Ban Me. If I am breaking your rules, then correct me! Stop leaving it to the community to try and police me.

I want the rules clarified, but I am fine with that clarification coming in the form of enforcement. Until it is clarified, in whatever manner that takes, my sliders will continue to be optimized for losing.

Sometimes it is easy to see the intent, such as playing Mike Piazza in center field with Blair and Maddox parked on the reserve roster. It could be difficult to know if playing Delahanty, an outfielder, in CF is just a poor decision to trade defense for offense or a purposeful attempt to lose. I would expect the developers to err on the side of caution rather than wildly banning everyone that fields a less-than-optimal lineup.
