Why is this disabled for the 3-4 days before we roll? It's a crucial time for the commish and those without their asterisks up to be in communication, and for owners to pass along leads to the commish.

In fact, it forces conversations that could be had behind the scenes out into the World Chat where controversy lurks around any minor misinterpretation of poorly chosen word.

I realize sitemail is always available but not as easy or convenient.

Good point.   More than once, as a commish, I've had to say "However sent me a TC last night, I can't read it."

Great idea.  Just disable the trading features, like after rollover, but before scheduling.

Agreed.
