7. Trading
-Trading is allowed year round.
-Please do not bully people about trades. I cannot stop people from making offers, it's up to everyone to courteous to everyone else. If someone is not interested, then leave it at that. The best way to stop this is to keep the offers to the forums in the form of Personal Messages.
-You may only trade with the same person once a month. If you have another trade in place, you must wait until the next month for it to come into effect.
-Once you trade a player away, you CANNOT trade back for that player until the next draft has passed.
-We have set up a three person trade committee(with backups to summon if a trade involves a member). We will all vote on the the trade and it will take two votes to pass.  Since this is a keeper league, we will be understanding as to why a trade may seem lopsided at the time. But if anything seems suspicious we will reject it. For example, tanking will not be accepted.
-If we do reject a trade, then you will both have a chance to appeal, and we'll listen to your reasonings. we will then re-decide the trade. If it is accepted, I will back date the trade.
-In order for a trade to be processed it must be posted in the "Trade Announcement" section of the forums by both parties. The trade will come into effect when the second party has posted.
-Once a trade has gone through, please you are allowed to make "free" lineup changes to facilitate your trade. But the switches must contain players involved in the trade. It is your duty to inform me of these changes prior to approval or else I won't be making any changes for you.

Good Luck to everyone!
