Because of the rules on HT conferences, it's hard to find out anything that is going on behind the scenes unless you manage to read about it before it gets deleted by mods. So anyone with Gossip, tell all here. The big news in England Premier League is that the manager of Durham City FC, 3 times premiership champ and 7 times english Cup winner has been banned for being a scientologist! Wait till Tom Cruise finds out!
Hm...thats a fine for you. A fine for you. A fine for you. I can say though that ad the lad wasn't banned for being a Scientologist.
Does anyone know what he changed his team name to before the mods changed it back? I know it was a scientology reference
Well, there was the batch of LRons. LRon_27 is now GM_27. (That is, I call him GM_27, though his proper name is GM-Gunslinger.)
Yes that's true. Changing my team name to Durham City FC Scientologists was the banning offence. Visit my forum at http://www.armbell.com/hattricktips if you want more info.
I love how you don't give the whole story. You were given many chances to not get banned. You bulled your way through them all. I don't feel for you at all, nor do I care to hear your "spin" on things.
Well it's down basically to a concerted effort from GM-CO2 who is a pretty nasty piece of work and quite clever with it so he seems like a reasonably sociable chap on the surface. I received a week forum ban from him for posting a relatively inoffensive message in a private forum that I deleted after 15 seconds which he only saw because GMs can see deleted messages, similarly I got a week ban for bringing up the idea of sponsorship in a thread - other GMs even discussed it with me in the thread but CO2 found the excuse to give me a ban. I've heard similar stories about him from other users. Anyway a long time after this I put some links in my signature about various interesting things related to spirituality. This isn't against the rules but I got told to remove them and did so. My intepretation of the rules was that they didn't want things causing religious discussions on the conferences. So I thought it would be fine to put some links in my player press releases. That wasn't OK and I was told I was on a last warning!?! and so I removed them. I did ask for clarification about exactly why I was being told to remove them but didn't receive anything. A little later at the end season break I changed my team name to Durham City FC Scientologists. Before I did so I searched for teams with religious team names and found many so I felt sure that it would be OK. That was the banning offense however. So despite not breaking any of the rules and not posting anything negative it was banning offense.
