Exclamation Cheating Owners/Dishonest Owners

First, let's not mention ANY names in this thread. This thread should be a discussion among commissioners and players regarding how you should deal with situations.

First, the "cheating" owners.

1. If you don't have any solid evidence that the owner is cheating, how do you justify taking actions against them?

2. If you have solid evidence, do you expose them to everyone or do you allow them the chance to leave quietly?

Second, the "dishonest" owners.

1. You have an owner in the league who looks for loopholes in the league constitution in order to exploit them to their advantage. Do you allow them to continue and just patch the holes later or do you take action against that owner?

2. You have an owner who verbally and electronically harasses other owners into deals that benefit the first owner. When you as commissioner ask him to stop badgering other owners he refuses. What do you do?

Finally, in all the cases above, do you ever let that owner back into the league?

I've been in many leagues where these situations come up and I know that each one can be unique and different. Just general opinions are expected here.

I know in the case of a owner who harassed other owners we suspended him for one year and allowed him to reapply for admission. There are things you have to take into account and the biggest for me can be age. If it's a 12 year old kid it's easier to forgive cheating than a 39 year old guy...
