As I'm sure registered members of the forums will be aware, yesterday Soccer Gaming took the previously unprecedented step of removing and banning a moderator from our forums. Elwyn Peters, alias 'uuh... I don't know?' had previously been a moderator of two forums at Soccer Gaming, and has left our team following an unacceptable breach of Soccer Gaming's Forum Rules regarding incitement of racial hatred.

We would like to apologise sincerely to every single person registered on these forums for Elwyn's behaviour in this matter, and we would also like to apologise for our apparent inactivity over this matter until this point. It is our policy to deal quickly and effectively with breaches of our forum rules, and would like to remind all users of our forums that if they cannot abide by these guidelines, we will have no choice but to ban them from using them.

Once again, we would like to apologise unreservedly to all forum members, and remind them that, despite our removal of this one trouble maker, we still have more than 7,200 decent, reasonable forum members who help to make Soccer Gaming's Forums some of the most successful on the 'net.

well, I am glad the action has been taken.

But what stops that person from returning, and continueing to breach the rules?

We have our ways. I would just like to remind everyone that action had already took place over 24 hours ago (before the Neutral leaving posts, etc), it seemed people failed to realize the things that were going on with 1 on 1 talks and other means of punishment for his behavior.

I'm glad to see that action has been taken.
Scheichel: they can ban his IP adress and all that kinda stuff :)

philler,

banning i.p.s does not work

because your i.p. drasticly changes everytime you connect if you are using ISP's like AOL, BTinternet, NTL or another very large ISP.

sadly it has come a bit too late... now neutral is gone we really will miss his post...

It wansn't late. He just didn't notice it. Oh well.

well, let's hope that he will come back and post again...

That's right Schmeicjel but if you've got cable or dsl....although even that can change sometimes if you request a IP number change....

Well I say good riddance to that uuuuuuh fellow, he was always looking for a fight, that boy needs some serious therapy if you ask me.
About the IP-numbers: there is a lot of software available nowadays where you can shield your number with or the last octets and no-one will know your IP-address.
This is not a tip but the truth..

What was his name he used when he was a mod???

Right Bex, I second that, bring him back if he wants to that is?

Hate to inform you but it looks like that dick Elwyn has just registered again.

No.7857 in case you wanted to ban him again.

yep, he registered again..

anyways, I missed what happened there (I don't stay in these boards for 24 hours a day).. What was it? Just "old-school" cussing by some freak? And NEutral left because of that? JUST because of that?

and about the IP's.. I once found a website that gave this "service" to the clients; through the site you could change your IP and go on the websites you are banned from.. HOw exactly that worked, I didn't get into that...

Hey! Joe, you're a moderator, e-mail neutral and tell him to come back. Everyone misses him, more as a friend than a mod, just say that it's all blown over and we want him to come back.

How embarrassing! This was over 10 years ago. Wow. I am ashamed.:facepalm:
