re: how should trade vetoes be handled?

Trade vetoing for retaliation violates the spirit of fantasy football. This is how we handle trades and other issues.

The league has a commissioner's committee. The commissioner's committee consists of the commissioner and two senior members of the league--of which I am one. Trades are presented to the commissioner who approves or rejects them after advice and consent from the other members of the commissioner's committee (majority of committee rules). If the trade involves a member of the commissioner's committee, the other two make the decision. If the trade involves two members of the committee, we have an alternate selected prior to the beginning of the season.

No trade is rejected unless it violates a rule or collusion is strongly suspected. If there is evidence of collusion, the perpetrators are banned from the league for life and normally within a short time end up leaving employment with our company (all of the league members are current or former employees).

This system takes the heat off the commissioner who is doing a lot of shite work for free. The other members of the commissioner's committee have both been in the league for 17 seasons and no one would ever question their decisions.

Bottom line, vetoing for retaliation is a jerk move. End it.
