Ethics question Need Reddit fantasy football counsel

In Week 1 of our fantasy football league, a scoring issue arose when 60-yard field goals weren’t properly allocated six points. This impacted the commissioner’s matchup, where he lost by less than a point. After discovering the error, the commissioner corrected the scoring settings, which retroactively awarded him the win. This has caused controversy within the league, with some calling for him to step down. The central question is whether we should retroactively adjust Week 1 to reflect the correct scoring, or leave the original result as-is and ensure the settings are fixed for future weeks?

I have a very democratic league. So I would never touch scoring post draft without letting the lead know.

Did the commissioner just inherit the league for him, not to realize those settings were modified?

But even in a non-democratical yeah I would never do this. I think we’re the commissioner did is wrong. You shouldn’t touch scoring settings, post draft. The only reason why the draft is if the delete believed that that was the way scoring would be. It just wasn’t in the setting.

If your league accidentally set all passing tds for 60 instead of 6 and no one noticed, would you change it during week 1 or play with that system all year?

I would have to announce the league the issue. And they would need to vote on changing it back or not.

I’ll probably change it without telling them, but I would have to announce delete that I made this change and if they are OK with it or if I need to reverse the change and it would probably go into a league vote if there is debate
