    The commissioner in my league entered his buddy into the pool without the guy knowing, drafted his team(a couple questionable picks in the early rounds) and made all his roster changes throughout the season, refused trades etc. The guy still doesn't know. How serious a transgression do people think that is?
    That's worth ending the friendship over if I'm his "buddy" or if you have a real team in the league.

At least this way the rest of you could somewhat fairly finish off the season.
    This is genius.

    The *ONLY* way I'm ok with this is if this is how it should have been set up from the get go, and there's proof of that. Otherwise, major foul.

    Glad he changed it back, but the Rubicon has been crossed. You can never have full faith in this commissioner ever again. I've left careers over things like this. If you don't feel like you can trust those who hold power, there really is no point in participating.

    I shared this thread with him and he has changed it back.
    Glad to hear it was changed back.

    If the league is otherwise well managed and you enjoy it I would be inclined to forgive (not forget) and move on. It is entirely possible that he did misset the settings, having never checked them as this issue never came up before and that in his heart of hearts the Commissioner thought the settings he changed to were what "everyone agreed to". Since he realized the error of his ways and reversed it the damage is minimal. Commissioner is a thankless job and although this was a major foul "everybody gets one" as Spiderman says...

    Also this is a good time to go thru all league settings to make sure they are what you expect and to state that he cannot make any changes going forward.
