Etiquette Question, Borrowing Players and Trade Transactions

[altproject]

i agree with the last comment. yes, if you consider both trades together, they do benefit both teams. but each trade individually only benefits one team or the other. this violates yahoo's policy. this is collusion and the two teams should be banned/disciplined/whatever.

Lending players is collusion, no doubt about it. My league has a rule that you can't bring back a player that you traded away that year. Plus the commish must approve the trade.

Just post a message to all stating you won't tolerate such actions.

Say

At min. the trade back trade wil be denied!

Further action may be taken!

Including forfeture of game played!

And possible yearly suspension!

Basically, I'd just make a rule that any player traded from team A to team B can't be traded back to the same team for 3 weeks or something. And just veto the trade if they don't follow the rule; I wouldn't ban them or lock them because that just ruins the league. That would prevent situations where team A has a stud RB on bye and team B has a stud WR on bye so they swap.
