Any of you ever dealt with people with multiple accounts in the same league just so they can move players from one team to the other? They have a link to report cheaters, but all they do is send you the same old auto reply saying they've "investigated" it and they aren't going to do anything. I guess this is what I should expect since Yahoo is free.

Free leagues, no punishment. I'm not sure if they treat their PLUS leagues differently, but hey, if you got to cheat to win, you SUCK! I was killing everybody in a baseball custom league last year thanx to Ryan Howard, Reyes, Wright, & Beltran. Yeah, I had three of the Met studs on my team. Anyway, I was offered a "bogus" trade of (Sabathia & Blalock & Jason Lane FOR Howard & Kazmir), and I told the guy to get real. The other guy was the commish, and he locked me out, dumped all my players, and added all the studs to his team. Funny thing is, he still LOST, LOL! Loser! The only way to stay away from that is to make your own leagues, or stay in the public leagues. I was told that Yahoo! wants to make a rating system for managers where you vote whether the manager is honest/dishonest! I've ran leagues for 7 years now, and I've finished last in one and never cared, mostly b/c they're free. My friends & I play all the time, but if it involves any money, we play in our own league!
It also irritates me when ppl don't watch over they're team after the draft & during the season. I hate inactive owners! 9 times out of 10 a terrible trade will be pending, but there's not enough veto votes b/c half the managers don't exist! That's my biggest problem with Yahoo! Fantasy. Good luck man!

My best advice for you is to only join leagues that you know have a good reputation or form a league of your own where you invite the people to join that way you can make sure no one is double-dipping in the player pool.
I ran into some issues when I first started playing fantasy sports that were similar to yours. Some dude invited me to join a league and I said sure and sure enough four of the teams in the league all sent their best players to his team and then never made a move again all year. He screwed me and a few other guys over, so I just quit paying attention and moved on.
Since then I've only participated in my own league with my friends. It's much more fun and competitive when you know whose *** your kicking anyway :-)

It sucks, but theres nothing you can really do about it. Just accept the fact that some people aren't very good at the game and need to cheat to win. If someone wants to win bad enough to ruin my experience playing for fun, by all means let him have it, that is my opinion.

VERY EASY SOLUTION
1- Create your own league
2- Open it to anyone to join
3- Put trades setting on commishioner review
This allows you to override crap trades, and control all rosters in a fair way. PLUS you pick all of the settings you like. (Positions, stats, amount of teams etc.)
Hope this helps.
Good luck in '07

Actually, yahoo has a system thats tracks IP addresses that choose them selfs as best answers and deletes the accounts shortly after. And I have proven them right, I have tried it.. =P
