How difficult would it be to add functionality to online leagues that includes an option to log all manual commissioner moves (i.e. player editor) into a report? It just seems to me that it would add a sense of assurance to league members that they don't have now, that things will be run correctly and will help to bring honest commishes out from under a cloud of suspicion if their team happens to (god forbid) do well.
Could the game even save/send a bit when a sim is run to note how many times a given sim was run from a certain date? This game has such great online functionality, but how many times do we have to join leagues where the commish starts running away with the league in yr 1? I think an option to open the black box up a bit would be an awesome improvement for us online players.

I've been playing this game since version 1 and have never been in a league where the commish runs away with the league in year one. How many have you been in where that happened?
Commishes who do cheat, soon get what they deserve, a reputation.
Commishes who run an honest league also get what they deserve, a reputation.
The difference is, one gets a bad rep, the other gets a good rep.
If you're serious about playing in online leagues, join an established one. There are plenty out there, and if you look, you'll find an opening.
Also, you can't rerun a sim many times in OOTP unless you're doing it over and over with a different copy of the league file each time. If that were the case, it wouldn't be possible to record since the file is always different.
There's a certain trust involved in playing in online leagues, almost everyone I know who's playing is trustworthy and would never cheat.
Anyone who cheats at this game is only cheating themself anyway. I just don't see how someone could feel a sense of accomplishment by winning something they cheated to get.
