Online leagues and ghosting

This is not a new issue this has been going on in online leagues for a longtime - but I wanted to try and make a plea for all prospective "GM's" to understand...

ALL online leagues take time and possibly cost - The commish puts both of those into creating a league with the hopes he can find enough people to fill it. Fair enough that is the idea....

But what is happening more frequently is people signing up for a league and just bailing before it even starts.... This is not cool.....

There are plenty of leagues - one for every kind of player (fictional, historical etc.) so you can be selective and chose whatever you like - Read the rules understand what is involved and then if you are satisfied join. There is no reason to join and say I did not know, i got bored, etc...

Most leagues want people who plan to make a commitment not just kicking the tires... LIfe happens, stuff goes on and people have to leave leagues all the time - that is all good and part of the deal

BUT IF YOU JOIN and cannot stay please let someone know this is all fantasy stuff so it is not real life but we should all be decent enough to just tell the commish you want to go - or better yet - think about it before saying you will join,
