Please move it to where you find it fit.

PS - Your answer is wrong and a bad one.

Usually there aren't too much players that one might check. On any league.
And even less times that it will bother someone.
But even if it is exploited "just" once, it is enough to call it a design bug.

As this wrong behavior could easily be avoided with a better design by adding a limitation (that I explained which), I find is something that should be handled.

No.

1) On the relevant position - PF/C there is only a single player with close enough salary (and still about 14K more in salary) [82K compared to just 68K].
The thing that makes it "a little bit" different is that player got that price tag at age of 25, and until he will finished training (or event at the end of current year) he will get to the same area of the others NT players (which stands around 130K salary and above).
Not close to the peeked player discussed (28yo with 68K salary that will not change much if at all).

2) Penalty is relevant only after season starts.
Knowing the skills of a player of 28 years of age (for example), at the start of a season, gives manager all information needed when the matchup presents itself.

1) It doesn't matter if the advantage is 10% or 20%.
Any advantage caused due to corruption should be handled.

2) That player is a 28yo PF/C, with 68K salary.
He will never fit a NT that contains 130K (or above) of salary on that position.

In contrary,
the 25yo exception on the ISR NT is a player of 82K of salary that is still develping enough (due to his age).
He will get to the same level of salary (of 130K), or at least has a realy good chance.

3) Not surprising, that 25yo is part of the NT, as a sweetener for his manager, so he will continue training him.

The 28yo, with zero chance to get there is not.

He was just peeked for the sake of peeking.

4) If one would have said to you, wait until the election to your government.
Until then just be quiet about the government corruption.
In case that would be the claim.
Would you agree with that?
Probably not.

Summarizing my side;
A) Peeking is when reviewing skills of a player that there is zero chance that will ever be NT legit.
B) Even when only one manager suffers, and even if it affects only 20% or 10%, corruption is corruption, and is needed to be handled.
C) No reason (for the game) to stand still and wait for a corruption to end with the NT campaign period.
D) There is an easy solution - preventing it for hapenning by proper rules of peek-allowance.

There is rules about how you can select players, how much, when if you want to avoid penality.

I don't understand this sentence on the context discussed.
That player should have not been allowed to be peeked without his manager acceptance.
If he was NT-legit, then it was a whole new ball-game, but he is not, and will never be. [and is not for a few seasons]
It is even not my player! I am not acting for my own benefit but for the benefit of the game.

What you define as "corruption" is not corruption.

I'll rephrase;
It might be or might not be a corruption
It is still something that might give unfair advantage and should be avoided.
And easily could be

If you drop players from the NT roster, the NT takes an enthusiasm hit.

If you drop players from the NT roster, the NT takes an enthusiasm hit.

Not if you do this before the seasons starts. Which was exactly the case.

1) Why it is possible with this rule?
Because on the league of the NT manager there will be a very limited number of players that are NT legit.
This one time request is far from "painful".

2) When it happens here and there, it willl usually bother one person or two, and it will be hard to prove and harder for the community to find it wrong doing.

3) Moreover, during that period, the team that being "peeked" will have disadvantage.
Do you think that team will get good or bad feeling for the game due to that action?
Can it make them so bitter that they will leave the game?
Does the numbers (of users) allow us to neglect that?
And once again, it is NOT about a player of mine.
