2 and 3 because I'm a PPT whore too, but in retrospect, no maximum is probably fine since there's a cap - as Gates put it so succintly.

Since this is much of the braintrust of the league, I think we can safely settle on no max.

I meant the whole idea of getting money just for writing on the forums is a bad idea in my opinion. I think it will scare off new owners. I don't mind having the TN requirment. As ive settled into the league ive gotten to know my team better and my opponents better so writing is easy. Starting off tho i barely made the requirement my first season. I think this gives a big edge to people who are already entrenched here. I can see scenarios in which an owner would overpay (or give extended years on a deal) a veteran knowing they can cut him a year or 2 down the road and regain some of the monetary loss just by posting on the boards.

2
seems a reasonable enough figure

I vote 5; I think you should punish/eject people for not doing the minimum, not rewarding those that do.

But whatever you guys decide is fine by me, too.

[elligator]

Almost no one has even come close to racking up 50 PPTs in a season, so I think a cap at $5 mil would be sufficient. It's enough to get you out a jam, but likely won't give a massive competitive advantage to anyone.
