first off, please use periods when typing. It would save me time trying to comprehend one big run-on sentence...anyhow... As a trade mod myself, i understand not every trade will be perfectly even. Its rare that its ever even. I think you have gotten a bit of scrutiny from trade mods b/c, A. you are new, and regardless of what you say or think, its very common for a new GM to enter a league, "rebuild" a team that didnt have to be, and then leave soon after and leave the team in shabbles, and B. Quite frankly, i've been a bit critical of your deals as well and at times baffled by your trades.
Our job is to protect the league from collusion, protect new GM's from ruining a team and leaving, understanding the value of the league i.e. draft pick value, prospect value, star value etc etc etc..
Do i judge a new gm's trade more than established members? absolutely i do. And no offense, but i know nothing about you or your abilities or your reputation across mogul. For all i know, you could be a league jumper and get bored easily and leave at the drop of a hat, so when you come in and start making deals that are in question, of course i'm going to question your longterm plans here. Maybe you fully intend to be here for the long haul, and i hope you are, but until you are an established member in this league, trade mods have every right to scrutinize your deals much more than others.
To me, your post just proves to me that you still have not got the grasp of things, which is completely fine. I dont expect a new member to join an established league and pick it up like you've been here the whole time. But i do expect for the new GM to take his time and evaluate the league and evaluate the market before jumping right in and then claiming you understand when its clear you dont...i hope you are here for the longhaul, I love your activity, i love that you are involved and are hopefully having fun, afterall thats what its about..but please, dont come in and criticize and be up in arms when YOU are the new one..not us...you arent the first to be "hovered over", and you certainly wont be the last.. deal with it, take your lumps, learn the league, have fun...
