Quote:A. What is Tampering?
1. Tampering is defined as a player or GM approaching a player under contract with another team or who's rights are owned by another team outside of the public forums, with the purpose of persuading them to join your team, request a trade, or hold out on contract negotiations.
2. Doing draft scouting on a player in the upcoming draft who was claimed on waivers will not be considered tampering if the discussion is only about scouting for the draft.
3. This includes any private discussion involving leaving the team with whom the player is under contract with the purpose of joining the offender’s team.
PBE had some shenanigans with a tampering definition similar to this, so I don't think it'd hurt to get this tweaked. Maybe remove the "outside of the public forums" bit.
Also what if a player approaches a GM and asks them to trade for him? That's happened before, and I would personally categorize that as tampering. Though it's weird... the player could just go to their own GM and ask to be traded.
Quote: 4. Tampering accusations may only be reported by the player who had been tampered with or his current GM or Co-GM
Not a big fan of this rule to be honest, doesn't make much sense to me but maybe I've just never had the reasoning for it explained to me
