    The issue of trading with the computer had come under some controversy is the league and I think we need to hear from all the GM's on this matter . Now Nomar tried to propose a trade with a team not currently runned by a GM . All Teams are controlled by Me , The Remaining teams are all controled by me as well, not the computer . the only difference is the teams not run by GM's settings for things such free agent signings , and coaching strategies are all done by the computer , as with the GM run teams I do it myself . As i pointed out , since all trades are between me and myself They will all be accepted unless a team is put below a minimum of players because of a trade .

    I would like some of your ideas as to weather we should allow trades but with restrictions , or ban trading with Computer-managed teams as a lot of you have already suggested

    Ban trading with the computer teams all together.

    Allow computer trades, but not draft pick trades where the object is to gain a high draft pick. Also, the majority of GMs have to approve.

    Normally, I would not be in favor of trades with the computer.

    However, if the trade is posed to all of the GMs and 2/3 approves it, then I think the trade should go through.

    Simplicity says ban them all togather. Lets go with that.

    My heart says 2/3 majority vote the day after the trade is proposed---but too many people on this board are smart and devious enough to take advantage of others.

    Trade with humans only.

    humans only, unless the computer proposes a trade to you.

    My vote is against trading with the computer. When there's a trade between two people, I figure they are both looking out for their own interests. The trade was negotiated on both sides. Therefore, the fairness of the league isn't threatened. With a human-computer trade, I feel like there is a much greater chance of one side (the computer) getting ripped off.

    The whole "majority approves" or "2/3 approves" thing seems good in theory, but it's too much work. I don't want to have to scrutinize every trade made with a computer team to make sure it is fair.

    Issues like this could perhaps be sent to the FFC. I'm sure they would know what to do. :D
