      In an effort to prevent spam posts Yahoo deletes all posts with email addresses or links to websites. It works pretty good. How many spam posts do you see in these message boards? If they didn't do it that way people would be whining about all the spam in the message boards.

        AD, I can show you plenty of message boards that have strong SPAM filters on them and yet users can still post links and/or email addresses. These filters are insanely bad. The layout is terrible as well. Sorry...no way around it. Yahoo sucks at trying to develop things on their own and that's why Fantasy Baseball updates have been slow over the years. Yahoo programmers don't know how to program / design things.

        Atomic Dumpling-----how do you respond to a League Manager who is trying to fill an empty spot in his league if you can not leave your email and have the LM send an invitation to join his league?

      They are trash. If your post has any links (that includes email addresses too) in the content it will be removed by the filtering system in about an hour or so after you posted it. Trashy system and obviously they have no idea how to fix it.

      Have been trying to join your league you have listed on the Commish Corner Board. My postings have been deleted as well. Reason---Yahoo deletes postings with emails, phone numbers, personal info. Left you a message with my contact info if you can interpret it. Had to be vague. The h is for "anti cold mail". Would like to join your league. Liked everything on your posting. NO DRAMA works great for me. I play fantasy for the fun and good competition. Thanks, tampabayterry.

      Atomic Dumpling----you seem to be pretty knowledgeable about the different sites. Please give me some specifics as to what "features" you are talking about. I play some fantasy games on all the major sites, mainly Yahoo and ESPN, less on MSN and CBS (don't care about their market share--does not affect my fantasy enjoyment one iota). This posting has evolved into a discussion of the sites in general(which is also helpful), but the original poster was a League Manager trying to replace a manager who had dropped out of his league. If you liked his league settings and decided to join, how would you let him know and how should he contact you to extend an invitation to join his league if you can not leave your email in your response? Would it be possible for Yahoo to have ONE Board where they allow emails, or would that affect all the Boards? Thanks.
