A serious team is one in the same division as you and not in the running for relegation. Works well for div 1 and who cares about the rest?

That statement has blown all credibility to any argument you have presented here. What you are really trying to say is "this is my idea push it through because I can get ahead of everyone else and to hell with the consequences".

I look forward to your next suggestion of:- Lets make the Thunder League a league of bots and the Sydney Convicts.

I think I saw a post somewhere about moving one of the leagues times to suit those in Asia and Australasia just because there are 29 teams from that region.

The more I read the more I am convinced player trading wont work even though I like the concept itself in theory.

Ok we limit teams to trading within their own division fair enough. How does a side like yourself gain access to a player who would improve your side but isn't good enough for the side he currently plays for in division 1? How does that division 1 team get rid of him if no one else in division 1 wants him? If he cuts him does that mean division 2 sides get the chance to sign him? If so why? he's a division 1 player! Does that mean that I could ask a friend in division 1 to cut a player I like and because I have kept my wages low and income high then means I have a good chance of outbidding everyone for him? Or I could ask him to be cut at a time that suits when I log in? What about BOT draftees does that mean that the stick to the time zone they are drafted in when released? If they are open to everyone does that not mean the division 2 sides from that league have a massive advantage because most will have already done the scouting on him. Also division 2 teams wont have access to higher wage players so they can come along and storm through division 1 by being able to afford the best players. Ok there is now an 85% cap on ticket receipts but a division 1 sides wage bill is likely to be 300% or even 400% higher than a division 2 side.

What determines a serious side? Number of log ins? lack of smileys in posts on the forum? do we need to take webcam pictures of us with stern faces to prove we are a serious side?

You may feel that I am making a mockery of your post and you would be 100% correct in that. While the original post was a good idea in theory the more you have argued in favour of them the more insane it has sounded. oops I shouldn't have put that now I can't trade because Im not a serious side........... crazy

Look, trading doesn't happen in the NFL outside of the draft picks much at all. Free Agency is far more prevalent than trading. Some here are pushing for trading but on another thread they want more realism in experience gain. Trading isn't more realistic as it doesn't really happen all that often. If and when it does happen is the offseason, not during the season.

Trading has too much potential to screw up things here.

A serious side is any side not looking down the gun barrel of relegation and is thus probably not a designated feeder for cheating.

As for the rest, the simple rule could be that you can only trade with teams in the same division and that are not in the running for relegation. Players would not belong to a division - if they enter the TM as a FA then anyone could bid on them. My point is that there should be no dealing between teams where there is a good chance that one might be a feeder as is the case between divisions.

You could also allow the present conference leaders in Div 2 to trade with Div 1 teams for the duration of there time at the top of their conference.

This is not just for trades either but also money bids and combinations of the 2.

OK Saturday I play a bot there is a chance I could be conference leader on Sunday morning giving me 72 hours to organise a trade. I play a decent side on Tuesday so I may not win or I may only win by a small margin does that mean my trade is cancelled because i am not conference leader anymore?

I have just been joined in Admirals 2.2 by the side who won the 2.2 bowl in season 3 but was relegated last season does that not make him a serious side?

The more alternatives that keep getting thrown up the more convinced I am that the TM is the best way for this game and trading should be consigned to the bin

If you've actually got any evidence of Cheating , you should send the evidence to Admin who will (I'm 150% sure) act upon it.
But if you haven't, then why do you keep making inferences that cheating is very common or cheating is happening all the time.

Time to put up or shut up.

Yikes now only "serious" teams can trade only! Every team is serious until proven clownish. I don't think going down that path is helpfull.

Alot of suggestions have been made to implement Trades in RZA some were made by me, i would like to see it in the game i admit, but when you see 80% of the users saying they would rather not risk it, i have to stop trying to come up with suggestions to implement it, because simply they will all be shut down because of what seems to be a terrible fear of Trading bringing cheating, aldo it can already be done, but hopefully it's not happening. Like i said before i played and still play other games where trading is viewed as a normal option and where users police themselves, not once was it mentioned in any of those games a cheating possibility, and trading is something that doesn't happen often in those games either, it's a option and it's good to have it in case you need it.

Anyways long live trades maybe someday your fear of cheating/exploiting the trades will go away.

You've obviously never played Fantasy American Football then.
Trading there is totally riddled with cheating, the public leagues are the worst ... some private leagues aren't much better.
