This is one thing that I certainly think needs to be changed. I cannot stand that a trade disappears after you vote on it. I do not care if you can't change your vote but leave it up so you can at least go look at it when it is referenced in world chat. There are plenty of times I vote on a trade and a major discussion breaks out. Unless someone posts the players involved, I do not usually remember them and I'm sure I am not the only one. Thoughts?

can about drive you nuts when a discussion breaks out and you can not remember the details of the trade - I agree this should be done in some manner

Doesn't it show in the league transaction report?  I agree though the trades should stay until you choose to delete them.

Not while they are still pending, which is what I think the OP is talking about. I totally agree. It should stay up until manually removed, just like a processed trade.

Do you want the guy who has already voted piping in?   Didn't he already check the players before he rubberstamped the deal?   It seems to me that his idea of the fairness of the deal was so cut and dry that he felt no need to comment.

Just as a devil's advocate.   I don't care one way or the other.

The guy who voted might not have approved it, though. I veto lots of trades, but I don't always lobby others to do so. But if someone else brings up the topic in world chat, it'd be nice to be able to support my arguments without having to look for all the players involved in each team's roster report.

Taking this a step further, if this change were implemented they might as well go ahead and make it possible to change your vote right up to the point of the trade being processed.

+1 on the original proposal, and +1 on this.

I agree with travis and tec. This would of course be my ideal change to be made but I would settle for it just staying up for the reasons that travis gave.

I damn sure don't want some wishy-washy vote-changer deciding my trade fate.   "Well, I rubberstamped the deal like I always do but you guys make some good points.  VETO!!!!!"    Make up your mind before you vote.   You do have 24+ hours. 

Also, if you veto, I don't think you need to know the exact players if a discussion breaks out.   But you should know why you vetoed if you want to take part in the discussion.

I see no reason why the trade has to disappear until it is completed.  Keep it visible.

I thought I had seen a similar request before but didn't obviously look too hard. Just started a new thread obviously.
