It's common sense. I never said it had to be the GM's, could easily be players if you wish to vouch for all of your players.

I'm just saying it's bull that he's considered an active player, it's half the leagues fault too, for making the definition of active so shitty.

That's the problem right there. When Expansion was first announced and the planning of the Expansion Draft started, I was one of the guys lobbying for a stricter definition of active. I proposed a completely different (protection-based) system that would've given the Expansion teams some more decent players, without really hurting the existing teams. But the league chose a different path and went with the system we have right now, which they have all the right to do, but I think back then a lot of people already saw a situation like that one coming. And in this case we got lucky, Hansel meets all the criteria for an active player because this criteria is just way too weak. But we aren't the only team, look at the active the Rage put up for example. He did his last update in July (he only has 2 Updates too) and his last login was more than a week ago. Or look at the guy from Las Vegas who conveniently did his first update in almost 2 months just two days before the draft. If guys like them count as active it's a sign that the rules didn't work properly, but the teams didn't do anything wrong.
