Commissioner Approval Rating
There should be a way for you to take a survey after your league has ended and rate your commissioner. For example, EBAY has feedback from positive-negative. We would rate the commissioner from 1-10 or 1-5 stars. We should be able to follow the commissioner for other leagues they have created. How many leagues they were commissioner in. Also have a final tally. This would make it much safer and build trust in the community between commissioner and teams.

If we have the ability to rate the commissioners after the season ends, I feel like the possibility of cheating will be reduced. It should at least give us more information when deciding which leagues to join at the beginning of the season. I've dealt with too many commissioners cheating in their custom leagues the past 2 years. They need to be held accountable or you're going to start losing users.

I have this same Idea, Something needs to be done about the cheating commissioners in private leagues.

Yahoo started collecting data for this idea a couple of years ago.

Yahoo should police the actions of commissioners. It looks like Iam getting scammed in a league which I won, and immediately was removed by the commissioner as a manager. I can't even see the league any more. It appears I may get scammed out of the first place money. (about $400) The commissioner is David Drew Mckenzie. I paid through Paypal, and hope to at least get back my entry fee through them.

A approval rating might not work because of bogus ratings and commish could just make an new email. All of this is true, but limiting the power of these commissioners would control the commissioners from getting a negative feedback. Because there is nothing available for them to do to change the outcome of the league. The settings are already set and the commissioners could not cause a negative or if even possible a positive result.

I definitely see your point, but if you do not have any rating at all then it will be much, much harder for you to get people to join. A commish that already has good feedback would attract much more players. But if 90% is negative then yahoo needs to find other ways to monitor commissioners. I suggest just limiting there control to edit settings after the draft. This will prevent a lot of unnecessary problems.

Yahoo! used to have a manager rating system, but it was done away with because 90% of the ratings were negative and they were typically individuals who felt like the commish in their league dissed them somehow.
Another reason it was done away with if even if you penalized a manager for a bad rating, all they would have to do is create a new ID and they would be right back in business.
