I was looking back at the news... and I saw that the NY Yankees sold out there team... to the baltimore spacers... They recieved one 2b man that has a rating of b+ one right fielder w/ B+ and a cf that has a b rating... what they got in return was a catcher with a c rating, a 1b with a c rating and cf that has a b- but he cant hit worth shit!!!! :mad: So does anyone else see this kinda crap going on?? Now baltimore is sitting 3rd while im stuck in 5th because he somehow traded his team up... Im starting to think this site is bullshit

We'll take a look at it - if cheating did occur the teams will be banned.

It looks to simply be a bad trade - one of the owners is actually in a few Dynasty leagues and I can't imagine he would waste his time trying to cheat. I think it was just the matter of someone more experienced taking advantage of a newbie in a trade. The owner who got shafted in the deal appears to have disappeared.

Looking at NY's record it sure makes one wonder whether Baltimore is just using NY as a farmteam.

Nice job of staying alert Tysme55. I can't say whether it was cheating or not but it sure looks like it. But even if its not Baltimore should be ashamed of themselves for even accepting such a lopsided deal.Looking at NY's record it sure makes one wonder whether Baltimore is just using NY as a farmteam.

Any attempt to cheat by making lopsided trades with another owner in your league is considered cheating and your team will be deleted from the site immediately.
Without a doubt Baltimore's attempted trade with NYY is lopsided and he should be displined if not booted according to the rule.
The problem is he is a paying customer in a dynasty league which I would imagine would make it harder to boot him.

There is a difference between taking advantage of a dumb owner (what seems to have happened here) and signing up for 2 teams in the same league and using one team as a minor league squad. That is what the true definition of 'cheating' is. Big league teams make bad trades too but we don't say they cheated.

Any attempt to cheat by making lopsided trades with another owner in your league is considered cheating and your team will be deleted from the site immediately.
That is proposing or accepting a lopsided trade which is what happened here. Technically the ridicoulous trade offers Baltimore has also sent me is cheating as it is an attempt to make a lopsided trade. But whats more troubling to me than breaking the defintion of games cheating system.
In an online game like this where cheating is so easy. It is every owners duty to preserve not only thier own integrity but the integrity of the league. Besides breaking the cheating rule, enganging Baltimoren owner has violated the integrity of our league by his unethical behavior.
I don't mean to sound overly harsh. But he knew this was a lopsided trade as he knew all the trade offers he sent out were ridicoulous and one-sided. Certainly his boastfull posts don't garner him much sympathy. But putting his posts aside he knew or should have known better.
