If you join a league full of strangers (even the Commish)... would you rather the Commish to have the power to Approve or Reject; or have a Vote to it.

There should be a 4th option in the poll...only trades where there is collusion should be rejected.

Good Point; Buts thats another issue... I'm talking when you sign up up for a league.

I would rather just have the commish accept/reject with the caveat that the league can over turn a trade if it is extremely one-sided or smells of collusion.
I have found that league wide voting overall tends towards the judgement that one side may or may not have the better half of the deal. Often this goes too much to a simple is the relative value of this player or that one w/o a good look at roster structure. When variables such as dynasty, contracts and salary caps are included it becomes even harder to judge what is "fair value"

I think that falls under the "only Commish approves or rejects" class

League votes are the single dumbest thing in fantasy football. I've seen (or heard) all too many times a trade get voted down because it is viewed to be heavily one-sided toward side A, but then moving forward the players that side B would have gotten go off the next few weeks and now that owner has been c*ck-blocked by a bunch of ignorant owners who should have no say in the decisions he makes for his team.
Unless a trade is something similar to Peyton Manning for Charlie Frye and Brandon Lloyd ..... keep your meddling nose out of other owners' business.
I will play in PPR leagues, no TE leagues, total point rather then head-to-head leagues, keeper leagues, non-keeper leagues, dynasty leagues, IDP leagues, return-yards-count leagues, etc, etc. The one league I will never play in is a league where rival owners get to vote to veto trades that other grown men agree to. If the trade is collusion ..... the commissioner will handle it.

commissioners should not have that power unless it is collision, they are owners to. get solid, trustworthy owners and you will not have any problems

When it comes to money leagues.... it has too be commisher approval.
The 2nd time I was in a money league; it was a CBS league that required 50% of the league to veto.
Heres what happened; One trade got veto... those owners got pissed and had a vendenta against the league. Another Trade got veto and they got pissed. Too make a long story short... by mid-season; no one was allowed to make trades because the too many people had vendentas against their own veto trades.
After that; I said never again.
Also; every league has those owners who will veto anything. Any trade, reject every trade offer, any change to their perfect little world and their all against it.

I didn't vote because the right option is missing

I did not vote.
I would not join a league that does not allow members to run their own team as they see fit.
I commish a league and I will never overturn a trade. Period. I really don't care how lopsided it may appear to me, it obviously is what those owners want to do. Owners do not have veto privaledges either. Allowing adults to manage their own teams and to not be subjected to the whims and fancies of other owners (or a commissioner) is the only way to go. Every FF'er has their own view of the value of a player and who am I to say my valuation of that player is any more correct than the next guy?

Its not in this poll because most leagues that have Commish only Approval/Rejection run this way. I commish 3 money leagues and countless yahoo league in the past 3 or 4 yrs and I have never once rejected a trade. There was only one trade I questioned in that time and what I did was ask the league to send me votes/thoughts about it in 2 days time... in the end; over half the league felt it wasn't collusion and that the trade should go though. That how I run things and that why I fell that the "4th option" falls into the Commish Approval. I totally agree with you 2 that the only job that the Commish should have in this is to press the button that says "yes, allow the Trade" unless its clear collusion... that is what I meant bye the 1st option.
