Heads-up: If davecallahan is looking to join your league, be careful. Dave chose to leave Gehrig after several seasons, but for some reason decided to trade away his best players for little to nothing, rather than let the next owner handle it. (This wasn't a case of poor talent evaluation or low scouting; he was just dumping -- and worse, lying about having in-depth trade talks with other owners to defend the decisions.) We managed to veto most of the deals, but we just realized he also waived multiple All-Star-level players, for nothing in return, before he left.

This is about as bad as it gets, imo. It's one thing to disagree with other owners or the way the league is run; it's another to actively harm your franchise and the league. I know filling leagues is tough these days, but I would rather wait months than let someone like that in my league. Just wanted everyone to be aware.

In this spirit, it would be nice if there was a place for commissioners to post things and ask questions about prospective owners. I would suggest that is has to be commissioner-only, which maybe takes the forums out of play.

This is a really good idea.

I have my own short list of no-no owners. I just added this guy to it. We had a guy in Moneyball do something similar. He didn't like that he got called out for not following the private World rules and the fact that the commish was working with Admn to replace him in the World so he had a temper tantrum and released all of his top line players to waivers. As soon as he did this, he went on my list and he is a very successful well known owner.

We were talking about an HBD discord for the longest time which I think would be amazing. the HD one is really good. I just don't have the time to run it, but if we had a few committed owners I'm sure we could get something off the ground.

I wonder if it's who I'm thinking it might be....
