If we go with a 2 year, 125 MWR there would have been 37 different violations since this world began (one team had a 91 win season and still would have violated this rule). 8 teams would have been in violation for a third year if that third year was 187.5 MWR or more, and 5 teams would have been in violation for a fourth year with a MWR of 250 or above. One team would have been in a fifth year violation at the same rate to a 312.5 MWR.
Since season 1 there have been 82 times that a team won 62 or fewer games (That's a .383 win percentage, .133 percentage points higher than WiS' requirement), meaning that they would be required to improve or be in danger of being kicked out of the league the next season.
With a MWR of 55, 19 teams would have been in violation since season 1. If we had a 2 year MWR of 110 there would only have been 3 violations to date, and just 1 with a MWR of 165.
I believe that the 3 teams that failed to reach 110 wins over two season were in clear violation of tanking, same goes for the 3 that didn't make
Personally I don't want to have to make a case for why my team sucks, which I would have once if a MWR of 125 over two years was in place since season 1. I don't want to lose my team because people voted me out because my case wasn't strong enough.
Six times since 1973 has a MLB team had a 54-108 or worse record, 42 times has a team gone 62-100 or worse. If MLB had a MWR of 125 over two years, the Detroit Tigers would have been kicked out in 2003 for only having 98 wins. The Royals after 2005 with 114 and again after 2006 with 118. The Padres in 1974 with 120, Blue Jays in 1978 with 113 and in 1979 with 112, and the Nationals in 2009 with 118 wins.
Again I point to the 55 win seasons as those that would be legitimately in question of a franchise tanking to save money to spend elsewhere or to get a #1 overall pick.
If you wanted to institute a MWR of 60 for a team that was below the 55 win mark the previous season, that would be the most I'd be willing to vote in favor of. Not a single MLB team failed this task including the 2003, 43 win Tigers who won 72 games the next season for 115 over the two year period.
6 Wrigleyville teams would have violated a 55/60 MWR. I think these are the teams we want to discourage.
There WiS floor should also be strictly enforced so that a team can't go 30-132 between 90+ win seasons.
