Hello everyone,
HO was recently presented with evidence that includes but was not limited to screenshots from PMs between different parties and discussions in a DSFL war room. The evidence clearly shows that @jeffie43 tampered Garfield Despacito Jr. (@Gwdjohnson), telling him to retire so that Norfolk couldn’t have his IA player and to create a player that would then join them in Myrtle Beach. The evidence further suggests tampering of other players occurred, promising players he would join their MLR team in exchange for joining Myrtle Beach, and showed abuse of loopholes in the DSFL (particularly the waiver system). The actions and culture displayed in the evidence are, simply put, unacceptable. While some of evidence showed things which are technically legal, they were flagrant attempts to give their own team an unfair advantage over the rest of the DSFL.
Given the circumstances, it is very difficult to come to a decision on punishments. Much of what was found did not break any rules but needs to be shut down immediately, and there is no precedence for this type of case. After long deliberation and a vote, the following actions will be taken:
-- Jeffie43 will be removed as co-GM of Myrtle Beach effective immediately, and receives a 2 season GM ban. Should he wish to GM the season immediately following the end of the ban (S24), he must receive HO approval. Jeffrey will also be receiving a $2 million fine.
--@scorycory, @Frostbite, and @RainDelay have received official warnings and will be monitored going forward to ensure there is a change in behaviour.
Requests for appeal can be sent to @iamslm22 or any other member of the appellate committee.
