Can we now be 100% sure that no participant can buy more than 75 trades?
Is it possible to see how many trades other participants have bought to date?

It is impossible to buy more than 75 trades in the game. There's a limit that's hard-coded in our database. And we're considering adding trades-used/trades-remaining for Season II, but haven't yet made a decision on it.

Its NOW impossible to buy more than 75 trades? You make it sound as if it has always been impossible, which is clearly not the case. As of a week ago I know there was still a team with MORE than 100 trades. Have all of these 'cheaters' been dealt with? What were the consequences?
This whole issue seems shady to me. I think you need to give us more details.

Down to 60 trades now, but more than 15 used within the last week, looking at their frozen rosters.

Coyotes:
Give us teams, and we'll look into it. The particular manager that you've listed could have bought 75 trades, and also had 20 or so trades from the weekly trade allocations. I'll look into his team and get back to you on this to make sure that that's the case.
We will, obviously, audit all teams who are prize winners, and if anyone has found a way to buy around the limit, which they shouldn't, he or she will be DQ'd.

I don't think Erik is saying we need to check on how many trades everyone has bought. I think he's saying if we run across something that looks fishy they will look into it.
I think his point about end-of-the-year auditing is important: Someone attempting to "buy their division" will find themselves disqualified if, somehow, they bought more trades than they should have.

Gang:
We're going to post a feature that shows how many trades a team has bought. We're going to look into this particular team. And we're running a check against all team to confirm that no one else is over the limit.
