Also, there's the problematic fact that the devs themselves have said on these very forums that losing on purpose is acceptable under certain conditions. Some example strategies they cited as appropriate included playing cards out of position to gain defensive experience, though they did not say if there was a limit to what was acceptable (such as the extreme example of the all-catcher team).
The standards we have are neither clear nor consistent. The creates more, not less, work for those actively investigating reported cheating, while also exposing them to criticism centered on arbitrary enforcement of rules. Our dev team deserves better.

I feel like it is pretty clear. Are you trying to win, or purposely trying to lose? Are you putting your best team forward, or did you get to diamond and say - this is too hard, let me put in a team of iron players to lose until I'm back in bronze and can dominate. Are you playing a player in a position they are capable of playing, or do you purposely playing players out of position? Do you have five starting pitchers, or do you have a bunch of closers in your rotation, with no bullpen?
I really don't think they have any intent to go after a team because they were promoted, but may not have the best starting pitchers. While training someone for a new position may hurt you longterm the intent is to make the team better long term right?
I also doubt they are going after players who sell a card to raise money for an upgrade, as long as you have an acceptable substitute.
People who tank know what they are doing. It seems pretty clear to me, try to win with an acceptable team for your level and I think you'll be fine.
