League Member Claims he accepted a Trade by Mistake (1 Viewer)

This is one of only 2 leagues I play in where I don't Commish...

This trade just ruined one team and jacked up another.

The Trade was Britt/Morgan for Dallas Clark, 1 PPR. The Team that had Dallas Clark was #4 in pts and was clearly going into the Playoffs, the other team lost his TE and has been begging people to send him one... and this guy send terrible offers. He kept sending me Sweed for my Reggie Wayne, only to finally cut Sweed. The guy is also the Commissioner.

Anyway, the poor guy thought he was accepting another trade and not this piece; he hit accept.

He then later cameback to the site, announced it was a mistake on the message board.

Since then 5 of the 14 teams have protested the trade... trade deadline is this Thursday. The guy wrote an email to the commissioner and this was the response

"Sorry man but you cant do that, I gave up Vernon Davis for Britt straight up 2 weeks ago, and had

several offers for Britt on the table that I rejected once our deal was done that are no longer on there

for me, and I am gone for the week and wont be back until the weekend, with the trade deadline this

thursday makes it something I will not reverse, since I cant go back or make another deal now that I am

gone.. You cant change your mind with this stuff simple as as that bro, and I am not willing to reverse,

so please dont ask or make a big deal out of it. Britt's value alone is that of a top TE and you got

Morgan as an added push.. Had Cooley not got hurt I would not have given you Britt for Clark, but it is

done, and I am gone on a business trip for the week."

As Commissioner of the league, I would and have in the past, reverse the deal... especially since it cripples a members team and the guy is pleading to have it undone.

Any thoughts.... anyone feel that the commish just doesn't want to undo it because he knows he raped this poor guy.

I had a league member do the same thing. He posted right away that he made a mistake and emailed me and the other owner. I went in and reversed the trade. If he doesn't reverse the deal, it's a sign to leave the league.

 
Your league should have a rule in place for mistakes....say 10 minutes. You said, "He then later cameback to the site, announced it was a mistake". How long was it that he posted it was a mistake? If it was more than a few minutes I say it's more buyers remorse than anything else and the trade should stand. You can't have owners coming back too much later saying it was a mistake. That would be ridiculous.

What a loser, seriously. Is it worth the league disbanding over? IN what world is Britt worth a top TE? Dynasty? I doubt it.

 
Commish screwed the guy Britt/Morgan together cant hold Clarks jock. that trade was awefull. It should never go threw.

 
If this is dynasty, then the trade is far from a bad one. If Redraft, then yeah, it's a raping.

But I'll agree that unless the guy claimed the mistake immediately, then it's his own damn fault.

 
1. technically the Commish is correct, and well within his rights to keep the player.

2. the Commish is an absolute doosh and should either be kicked out of the league or the rest of the league should quit.

3. any time a Commish says "don't make a big deal out of it", you KNOW something is up.

4. who the hell is this Britt guy anyway???

 
In either dynasty or redraft that is a horrible trade. That the owner immediately came in claiming MISTAKE I would reverse it.

In what crazy work is Britt wortha top TE. He isn't worth a TE 15-20 really, well maybe in dynasty.

 
The commissioner might be delusional. Sadly, I magine the guy will only increase his rediculous trade offers hoping for someone else to accidently accept.

 
I agree that it depends on how long it took the guy to realize the mistake. If he immediately asked to have the trade reversed then there is no question the commish should reverse it. If he waited until the other teams started rejecting the trade and calling him an idiot then he deserves it and I would let it stand IF the other team involved was not the commish.

If I were the commish and it was my team I would reverse it because I don't think it is worth the hard feelings and potentially screwing up the league.

I'm not sure what communications there were afterwards, but is a couple of hours after the deal went down.But no one has come to the commissioners defense, 3 more members have come on and asked that it be reversed or atleast voted on.

I could see if the guy was out of the hunt, and he sold Clark for Britt... I could see that; but the guy is #4 in the league and was going in the playoffs. Now if the commish does have the right to say I'm keeping the deal... I can't agrue he doesn't, but what message does that send to everyone else? He doesn't even want to put it to vote and I firmly believe thats because it involves his team.

"This is hard to type from an iphone since I am traveling, but here it goes:

Blackfoot reviewed several trades I sent him this morning, he rejected a few, and accepted the one he

accepted, he thought about that trade for a while before he accepted because the others were

rejected right away and this one sat there for quite some time before he approved it. He had his eye

on Britt and told me he that he almost traded Celek for him a few weeks ago which prompted my

offer to him today when Cooley went down. I still have the e-mail with this comment of a offer he

was thinking about making in a Britt for Celek deal. It was all before Steeel dealt Britt to me for

Vernon Davis (a top TE) , my trade for Britt 2 weeks ago also substatiates the market value of Britt...

Blackfoot simply cant change his mind over an hour afterwards, when I have made moves and placed

waivers claims before I left for my trip as part of the trade, it is not like he asked for the reversal 5

minutes after he accepted, it was over an hour later. I am not that sort of jerk, and reversed a deal

this offseason with Killer Bears, but he told me made a mistake immediatly and I agreed to reverse

the deal, no problem. This did not happen like that, allot of time had passed, and I am sure other

teams told Blackfoot they would have given him more etc during that time .. I would have given

more for Steve Smith but KC beat me to the punch, and Curville is not asking for a reversal. Guys

chiming in here dont really know what transpired, and need to understand that the commish does

not get involved in trade evaluations of any type, and the only 2 teams that can reverse a deal are

the 2 teams involved. I understand that he now has remorse, but he simply waited to long and I

cancelled all other trades I had coming and going, put in waiver bids for tonight at the TE position

etc. Had Cooley not got hurt last week I would not have dealt Britt for any TE in the league today

since I was happy with that deal and I think Britt is a great young WR evidenced by the fact I gave up

a great TE 2 weeks ago, and that was without Josh Moran in the mix.. I am traveling, and now cant

do much with my team before the trade deadline. The rules are posted pretty clearly regarding this

matter and that is the way I am going with it. I am sorry but I hope you understand Blackfoot, we

made a deal that you liked when you accepted, and a reversal would allow you to accept another

offer for that player after the fact, and I would be stuck without being able to do anything from

where I am.

With all that said, I will lets try to resolve this issue between us tomorrow Blackfoot, please shoot me

an e-mail"

No one publicly said anything until after he made a message board topic... now did anyone email him, I don't know....
 
This is why we have a rule for this. Once the trade goes through the website, it is final. You hit accept, the website then asks you again if you want to accept. So you have to hit accept twice. Depends what the rules say, but i'd leave it alone in my league.

 
Quite honestly, this sounds like a case of buyer's remorse. As a Commissioner myself, I would undue the deal if the other owner immediately responded back that he wanted to reverse the trade, regardless of the reason. However, I think it is a dangerous precedent to reverse a trade after there has been offer and acceptance and a reasonable time has passed. Does the league website not confirm what trade you have just accepted? RTSports does confirm that, so a mistake would have been immediately identified. I would side with the COmmissioner in this instance. That being said, if I were the Commissioner, I would have offered back a deal that restored Clark to the other owner. I don't lke to be a party to any trade that leaves the other owner feeling taken advantage of . . . those types of deals, while perhaps beneficial to your team in the short-run, have a tendency to alienate you from other league owners and make future dealing difficult.

 
Was this a deal that was talked about beforehand or a cold offer? Knowing that would go a long ways in which side i'd lean towards.

That's a very good question. Never heard of the guy.This sniffs of an owner just posting bunches of bad trades hoping someone will accidently accept. But in this case, that owner is the commish. I had an owner do it a few years back. He wasn't in the league the next year.I think the league needs to band together against the commish, and protest not just this move but his obvious posting of potential bad trades.

The millennials strike again. Does everyone in you league get a trophy for participating? You have to be either stupid or careless to accept the wrong trade. The trade stands so quit whining!

 
honestly, I don't understand how so many "mistakenly" hit the accept button..how many posts like this do we see?. Heaven forbid people take responsibility for their actions. Personally, I really don't see how it is possible to hit the accept button and not mean it.

 
Mistakes happen, but it seems like this particular mistake happens way too often. There needs to be some type of punishment in place for the guy who "mistakingly" accepts the trade. Reverse the trade, and then punish Mr. Stupid by revoking his waiver wire privelages for a week..... something. You don't get a 2nd chance. Learn how to read and use a mouse.

:thumbup: These are my thoughts exactly.Agree with others that there needs to be a specific rule that determines when trades are final, and how a trade can be overturned.

Agreed, but since the team is the #4 ranked team and thus playoff bound I'm sure he would want to ride out Clark.

Commish

"Facts:

Trades and evaluations are not up for vote in this league which is clearly stated in the rules and it is

up to the 2 parties involved to work things out as stated in paragraph 4 under trades, so lobbying

efforts by owners not involved in the trade are pointless. Trade evaluations by the commish or other

owners are not a part of this league, which has worked out well over 3 years since we are all here are

experienced players and you have to hit 2 buttons in order to accept or reject a trade. The only time

there is a vote is when there is collusion, which is clearly not the case here.

The basis and market value of the Britt and Morgan for TE Clark trade is consistent with the Britt for

TE Vernon Davis trade made only a few weeks ago, so there is clearly no collusion and both teams

involved appear appear to be making an effort to improve their team now and into the future.. Both

deals involved a top 5 TE in exchange for that player, so the market value of Britt is fairly consistent,

and a deal was willingly accepted both times by the accepting owner. One player is more valuable

for the future, the other one is established etc, and it is really not for us all to judge and a key

component about how this league is set up..

Where was the mistake Blackfoot? Did you hit the "accept" button then when prompted and then

again a second time on the pop up that says "are you sure you want to ACCEPT this trade"? Or did

you simply realize that you did not want the deal and changed your mind? Either way you need to

work this out with the other team as stated in the rules, especially since other trades have happened

& waivers claimed since the deal, and with Reds out of town and the trade deadline looming makes

this even more complicated since all moves are all interconnected in an indirect way. Blackfoot needs

to work this out with Reds or another team before the trade deadline, simple as that."

Another Owner

"So I guess all of your bull#### trade offers finally paid off. Way to go Reds. Please don't send me any trade offers, ever. Thank you"

Response

"Sorry you feel that way Brownwater, and sorry you dont understand that I did not do anything wrong. I

am on the road trying to do all this from an iphone, and have sent Blackfoot 2 e-mails one last night

and another this morning in attempt to work things out, and he has yet to respond. I cant propose

trades with out a computer so he needs to communicate with me and I am willing to work with him, it is

not like I am leaving him in the dark. I am trying to work something out before I go into a meeting for

the rest of the day which I mentioned to him that in my e-mail. He has posted here since my e-mails

but he is not communicating with me so far, and I am willing to help him out as long as it is before

Thurday's trade deadline. Please remember, I did not make the "mistake" or force anyone to hit the

accept button 2 times.. Now I am in a situation where I left 45 mintues after I made the trade, and am

away, so the few guys trashing me need to realize that I have a life beyond FFL yet I am still doing my

best to make things right with Blackfoot, all from a 4 inch iphone screen."

Same Owner again

"I do understand what happened. You sent a terrible trade offer, it was accepted and now we move on. I work too, and I understand that being the commish is a thankless job that at times requires you to deal with drama. All that I am asking is that you never send me another trade offer. If you will agree to that I'm good and will move on."

Me

"You have the right to keep the player; no one can argue that you technically don't. Blackfoot made a mistake... he hit a button twice, and for what ever reason he waited about an hr and a half to contact you.

I hope you and Black can work something, because an action like this will alienate you from us and I fear that you'll be replacing the majority of us in the next couple of yrs.

Whats not right is not letting us Vote on it since so many people are upset, why not let us Vote? ...if it passes then no one can ever say anything... by not letting us atleast vote your showing that in your heart the trade was a raping and your fear that it will be undone and you'll lose your advantage.

So you do what you want... Keep the player and make your playoff push or undo the Trade and have a good standing with the league. Whats more important? "

It being dynasty and if the bolded is really what happened (hitting accept trade twice and waiting an hour and a half to try and say it was a mistake reeks of buyers remorse.The trade is pretty fair for dynasty. It's a shame that the commissioner's team is involved because I don't think it would even be half the issue that it is if it wasn't his team.

EDIT - To actually bold something...

The site is RTS and what I don't like about RTS is that you have to hit the Reject button twice just like you have to hit the Accept Button Twice... so I can see how it could confused. Guy who made the mistake

"it was a mistake i did not mean to do it...i was going to work and was in a hurry when i got to work and went to see my team i found out what i did....we vote on rule changes all the time so why not this..

so basicly i could team stack with lets just say the flock give him all my good players for his junk and say well it happen 30 mins ago so it stands

not right at all..u should be cool about it..

we vote on the rules being changed so why not this...?????

if u want to make things right like u said u should trade me back..10 of the 14 teams do think it should be reversed"

 
It's happened to me before.

I was on my honeymoon in Mexico with spotty internet and a dying laptop, and I was trying to weed through my e-mails real quick. I got a trade offer that was pretty much trash (Gore, Coffee, and Quinn, for Rice, Avery, and a 1st) and meant to reject the trade but accidentally accepted.

I then further compounded the mistake by trying to contact the commish but e-mailing the wrong person.

The trade partner ended up processing a couple other trade and I ended up having to eat the trade. Such is life.

Yikes! While techincally he is correct these postings shows why the commish should have just reversed his trade. You can see a lot of bad feelings and it is simply not worth it. The one thing I do agree with the commish is that I would not put it up to a league vote.
 
I had it happen to me.

With the commish too!

We were bouncing trade offers back and forth and I accepted one that I meant to reject.

I had looked at the pick thinking it was a first round when it was actually a 2nd.

I immediately emailed the commish and two other members of the league.

The commish gladly reversed it as he said "I didn't think you were going to go for that!".

I appreciated it and would do the same for anyone else but I agree there needs to be a time limit.

 
It really sounds like the Commish is just doing his job by upholding the rules of the league. If you start bending some rules, where does it end? According to your rules, it's up to the parties involved to work it out. Nobody else should be involved. It sounds like the Commish is willing to talk to the guy but is getting no response, even though the guy who made the mistake is posting messages on the message board to try to get the support of the league to override the rules.

If the Commish does reverse the trade, Clark should be frozen on the other guy's roster for the remainder of the year. He should not get the benefit of making a better trade to someone else.

 
We had a guy in my league a few years back that did a similar thing - every week he would literally send out dozens of garbage trade offers. I guess his thinking was that for each offer there may be a 0.5% chance that the owner will accidently accept it, and unbelievably it actually worked. Trade was accepted, the victim immediately protested, trade was reversed, end of story. That season made me wish that there was an 'ignore' feature for other owners' trade offers. If I was in a league where the commish refused to reverse a trade like this, then it would be my last year with that league

 
The other guy should trade all his best players to the Commissioner's top rival, and then tell the Commish "Don't ask or make a big deal out of it."

Absolutely - the league would be opening up Pandora's box if they move to a league vote.
 
The bottom line is that if you don't hold people accountable for their mistakes they will continue to make them. The attitude that everyone makes mistakes so give him a break is a big part of the ####ification on America.

If you are not capable of using the league software you shouldn't be playing.

 
Skimming this thread, it's probably a case of buyer's regret. Even so, I think the Commish is making a big mistake in not offering Dallas Clark for the exact same players back. Probably the worst possible thing you can do as a commissioner is do something that alienates you from the rest of the league. The commish is clearly doing that here and it can ruin a league.

Maybe he's going somewhere without the 'interwebs.' Does he do missionary work?In seriousness, isn't it the Commish's job to keep the league fair and competitive? What a joke. It was an obvious mistake and should be reversed.

let me guess, the guy who made the mistake is a Democrat(he's a victim) and the big mean commish is a Republican(believes is personal responsibility)

Its dynasty....

"You have the right to keep the player; no one can argue that you technically don't. Blackfoot made a mistake... he hit a button twice, and for what ever reason he waited about an hr and a half to contact you.

It being dynasty and if the bolded is really what happened (hitting accept trade twice and waiting an hour and a half to try and say it was a mistake reeks of buyers remorse.The trade is pretty fair for dynasty. It's a shame that the commissioner's team is involved because I don't think it would even be half the issue that it is if it wasn't his team.

I honestly don't think the Commish should reverse it or be punished for not doing so by the other owners. I begrudgingly see trades every year in every league that scream lopsided to me and rather than yell about their unfair nature, think to myself that I could've had a sweetheart deal too if I had been as proactive.

It would've been one thing if the other own immediately realized his mistake and sent a leaguewide email within minutes. But hours later? Too bad IMHO.

 
This happen between 2 owners in a dynasty league I run. They worked it out and reversed it themselves. I never got involved

The guy said thought he accepted another trade, went to work... check his email later and saw what happened. I talked to this guys for 3 yrs since the league opened and I believe him.Oh yeah, the guy just completed the following dealHe gave Cotch / Bradshaw / Britt for Wayne / Mason / Gates
