Trade Complaint

[Admin]

There has been an abuse report on a recent trade:
Trade #225 has been completed between the Chicago South Side Hit Men and the Chicago Clubbers. The Chicago Clubbers receive Buster Flood, Newt Leach, Jan Hammer from the Chicago South Side Hit Men in exchange for Dave Burke, Joe Malone, Vern Miller.

If 3 complaints are not received in the next 72 hours, the matter will be considered closed. To lodge a complaint, please visit http://www.simdynasty.com/tradevote.jsp?tradeid=225&newsid=10415.

I ask that you refrain from discussing trades. Nothing positive ever comes from this. Anyone discussing any trades publicly may have their posting privileges revoked.

So if you feel this complaint is without merit, please simply vote to allow the trade to stand.

IMPORTANT: Please remember that not all trades are equal, and not all inequal trades should be overturned. A trade should only be overturned if there is bad faith on the part of one or both of the teams involved. If both teams get something they need out of the trade and neither party is taking advantage of an unaware trading partner, the trade should stand. Overturning a trade may not be used as a strategic option.

If either of the two owners involved in this deal would like to comment on the deal, please reply to this thread stating the facts or reasons for this trade without emotion or being argumentative.

This is ridiculous. 3 evenly rated players traded for 3 equally rated players. Going forward I will veto all other trades as there is no logic and what an acceptable trade is.

Ah, it's okay. This is good. I'm going to do just two things. No. 1, I am going to ask you to look at the trade that is being protested and then vote whether or not it is an illegal trade. No instructions from the judge or anyone. Just look at the trade and say, Yes that trade should be protested and I am spitting mad or No that trade should never have been protested.
If you conclude yes, you like these trades being protested, then good luck with your banana republic league where one guy nixes any trade he wants to nix. Just go ahead and decide for everyone how the game is to be played.
But the game that I signed up to play says that trading is a legal maneuver and, in fact, protesting trades because of some bias is against the rules. Some people have nothing better to do than protest other people's trades, and I have nothing better to do than defend myself. So the second thing I am going to do is ask Chris to audit these two protests. Just ask him to look them over. And then I am going to say, Is this what we are doing? And Chris is going to say no.
I did not think there was anything wrong with the initial trade but seven of you voted otherwise with no argument from me. I am disappointed that more of you voted against me than read my rationale for the trade. Says two of you looked at that. Okay. But I complied and altered the trade so that it would suit everyone and it gets protested again.
Look at it and tell me why.
