League trade procedural matter (1 Viewer)

[bleachercreacher]

I disagree that trades are based on what happened the previous week. Trades should be made on what you think will happen the rest of the season. You knew going in that there was a 48 hour window on all trades (very bad policy). You cannot decide that you don't want to trade based on what happened week 2 since this is the yahoo policy. Having said that, it sounds like you have a lazy commish. However, you can plan on the commish putting the trade through because your previous one did if there isn't a precedent or league rule in place. IMO the trade should stand. Sounds like buyers remorse. Knowing the rules I wouldn't make a trade that wouldn't process before Sunday morning.

I honestly did not know there was a 48-hour window on trades on Yahoo. This was the first trade in the league and I hadn't done a Yahoo league for two years. It wasn't until after the trade was accepted by the other owner that I saw this delay was in place. It was unclear at that point whether the commish would approve the trade prior to Week 2 games or not, since this was never discussed. This is when I posted that the trade was meant to happen for Week 2, and that my offer was no longer good if the trade was not going to be processed until Week 3. And this was my stance prior to the game, whether Best broke out or broke his leg. This is not buyer's remorse. There were no rules in place in this league on how trades late in the week would be handled. Why do people not pay attention to the details?

I actually did pay attention to details. I took this straight from your original post:"Yahoo has an automatic 48-hour delay for trades. I remember encountering this two years ago when I did a Yahoo league with people from the same message board."

You clearly stated that you remember the 48 hour window. Now you come back and say that you remember the window after the fact. I understand that you might have meant your original post to read, "after the trade I remembered the 24 hour window". I can only base my response on what you posted. Having said that, it is still your responsibility to understand the league rules. I don't think that you can post on the message board that the trade was meant for week 2 and expect it to go through. This would have had to have been posted in the comments of the trade, and both owners would have to agree to it before the trade was accepted. No way this can be reversed IMO if I am the commish.

So if you don't care about Best why do you care if it gets processed this week?

Sounds like you want what you want regardless of what the league rules say; maybe you should set up your own league so you can set up your own rules.

i was going to post the same thing

Trade goes through. And yeah, you're just having buyer's remorse here.

It's not buyer's remorse when I stated before Sunday that the trade was meant to take place before Week 2 games or not at all. The trade is still not finalized. It is pending, and I revoked the offer.

The offer was accepted. You can't revoke a trade after the other team has accepted. You also can't have a trade accepted and then after it's been accepted put other conditions on it.Awful trade and you're making it worse by whining about it afterwords.

On top of that he is whining to a bunch of people who cannot even help him even if we agreed with him which most of us apparantly don't.

ROFLMAO

The trade rules are in effect, regardless of what you want or post to the contrary. The commish can make exceptions, but is under no obligation to. If the waiting period is 2 days, the trade should become final in 2 days, whether it is before or after the games start for that week. You say "I never ... " but in accepting the trade, and knowing your league's rules for the trade, you did. This is a non-story... play by the rules of your league.You cannot revoke the offer after it has been accepted.

OK, so then because I did not know the league's rules for the trade since there were no clearly defined league rules for trading and this was the first trade made in the league, the trade should be invalidated. Thank you for backing me up.

There's zero reason to invalidate the trade. Unless you're the owner who made the AWFUL side of it.

lmao @ this novel you expect people to read just because you want to keep best

 

[pantagrapher]

Default settings are the rule unless the rules state otherwise.

I offered a trade last week of Jahvid Best, Larry Fitzgerald and Minn for DeAngelo Williams, Dwayne Bowe and Balt.

This is where you're wrong. But it doesn't matter to you, does it? You're determined you're the only one who is right and we're all crazy drunk idiots.

Unless you are the commissioner, you have the neither the power nor the authority to do any of this. The only way there's even any argument to cancel the trade is if one of the players involved suffered a serious injury while the trade was still pending, which is not the case here. You offered the trade and it got accepted and there's no reason it shouldn't go through. In fact, if I was in this league and the trade didn't go through I would seriously question the integrity of the league and commissioner.

Pretty sure there are clearly defined rules. And they say trades have a 48-hour approval window. Of course, maybe if you keep reading you'll find the clause that reads "If one owner gets really pissy and cries about it, trades will be processed immediately." Let us know, please.

Sorry buddy, the policies regarding trades were right there for you to read. Just because the league settings page is "unclear" doesn't mean you get off the hook for it.

If I'm driving down the road and I don't know what the speed limit is, that doesn't excuse me when I get pulled over doing 55 in a 35. It's on me to know the rules - they are there if I want to find them.

The only way I would agree with you is if the rules were not public or you had no access to them. And even then, I wouldn't join a league where I didn't know the rules.

Suck it up, take it as a lesson learned and move on.
