I'm serious, if this shite changes, I'll have 50 fricking people on my roster the rest of the season and ask that it be allowed because I went to bed too early to fix it.
You don't see the difference between someone mistakenly forgetting to drop someone which didn't affect a single thing stat wise & someone intentionally keeping 50 players?
This is beyond retarded.

Rick my lineup was fine before any game was even played.
its not like having 50 people on your rosters or any other stupid as theory you can think of

No, it's a perfect example. Yeah some get off with warnings. Some really didn't realize they were going 5 over. If the cop gives them a ticket the fact that its an honest mistake doesnt matter. That is magnified with these stupid arse speed cameras now.
you are just giving one example though, and either way it's a judgement call on the cop.
say you have an agreement with your kid to come home at 11:00 - both of you know that this is a rule set in stone - and one night he gets in at 11:05 and has a good explanation, are you going to try to hear him out and make an acception or are you just going to punish him no matter what?

i just wanted to drop in and say that you cant add extra players to your roster so the whole 50 person thing is a MUTE point

If he can bend the rule because he can't get out of bed, why can't I make up some random excuse to bend the rule to? This is what redd is alluding to.
the thing is that his player didn't make an umpact - if he was in the starting lineup or something then i would be totally against it. there is no harm in correcting something like this or future issues that are like this. this wasn't just about an illegal lineup. his trade went through and he forgot to drop someone. i would be willing to give anyone else a pass and i doubt it happens alot after this.

You let one person do this shite and the league is on the hook for the rest of its existence in letting people say they woke up late. You say no the first time and its never an issue.
again who really gives a shite if it doesn't give him an unfair advantage? it would be one thing if he didn't drop the player until the next day and it prevented someone from picking him up. this had 0 affect on anyone. i think some of you are just trying to prove a point that really isn't there..."something bad could happen in the future..." give me an example - so far i haven't had 1 legit example of how this could lead to something bad.

He better call me before 11 and have a damn good explanation. Afterwards isn't really acceptable.
what if he doesn't have access to a phone? you have no choice but to listen unless you're just being a dick.
that's my point - you can have rules and you can still enforce them, but there are instances where you can use common sense and make an acception.

there is no random excuse
if u make your lineup playable within that 5 minute window of the lineups locking and the games starting, then i would give any benefit of the doubt to you too.
it's not about the fricking excuse. or what i was doing that morning

I knew that you would show up just to say this. It's not a shock at all.
You still haven't done anything other than say that it should stand just because. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to sit back and let you guys make these stupid arguments without backing them up.

I already told you that by allowing someone to get away with something that is IN THE RULE BOOK, you are allowing EVERY SINGLE RULE IN THE CONSTITUTION to be re-judged. I also said that I will go with whatever decision is made and not bitch about it regardless. I was just giving my opinion on the situation. Nothing more, nothing less. You seem to be the one all gung-ho about this. I've already let it go.

Uhh, didn't you just randomly show up just to post "I thought you were done"? I don't think I've been a dick to anyone, but since we disagree on something I'm the bad guy. I get it.

Yeah but that's just not true. If something else happens where there is intent to do wrong, no unfair advantage, and no harm done to any other team then I would be willing to let that go too because really what is the harm? This would be totally different if Les somehow benifited from this. He didn't. This isn't just an illegal lineup issue - his lineup was legal until his trade went through. It was an honest mistake and I can see that. I don't know why some of you cant, and until you provide specifics as to what can happen in the future, don't use that as the foundation of your argument.

I've already agreed to this as well. For the 9th time, I told LE that I would have agreed to give him the points if I were playing him. I stand by that.
But, as a commissioner for ten years in various fantasy leagues, I have seen serious shite happen because of interpretation issues with the rules. shite that I never would have seen if the written rules were merely followed. Is this a different circumstance? Sure. They are all. But where do we draw the line?

Port I mentioned to you an instance where I would have like to have had an additional player on my roster for only a matter of 2 or so hours.
I didnt because it was against this very rule.
because the player added no benefit to his team is of no sonsequence.
You keep saying I havent made arguemnts to back up my claims and I go back and read pages and pages of me NOT being biased and NOT opting for the decision that helps me. The arguements are based in fact not opinion.
YOU guys are the one assigning bias to this shite.
The only resolution is to adhere to the rules we've all been held to for 3+ years.
I feel that sticking to what the rule is sets a good precedent. In the future if anyone has a rule to call into question we can without hesitance say, think back to when Marle had the line up issue and how insignificant and inadvertant that was...he was held to the rule...so that will be the standard.
The appropriate action on Les' part would have been to say., "Hey I feel that this rule that we've all used for 3+ years needs to be re-addressed....Lets talk about adding verbiage to allow for leniency or decide if the black and white letter of the law should be used"

naw, im not looking to change any rules.
my lineup was legal before any games started. i dont see how any rule would change in the future if i was allowed my stats unless someone would be Oh so lucky to realize something was wrong in that 5 minute window
