Prediction League News ## SZ Prediction League Announcement - UPDATE ##

[BLUEBLOOD]

It is with a great deal of sadness that i have to tell you that this evening we have caught someone cheating ... this is supposed to be a fun forum, a guessing game for christssake

why oh why oh why oh why ???

Of course they are banned for the rest of the season, and for the Euro 2012 special we have lined up for the summer, and all results this season will be expunged .. We'd like you, the players who have been cheated, to decide if he should be allowed to compete next season should they so wish

Kind regards

Lee & Harry

Over to you ...

 

[south247]

Bad form. However, my view is he should take his medicine, take the ban and learn from this. If he wants to take part next season then let him but maybe with a points deduction.

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Agree with South247, a points deduction is a good idea.

How can you cheat at the PL? :stunned:

How can you cheat at the PL? :stunned:

Simple if you knew/know how.

It's just disappointing that someone has wanted to cheat in what is as Lee says a bit of a guessing game and a bit of fun. Notwithstanding the effort and expense (on Lee's part) that goes in to running it.

 

[Harold Bishop Killer]

I say put him in the stocks!! Maybe at the Spread next Saturday!

 

[Cricko]

You can't any more, hence how he got caught.

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

I'd also like the miscreant to have the balls to come on here and apologise, but seeing as they've just reported a visitor message where i label them a cheat i can't see that happening unfortunately

 

[sufc_dave]

Let them in next season, but its a bit sad to cheat on a forum's predicition league, someone needs to get a life!

 

[Tinks]

a) Start next season with a point deduction.
b) Fine him
c) Make him walk the around the pitch on the first game of the season wearing nothing but a guilty face.

Personally I think an apology is enough. Said person has I'm sue been a bit silly but no harm has been done.

But isn't that the problem? He hasn't done so...publicly at least. I'm not going to pretend to know what's gone on here but if you get caught cheating at anything then you apologise.

I agree with you Dave and I think we'd be happy with that.

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

I agree with you Dave and I think we'd be happy with that.

It'd be a start eh mate ...

... waiting

 

[Gt Yarmouth Shrimper]

Anyone caught cheating must be banned from competing ever again, in my opinion:angry:

if said person wont apologise, then giving them a points deduction would certainly 'out' them. Banning them would be an answer, however, its easy to rejoin under another number.
Name and shame is the only way for me, then its down to their concience.

 

[Tinks]

how funny all of this is.
Yes they have been caught cheating and most of us know who it is, the shame of people knowing is enough in my view after all the PL is just for fun (or so I thought!)

I'm assuming I've worked out who it is, but as he's been posting on SZ elsewhere I'm not sure his conscience will be troubling him. Probably thinks it's just a laugh.
