Kid, just my opinion, but if these things bother you so much you probably should join a more serious and committed league. Losing interest is an age old fantasy sports problem and will continue to happen as long as the buy-in is such a nominal amount. One way to prevent owners from losing interest in the league is to provide incentives to continue to pay attention. Two of the leagues I'm in do different things to keep owners involved.
1. One league I'm in pays a $50 cash bonus to the high point scorer in each of the last 5 games of the season. The buy-in to this league is $300 so there is ample cash in the pot to make it work,
2. The other league assesses a $25 penalty to the lowest scoring team in each week. Not only does this add extra cash to the pot, but it keeps people focused on improving their teams throughout the season.
