It is my duty to inform you all that. effective immediately, Dead Master Zero, The Kreign, and WickedPhantom have been relieved of their coaching positions and banned from the forums. We have evidence that they formed a secret group in order to help each other rise their teams to the top of their divisions. This is a clear violation of the rules and spirit of the league. No person is allowed to support more than one team because it gives them unfair access and knowledge to other teams. Having three coach’s from three different teams working together to make builds and plan strategy never has and never will be allowed as it is very unfair to the other teams who follow the rules and stay faithful to the team they have chosen. This means that any tactics or strategy that a follower of Team Cold, the Blades, or the Rugrats makes, will conceivably be leaked to the other two teams. Not only do they have access to each others privet actions and strategies, but there is no way to ensure they don’t purposely make choices designed to help other teams in the group instead of concentrating on their own team and it’s followers. These actions are against the rules and spirt of the league, and some members of this group made it clear they were aware of this as they tried to make sure the staff did not find out and even lied about asking the staff for permission to do this. I and the staff do everything in out power to make this a fair league that cares about sportsmanship as much as, if not more than, winning. As such, we have no choice but to take the actions I have already listed. Dead Master Zero, and The Kreign will be allowed back into the community in one month’s time, however WickedPhantom has been banned forever due to him being the ringleader, breaking rules in the past, and out right lying about getting permission to do this. In addition, this means that the minor leagues currently have no one leading them since that was Dead Master Zero’s job. If someone wants to step up and take over, let me know through PM, but as of right now, I am suspending all minor league activities. I don’t like doing things like this. In fact, I hate it more than you could ever know. I started this league as a fun way to get everyone involved in something they love. I have always been the most passionate fan of this league and I hate driving people away. However, if I did nothing, it would be unfair to every one of you who follow the rules and try to compete fairly. Yes, this is a competitive league, but the second you start putting winning above everything else, you are losing sight of what makes this league amazing. I beg all of you to never forget this. I am not sure how often I can bring myself to hand down these kind of punishments. If you have any questions or concerns, post them here or PM me. |

No, they don't. They will not be allowed back into teams subforums until we are satisfied that they should be. They will certainly not be allowed coaching positions in the foreseeable future. |

Wow, that some big news right their. Didn't expect that type of thing to happend. It's... surprising, non the least. If the Minor would have continued to live, I would have been please to take it on my shoulders to continu, since I'm in it since the first season, but looks like that minor league moved away to another forum. So, I hope we don't learn that theres nothing like this doing on in other teams, it is quite horrible to know it was happening like that. |

Wow.. I don't know what to say. Except.. I doubt DMZ knew that this group was against the rules.. Knowing him, he's been incredibly dedicated to the league as a whole. Be it as a majors tester or running the minor league. |

It is crazy to think something like this could happen in the league and it makes me very sad to hear of it. |

Sadly, Bluwolfie, he knew. He stated at least once that he hoped the staff did not find about about it. As for letting them return Huzzah, that is what forgiveness is for. People make mistakes. Sometimes they grow from them and if so, we need to welcome them back with open arms. |

Something additional that has come to our attention over the past couple of hours, that I really should have spotted sooner. However, on Squee's request, here it is. For anyone not entirely sure what they're looking at or what it means, I will explain. It's a screencapture taken from a screen on the Admin CP which I shared with the rest of the Staff. Some of you may recognize certain names from previous applications to coach other teams. The potential results of that alone are massive breaches of the rules we have in place around DBZ League, even ignoring the other point of attempting to dodge a ban. Two of the accounts, both belonging to WickedPhantom, have been used after the ban he received earlier today. One was created after the ban he received earlier today, also after being expressly asked by Squee to stop making new accounts. Unfortunately there is collateral damage here, Sand Gecko, formerly Android 9 and coach of the Androids. To the best of our knowledge the account was owned by someone in the same household as WickedPhantom, but not WickedPhantom himself. We have no way of verifying this one way or another however. As such, that IP address is banned, as are the accounts you see listed there. This is not a post I'm comfortable making, nor was it a decision any of us on the Staff were comfortable making. However, we felt we had no choice, given WickedPhantom's recent actions. The Androids have been added to the list of teams on the tryouts thread, linked here. |
