Has anyone ever heard of a commish editing rosters

Due to a player being a late scratch? Is this really a thing?
A rule was passed to prevent tanking in a dynasty league. This is to prevent people from playing people who aren't going to play in that weeks game just to lose and score as few points as possible.
Now the rule is also incorporating players who are late scratches.
An example of it happened with the #2 seeded team currently in the league. He had a late scratch at RB and he stayed in his line up. Now commish is replacing his late scratch with a back who scored 29.9 points that week.
That could potentially change the standings and the overall points league (which a person wins money for if the score the most points during the season).
How in the hell is altering line ups for a late scratch the same as tanking?

That's bs. It's up to each player to adjust their own lineup. Have a rule that punishes the offending team harshly to prevent future problems.

If they have an incomplete line-up, the position(s) that are OUT/Inactive will be replaced by a player of the same position who has the most projected score, regardless if they have played or not, on their bench. if it's a FLEX player, highest flex eligible projection goes in.
Completely transparent and a simple standard. We can't tell people who to play in their line-up but we can enforce a full active line-up. That's the only way.
Sorry, but that's how it'll be. In a dynasty league things are different. The editing the line-up thing is over-started, IMO. It's completely transparent of who will be replaced before it's even brought up.
ETA - It was stated at the draft that every line-up had to be 100% active. Sure, there were a few weeks where we didn't edit it, but that's based on not noticing. I haven't looked at every roster each week. If it's brought up, I'll make the change.

Yuuuuuuuuup, fell victim to this in one of my leagues a few weeks ago.
My opponent left Matt Jones (Who was ruled out on the Friday beforehand) in and Matt Asiata on the bench. Redskins had the noon game that day so Jones was locked in at flex, around 1 or so, I checked it and Matt Asiata was in. Commish switched it out for him and Asiata's 8 or whatever points ended up costing me the game. To top it off, I would have secured a bye this week because I'd be 9-3 and not 8-4 right now.

As long as that is the rule and it's known and transparent to the entire legaue, than I think it's fine. However, in my opinion, I don't think commissioners should replace late scratches UNLESS the person texts/emails prior to the game starting asking them to do so because they aren't at a computer or something like that.
But again, if that's the way your league is played than that's how it is. Nothing fishy about it. I would say that if the commissioner does do this type of thing, there should be some penalty to the player or some limit on the times he'll do it before booting that person. Because it's no fun to play in a league where people just don't set their lineup.

Got a tough choice between two WRs? Just bench them both and the commish will start the better one.

This is the stupidest shite in the world. Tanking is one thing, but having a late scratch get edited and entered is complete BS. Dumbest thing I've ever heard of.

If this is the case, than you need to go back and fix it in every instance. Can't do it sometimes and not others. Shouldn't be hard to go back and change it. Hopefully it doesn't impact results, but that's why you need to stay completely on top of it if you have a rule like this.

Or the one with the highest projection..like I clearly stated in the post.

Of course and it will be done.

I feel differently, but I get where you're coming from. I think the pros far outweigh the cons.

And Ethan 100% shouldn't be running a league. You just make shite up as you go along and tell people to go frick themselves when they don't agree.

The rule is pretty straightforward. It's not like the commissioner is hand picking their roster.
I think the only catch for me is the late scratch part. I understand that having all owners field a complete team every week is paramount for league quality and equality, but late scratches are part of the dynamics of fantasy football; sometimes you take calculated risks involving players with questionable designations going into game day, especially later contests. Rules are rules though, that is what votes are for.

The late scratch part is the only part I'm talking about.
It could potentially change the results of a game, play seeding, as well as other things. Its part of the game.
And it's not voted on..just all of a sudden becomes a thing with 1 week of the regular season left.

It was discussed at the draft. Absolute rule was 100% active roster

Then how come when I had a late scratch week 1, and even mentioned it on more than one occasion nothing was done?
Its becoming a issue now only bc people are worried about draft picks.

I was unaware of that until now

Charles also brought it up multiple times when he played me. He was told "it was no big deal" because he won the game.
Posted on 11/28/16 at 5:46 pm to Hold That Tiger 10
There is zero consistency...rules are made up as we go. Line ups are changed, rosters are changed, and we are told to frick off when we bring it up.
Posted on 11/28/16 at 5:53 pm to Hold That Tiger 10
Having a 100% active roster can consist of late scratches. If you play a player who may or may not play then that's on you. If a player gets sick, or slips on a rock and gets hurt before the game then that's just shite luck.
Its awarding shitty managers in some cases.
This league has become more about the dumb arse draft picks than actually winning.
