Don't allow that person in your League. Problem solved.
For the sake of this post, I suggest 30 players as the cutoff point. I've had my teams down in the low 30's on rare occasions that I forget to sign expiring contracts.
Obviously you dont want a person like that in your league but when you dont realize what a problem an owner is beforehand.....and he slashes out and cuts the entire roster then abandons his team out of some sort of malicious attenpt to purposely damage a league.......a league admin should at the very least recieve some sort of notification that team "A" in league "B" is cutting 46 players during this sim and not signing any free agents......when this happens during week 15 of the season there is no rational explanation.
Then you contact JDB to fix the problem and your league is delayed for a few days while it is pushed back to the previous sim.
The bigger issue is nothing is done to that owner. Ive read the code of conduct thread multiple times but it has no teeth because basically I was told.....I know he is an a$$, most owners know he is an a$$ and if I bar him from the game he will just sign up with a different user name. He has a reputation so most owners wont deal with him.
For me, public leagues are pretty much dead, why invest time into a league that someone like that can join on a whim and mess with teams without any fear of consequences.
Honestly, I got the impression, I was free to retaliate in kind to his leagues because nothing will be done but I am not built like that. I wouldnt attack a league and cause problems for owners that have nothing to do with anything.
A thread was started, argued then locked without my knowledge until after it became locked to delay another league because of what happened to my league because the individual that sabotaged my league was admin of the other league. While I understand why an upset owner posted that, I never wanted that to happen and would have put a stop to it if I became aware of it fast enough. I was in the middle of an allocation draft and to be honest, I rarely check the suggetion box forum. Making a league of owners suffer consequences for the actions of one individual is wrong and not something I would endorse.
The only weapon I can use against someone like that is to ignore him and not allow him into any of my leagues. Im here to have fun, compete against some great owners and hopefully win.
This game is only as good as the owners you compete against. In my leagues, I try to build a sense of community, built on competition and sportsmanship.
