Repeated Personal Message

[BeachBum]

In a historical league I had a player whose time on the DFA had expired so arranged a trade which was accepted by the other team. Unfortunately, the trading deadline had passed so both players had to clear waivers. Since I could not wait for the waiver period to pass due to the player's DFA time being up, I "cleared offer" of the trade and released the player.

Now each and every day I get a personal message announcing that the waiver trade has been completed. Seeing as I am simming and want to see personal messages, this stops the sim every day.

What can be done to fix this situation?

Hrm. Never heard of that one before. Which version of the game are you using, please?

[BeachBum]

I am using OOTP 8 version 8.0.0.13

[Nutlaw]

Huh. What happens if you try to re-sign the player?

[BeachBum]

OK....in light of the last question I have used a backup and come up with two following scenarios.

Scenario 1.
8/11 - Inititiated trade and released player per original post.
8/12-8/21 - Received daily message as per original post.
8/21 - resigned player as requested. No problem
8/22-8/26 - Received daily message as per original post.
8/27 - message stopped.

Scenario 2.
8/11 - Same as above
8/12-8/26 - received daily message as per orignial post.
8/27 - message stopped

I have the waiver period set for 7 days and the DFA period set for 10 days so these do not appear to be factors.

This appears to be fixed in OOTP 9. Using the current beta testing build, I can confirm that releasing a player involved in a waiver trade merely cancels the trade and that only one message is given to that effect.
