Waiver wire etiquette

Regular season is done. 14 team league and top 6 are in the playoffs, teams 7-14 in a consulation bracket that has no payout (except bragging rights I guess).
I thought there was an unwritten rule that people not in the playoffs stay off the waiver wire. I sent a message on the message board saying this (commissioner is good at collecting $ and being a general hardass, but not well versed in the smaller nuisances of fantasy football).
Of course, this week there are multiple pickups off the WW by teams not in the playoffs.
Do I have a legitimate gripe or not?

No, you do not have a legitimate gripe. It's a fair play for them to play it until the end of the season. You might have a legitimate gripe if players were being traded from non playoff teams to playoff teams as that might suggest collusion.

Agree 100% especially if they're just playing for bragging rights in a money league. In my league our commissioner manually sets the match-ups so the non-playoff teams are left with byes.
Which is another good reason to make each add/drop transaction worth something like $1-2 dollars. Keeps the non-playoff teams from picking up players and spending money

So they should just roll over and quit? Sounds like you're being a punk arse whiner.

Why should you have less competition for waiver claims? If your opponents are better situated than you are, that's your problem. Stop your whining.

You have a right to be mad but not the reason you think

legitimate gripe
As long as the have match ups why should they stop? Sounds like you're just mad someone picked up someone you wanted.
Much better than the team in week 5 that stop setting his lineup for the rest of the year and has 3 guys injured.

Id be in favor of fantasy sports providers locking OUT people just like they lock IN playoff spots. You've had all season to not suck, and you havent taken advantage of it... now, your "pride" makes you pilfer the WW. Im not a fan of it honestly.
Not unfair, just douchey

Don't gripe. I knew I would be in the playoffs a couple weeks ago in my leagues and set myself up accordingly. Picked up the Ds I want to play according to matchups and handcuffed the rbs I could.

If yall dont like it, make a rule against it, or simply change the consolation bracket setup to have everyone playing for last place, then everyone still in it has a reason to use the ww. Also add transaction fes. .50 or $1 per move.
