Remember when you traded down to get my #420 pick? Imagine having a whole dispute thread about it.
As long as both players agree to a trade, I couldn't care less - unless it's like, "well I'm not going to win so I'm trading my entire lineup to so-and-so for a bag of chips".
And yeah, I'm not playing this game... but I'll be back in the future and I don't want this to set a precedent. Rules are important, but being overly nitpicky about rules detracts from the fun of the game.

If trading picks for posters rewards skills outside of the game, then frankly we shouldn't be allowing posters at all. Of course, that idea is ridiculous.
Posters are a part of the game. Therefore, the skills required to make them are a part as well. They may not be the thing that pushes a lineup to victory, but a nice poster is definitely a plus.
Secondly, this is so massively weighted in jones' favor that I'm surprised truevine only took two picks. Two picks take what, 30 seconds total? IDK how much time truevine will spend on the poster, but the opportunity cost of him making jones' poster is pretty big, both from a monetary and gameplay perspective.
Truevine could have spent that time working on his own, you know.

my last post on this lol
I don’t care about a 49+50 but I worry that this sets a precedent for people good at photoshop to sell their services (And keep in mind I’d benefit for this). It like the Lynch poll. I worry more about the precedent than the pick itself.
Lol. This was a fun read. The debates are usually the best part of the drafts.
And yes, I think trading picks for services outside of the draft is a slippery slope. Esp since so many of us who play know each other irl, so who’s to say it doesn’t expand to all sorts of things. Posters have always been exchanged and offered by those who have skill/time to those who don’t. And when it comes to judging I’ve never really focused on the poster unless it made the lineup unreadable. If someone just copy and pasted their lineup in Times New Roman 14pt I wouldn’t hold it against them.
With that being said I hope this doesn’t dissuade Jones or Truevine (or any other new drafter) from participating in future drafts. New blood makes the drafts more interesting.

I mean tbf Jones, I mentioned that I was making Jim Watson 's poster after doing a trade with him. The poster wasn't even involved and people got upset. That was a few days ago, I feel like you should've seen the writing on the wall.
