1) People who stream don't care about how many spots are available they only care that they have the maximum amount of pitchers pitching every day.
2) Making losses more of a negative hurt streamers and non-streamers alike (good streamers play the odds and pick up pitchers pitching against poor opponents anyway)
However, I think people are even more concerned about this problem in hockey and basketball where a commish has no way of dealing with the issue (we can't even lock offending teams from making additional pick ups as a penalty)
Weekly transaction limits is a HUGE issue. Even though there are other upgrades I'd like Fleaflicker to make, there's nothing more important than this one. Nothing ruins game play faster than owners who constantly stream players.
Yeah, im not sure how changing roster positions and scoring would stop streaming..They still would maximize as many SP's as they can and like Spades said they will still play the odds..They wont care if they pick up 5 SP's everyday and only 1-2 SP's a day get negative points, they're still in good shape if that happens..Heck it might even help them because like I said they're in good shape no matter what and at the same time if they're playing an owner who doesnt stream is probably getting killed by the higher negative loss.
I agree with Spades, I know theres alot stuff being asked for on this site but to me theres nothing more important than transaction limits..IMO, it doesnt make sense to have fantasy baseball and basketball without limits, especially since points leagues are the only option.

You can now replicate scoring rules over from one league to another league.
You do not have to be commissioner of the league to transfer the scoring rules either, you just need to be a part of the league.
To use another league's scoring rules for your new or existing league, do the following: Commish Options>Edit Scoring Rules>From Another League
Please let us know how you like it or if you run into any scoring-related bugs with it.

"Weekly Transaction Limits" don't seem to transfer over.
Oh yeah, because that feature hasn't been added yet. My bad.

We definitely need this.

The "Streaming " is an easy fix for the commish.
1. Only have 2 SP spots or
2. Make it more of a negative for a loss.
most leagues default scoring does not penalize enough for a loss.

Your last sentence is a whole new topic.
GET ROTISSERIE!
InSpadesSun 9/5/10 4:19 AM
Problem is a lot of people think rotisserie is boring... I did it for a year and find H2H much more fun.
DomSun 9/5/10 8:24 AM
They could also do H2H Roto. Then if people stream they risk losing ERA, WHIP and possibly other cats.
