Guys, you cannot vote "No" unless one of the following is true:


Voting No
As a general rule, a No vote should be a rare occurrence in your league.


NOTE: One of the most destructive forces in a league is when owners abuse their trade voting privileges and start to veto legitimate trades out of spite or jealousy.


Trade voting is in place to stop collusion, team dismantling, or anything not deemed in the best interest of the league.


Collusion Two owners get together and decide to make a trade that benefits one owner while the other owner receives nothing of any value in return, creating a tremendous advantage to only one owner.


Trade Dismantling An owner who has decided to quit EFSports, but as a parting shot tries to make his team such a disaster, that even the best owner would need several years to fix it and make it competitive.
Best Interest An owner is intentionally trying to alter the competitive balance in the league in a negative way.


Trade Voting is not in place to prevent teams from getting stronger. Nor to frustrate owners attempts at improvements. It is not there to second-guess owner strategies, or to prevent owners from making
shrewd or stupid moves. Trade Voting is not in place to stop one-sided trades, lop sided trades, stupid trades, or incompetent trades.


Trade voting exists only to stop illegal trades or trades of evil intentions.


Tip: An owner who votes NO, should give the league the courtesy of a league wide email, or posting In the league forums explaining why he believes that trade is in violation of (Collusion, dismantling, best interest). This keeps things in the open, and will allow the trading partners to explain their motives.


If you voted "No" and you cannot present an argument that supports one of the above mentioned conditions, I strongly suggest that you change your vote ASAP. I'll be taking a look at the voting history tonight to see where the no votes came from.
