This thread took a nice turn: lots of good suggestions offered.

This is why we have a toilet bowl in my league. While the playoffs are going on, for every team that doesn't make the playoffs we take their cumulative score for the three week playoff period, and high score gets their entry money ($100) back.

We don't have a toilet bowl, but do have weekely payouts for high team & high player - hit both of these a couple of times & you win your entry back. I'm really blessed in that I have a great group of guys in this league & don't even worry about this kind of thing.Besides the weekly payouts for good performances, you may want to add weekly penalties also for bad scores. I think either or both would be much more effective than moving the trade deadline.As for the trade itself, I don't think it's all that bad (certainly seen worse posted here in the last couple of weeks).

H2H league and we knock down the entry fee a bit and charge weekly loser fees. You lose your H2H game, you add to the pot.

In most "friends" leagues this would be good. In a league where I didn't know everyone & bailing is more realistic, I might leave the entry fee high to at least partly cover any potential penaties then issue a refund if the extra isn't used.

Does anyone have an opinion about the bottom 1/3 of league after week 5/6/7 having to obtain league votes to pass through a trade?

You mean does anyone have an opinion about letting the teams with better records control the trades of teams with worse records? Yes. The idea stinks.
