if you don't make the playoffs do you adjust your roster any?

It is a pretty bs move unless the losers bracket means something (draft position, penalty for finishing last, etc).

Everyone in our league that isnt playing for anything cant make a move.
I do a high/low league. Top 8 in playoffs. Top 4 advance. Bottom 4 compete in a "playoffs" for draft positions.
So right now top 4 in championship round, and finally 2 in the non-playoff playoffs can make moves. The other 6 can't.

If you’re out of the playoffs you shouldn’t be adding anyone from waivers.
I set my team though...mostly just because.

If you have nothing to play for you shouldn't be able to add anyone off of waivers.

I think it's ok to make waiver adds if you're making a legitimate pickup to help your team win, because, hey, you should still try to win your matchup. But I don't think it's ok to make moves just to screw over someone who's in the playoffs.
E.g. if you're not in the playoffs and own Wentz, I think it's fine to put a claim in for a QB. But if the Wentz owner is in the playoffs, I don't think it's ok to put in claims for a bunch of QBs just to keep them from that guy.

Last week a guy out of the playoffs picked up Morris over me. I was pissed

It’s completely uncalled for and unnecessary
There is nothing anyone can say to me to justify teams not in contention, making roster moves.. complete BS... it’s a good way to have good owners leave your league. Sort of bush league to make moves to block teams that are in the playoffs

100% agree

Disagree.
I think it’s absurd to reduce the waiver pool down to four, then two teams. It rewards shite planning. If you didn’t roster your handcuff or plan ahead for defensive matchups, why should you now have practically zero competition for waiver claims? And if you’re the lower seed in the finals, you just get unfettered access to the top waiver claim?
I agree that non playoff teams shouldn’t be allowed to stack their benches to spite playoff teams, but if they pick up someone to start? No issue whatsoever.

I will refrain from adding anyone on waivers if im eliminated, but after that, it's free game. I want to hang Ls on contending teams

I just blew the rest of my faab outbreak on Zach Mettenberger, I dropped Cowboys D that has no business being owned going forward anyway

I understand that this is a subjective situation, but it’s absolutely pointless for someone to scoop up a player when they have nothing to play for, just to spite another team that’s in the playoffs
same thing with trades, teams that are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, or out of the playoffs have no business making transactions

I don't agree with this line of thinking - especially not with teams that are mathematically eliminated.
So if a guy gets eliminated from playoff contention in let's say, week 11, that guy should be prohibited from making moves to have his best lineup going forward? What if his last 2 games are against teams that are otherwise fighting for a playoff spot. He's supposed to not try and start his best team and give that team an easier win? Screw that, everyone should be playing to win all of their games during the regular season. If for nothing else than the fact that the outcome of their games impact the rest of the league. I don't want my contender picking up free wins because an eliminated guy isn't allowed to stream Defs or TEs or whatever so he's forced to lay an egg.
Also,

I pretty much agree with this line of thinking. Like I said in a post above, there's nothing wrong with making moves to have your best team. But it's not ok to make moves just to screw over a playoff team.

This year we extended 25$ high week thru the whole season including losers bracket. So we technicaly have something to play for in losers bracket. SuRe enough high week payout came out of losers bracket this week.

I think you misunderstood what I meant
YES, you are SUPPOSED TO set your lineup, whether you’re in contention or not
but NO, you aren’t allowed to pick up players off of waivers or make trades

I can sort of understand this, so make the cutoff when the playoffs start for teams who are out

That’s why I’d rather leagues that don’t do a waiver order, but instead each team gets $100 dollars to use for bidding on free agents

No I understand your point. But I'm saying that rule right there prohibits a team from setting their best lineup. What if it's a guy that typically streams QBs and DEFs and only keeps one of each on his roster at a time. He gets eliminated from the playoffs and now he's forced to start the same QB and DEF every week, regardless of matchup. Not allowing that guy to continue to make waiver claims prohibits him from starting his best team. And that would have a huge impact on his ability to win those games, and gives the people going up against him easier wins. I don't want that scenario to be what eliminates me from the playoffs or gets me a lower seed.
ETA: I see your edit addressed this point. I didn't notice it until after I posted.

I think we both make logical points. I guess it’s just a matter of league opinion 
Posted on 12/12/17 at 5:27 pm to Mr. Hangover
People need to play to the end no matter if they're in contention or not. For the integrity of the league. If certain teams give up then that allows other teams an advantage that they should not have.
So all teams should stay a hundred percent engaged till the end.
That's also why we have a pretty substantial toilet bowl prize. Keeps everybody playing to the end.
We also double our kitty transaction fees after the trade deadline. So it weeds some of this stuff out.
