Might not be the right forum, but here it goes. I do see a lot of posts mentioning players PA and CA, whilst I try to avoid the posts you can't help but catch glimpses of PA's and CA's of players and it's kind of annoying. So what I was suggesting would be to get people to stop posting players PA and CA's from "cheat" programs as I'm sure there's lots of people that don't want to know and would just rather use scouts in game.

Yeah if you wanna use the cheat tools, go for it, but I don't see why everyone else who doesn't want to know still see's the values from time to time. I'm not saying outright ban the people writing the players CA and/or PA, just yellow card them or whatever is deemed fair.

Anyone agree or do the majority prefer to see PA and CA of players in posts?

I agree.

Personally, I'd prefer that CA/PA and even Player Names be restricted to the Good Player Guide forum ...

... but as a practical matter, if you're going to be a GQ regular, I think you'll have to devise strategies for avoiding it - skipping those threads etc.

If you're really stringent about it, you might want to recuse yourself out of GQ - the LLM Forum frowns on player naming outright, let alone PA/CA identification, and you'll never see a PA in T&TT or FMS, either.

I view it the same as player naming, I don't want to know.

I can't remember whether it is a rule or an "unwritten rule"

I agree 100%, mate. The good player and team forum is there for this reason, and for people like us who don't wanna see this info they should be kept to that forum.

I think there is a subtle difference between people stating "player x is good as he has a CA of 20000" and many of the posts here that refer to CA/PA in order to provide some statistical basis for their argument.

In the case of the former, obviously any threads dedicated to promoting good players should be kept to the appropriate forum.

But if a players name/ability/transfer fee is needed in order to give the thread a context then i think it should be allowed in these forums.

There are bigger problems in GQ, this one may be annoying for llamas, but i suspect they make up a small percentage (well <50% anyway) of GQ'ers.

Also having just looked throught the first dozen or so posts, there are none with PA/CA listed....is it really that big a problem?

NB: not everyone uses them as "cheat tools" - look at the kipfiz (excuse spelling) experiment.
