Thanks for your comments. Actually, although not the point of Laura on the page, it is a nice side effect, as I don't WANT the owners who won't take the time to look into the league. If you're going to be that shallow and not research the league, odds are there are going to be other situations when time is required that you're not willing to put in. And although you think I fight it, I do in one sense, and embrace it in another. I make my league in a way so people who really look into it would find it interesting, but the casual lookers will be turned away. It tries to ensure actual loyalty to the league, and high activity. I have a hidden message in my rules that people need to find before I let them join to ensure they've read the rules... all this to weed out bad seeds.  On the flip side, grammar, punctuation, etc. DO play a part in my selection process. Even your AIM name can affect things. People who use random capitals and have names that are spelt incorrectly, whether on purpose or not, are usually, not always but usually, at a lower level of intellect than many others. Do I weigh everything on this? No, of course I talk to the person. But there are always trends. I have a thorough application that not only tells me a lot about the owners, but it's pretty long, and tells me how much effort people put in. You wouldn't believe how many incomplete applications I essentially disregard. Individuals without a lengthy bio is one thing I look at as bad, and another, although people don't realize it, is when I say "list teams in order of preference" they site "any." There aren't usually more than 2 or 3 available, and this says to me that they were too lazy to look into the teams to see which they would actually want. There are many subtle points in a simple application which can tell a commissioner a lot about you, so my advice is when applying, one should fill them out thoroughly.
