1) Set up a "Committee" or "Board of Governors" with members that you appoint. Appoint a combination of fictitious people, people who have vanished off the face of the earth, and people who have experience on the field who can give your commission legitimacy. You don't want them to be actively involved, because then you can't do whatever you want.
* - A Committee consisting of Kelsey Goss, ToTheLeft, and John Madden would be a fantastic start.
2) Any time some idiot complains about the way you do things, tell them the Committee will consider those concerns and give you a decision. Make sure to use calming phrases like, "just because that's the way we've done it doesn't mean that's the right way," "I'm open to that idea," "I'm not opposed to that suggestion" and my personal favorite, "I would love to discuss this further over a beer or 10."
3) "Go to the Committee" - I mean they don't exist anymore, but you need to wait it out a couple of days before telling people their ideas suck. And when you do give them the bad news, agree with them in theory. But don't blame their dissatisfaction on the Committee or else people will want new (and possibly real) people on the Committee.
4) Make up rules that secretly screw with the whiners and give credit to the Committee. "Calling DIBS will result in the DIBCALLER being placed in the lowest available league" is a great rule. Those DIBCALLERS will have NO IDEA what you are up to.
* - Be careful how you make rules to benefit yourself, tho. The whiners are gunning for you. A proposed rule stating that "Commissioners may not be relegated, ever" might raise some flags. Instead, consider changing the draft type to AutoPick so that all of the teams are stuck drafting the same way you do and can't gain a competitive advantage.
5) This job you've taken on is a thankless job. I mean it - NO ONE will ever thank you. So you better make sure you benefit from being Commissioner while you're stuck here.

I have the draft tentatively set for the Monday before the opener just so I have a date to work with...any issues with that?Don't forget your new teachers pet, bballfan.
Also, we have two spots left for Phoenix and LUconn (phoenix moving up from the B-League, LUconn a holdover from last year...runner up I think)
You spurn the rites of DIBS at your own risk
