Yahoo Fantasy Sports Warning

RiOtChEsS · November 28, 2010, 02:11:20 PM

If u use yahoo for fantasy games just be careful about joining custom or private leagues, i just busted a commissioner in one of my basketball leagues unlocking rosters and poaching players from our teams and yahoo cant or wont do anything post draft about it, the yahoo help staff actually said to me it happens alot so im just giving interested people the heads up.

yeah it definitely needs refining, some ppl wont abuse it but its obviously an issue when thats the advice they r giving, espn is really professional they will investigate it and even suspend the commissioners account if found to be cheating or creating an unfair playing field...

Ur teams pretty good tho and u still have boozer yao and vince carter to return to that lineup so it could be a different story at the business end of the season, last week i was beating boomz 5-3 until halfway thru the week then wall and durant missed 5 games between them and i lost 2-6

Yeah thats the reason I don't play yahoo fantasy... It gets very annoying.

yeah i put in my bid for him but u mustve had a higher waiver priority solid 20pt 10reb guy in utah shouldnt lose to much in his first year with the bulls who r going to contend in the east along with boston... the heat look terrible its like they didnt even come up with a game plan just chuck it to one of the big three and isolate :-[

A couple of guys I know on another board were talking about the same thing. They were in a league where the commish locked their teams because they were beating him. They had a function where you could report them so Yahoo would not allow them to be the commish of future leagues.

yeah i reported the shower out of it like three times with every detail and links directly to the cheating but the league for now is just a waste bcos they wont intervene post draft he will face a tough time in the future tho
