Our league is on the ootp server. Are there reports that would show IP address or some other identifying information regarding who has uploaded the league .zip file? We would like to make sure these accusations are valid if possible, and this seems like a sure way to do so.
Also, is it possible for a team export file to change things like a player's age, talents, and other ratings? This was another explanation offered for the player changes, but we were unable to do so with a couple tests.
Thanks

BTW, I believe no member of the league could edit these and then export the changes to the commissioner, because if this was done then the teams exports would not work because the exports would be from a league file that was different than the commissioners.
The only way for changes to show up and allow them to be valid for import would be for the league file used to be the same as the official league file on the commissioners machine. That means in order for someone other than the commissioner to edit something they would have to hack into the league server and put up the edited league file, and then the commissioner would have to download the league file and overwrite his previously valid league file, the same file that was presumably used for the upload. Given that most people would not try and download the same file they had allegedly uploaded again and then overwrite the old file, it would be exceptionally hard for someone other than the commissioner to edit the league file and have the changes show up in the game, especially if all owners lineups imported properly for the sim period...
So to paraphrase it would be pretty hard for the official league file to be hacked and to impact the "official" league file which should have been stored on the commissioner's computer. It's not impossible, but it is highly unlikely. Editing the league file is as previously mentioned the only way to change ages and abilities and for all the changes to impact the game and allow all imports to have worked, it would have had to be done with the "official" league file (after importing all the league's lineups), which presumably was in the commissioners OOTP4/STB2k3 directory.
Edit - Now I could be mistaken here or missing something basic.. if I am, I'm sure someone with more online league experience than I, will jump in and correct me.
