Is now no longer a thing.
A relic of the time when the commissioner was also a competitor, league-wide voting leads to a large amount of consternation. As more and more of the GMs here become more experienced, getting your trades hung up by the votes of your fellow GMs can be frustrating. We are now under a commissioner-only veto system, whose detailed regulations are outlined here in the trade guidelines thread:
dynasty720.proboards.com/thread/19/trading
This is designed to do two things:
1) More freedom for GMs.
I want more freedom for GMs to run (and ruin), their franchises. With the ability now to place poorly performing teams under league-control in the case of a GM ruining a team and going absent, the health of the league is no longer as dependent on having dedicated GMs for dumpster-fire franchises. In addition, in practice we have yet to even see a problem of keeping GMs for bad teams anyway. Because of these factors I will be much more lenient in allowing trades to go through, only veto-ing incredibly lopsided deals that cause a bit of a league-wide stir, or in the case of apparent collusion.
2) You can stop giving your "reasoning" for your trades in the trade threads.
It's counterintuitive to give away your best-laid plans for your franchise in public during moves. In this case, you have the option to give reasoning at all times, but would usually only be reserved for if a trade is considering being vetoed. And you can always just PM your reasoning to the league commissioner instead of making the argument publically.

Veto System:
All members retain the right to comment and discuss the legality/veto-ability of all trades within their respective threads.
Within 48 hours of a trade being posted, the commissioner will look at the trade, and the comments of other GMs and signal whether they intend to veto the trade. If the intention to veto is posted, the GMs of the trade may make arguments against the veto-ing of the trade, whether in the public trade thread or by PM. Within 24 hours of the intention to veto, a final decision will be made.
