The sticking point for me really comes down to the fact that not processing the trade means we are holding sacred to the Yahoo default settings because...why exactly?

Like compare this to other possible rule changes.

If I wanted to change to full PPR, or 6 points for a safety, or make sacks worth an extra half a point, or anything that affected scoring, no. You don't change scoring halfway through the season.

If I wanted to change the bench size, or number of players at each starting position, or the waiver priority system, then no. That's not fair midseason.

But this rule we're discussing has had zero tangible impact on anything whatsoever prior to it coming up this week.

Like, if the default setting was Commissioner Approval to begin with, it wouldn't have caused a single player to be drafted differently, or a single player to have been started instead of benched, or a single player to have been held instead of dropped to waivers, etc. The league has been 0% affected by the rule so far.

Therefore, since it's the first time the rule is coming into play at all, it makes sense to just change the setting if people agree that it's reasonable (and that we can all agree to trust suprak's judgement), rather than put the Yahoo default settings on some kind of pedestal just because.
