    Issue: Two LG members had an issue from their personal life spill onto our site. A discussion occurred on Tinder between an AHL Manager and an non-LG manager which ended in a disagreement. That lead to a follow up discussion between two LG members via text message that also ended up being a disagreement. From there that discussion blew up and ended up continuing on our AHL CB.

    Keeping in mind and referencing our Code of Conduct the following violations occurred:
    1. posting private information about an LG user without his or her consent.
    2. harassment and threats
    3. inappropriate comments and personal attacks in the chat box.
    *keep in mind our current rules hold managers to a higher standard*
    *members are issued different violations based on our discretion on the severity of their actions*

    Punishments:

    @Papa Adams
    • Based on your involvement, your current role with LG, and how this issue spilled onto LG's chatbox with you initiating it you are being removed from your role as a manager. You will be issued a two season ban, and a six month chat ban.
    • As for your concerns about your personal information being leaked, I recommend if you have concerns how that will affect your personal and professional life you seek legal advice.
    @Provorov x 9
    • For your involvement, and degrading and inappropriate chat comments while in a leadership role as a manager in the AHL you are being suspended for the duration of week three, issued a one month chat ban, and will be placed on probation whereby any further conduct issues result in your immediate removal from management.
    @euroxhalfer
    • For your involvement with this situation and by harassing and taunting an LG member with personal information you uncovered you are being issued a one week suspension for week three, and a one month chat mute.
    @FIuoxe
    • For your involvement with this situation by giving Euro information about adams which directly lead to the chat discussions escalating you will be issued a two week chat ban.
    • It was deemed in this situation you should have contacted League Staff to handle this and not give info to allow Euro to take it to the levels he did. Your AHL GM even explained he already contacted me and it was addressed in the AM.

    Issue: Rumors surround the account @DlNKZ was a second tag:

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    After a discussion with @Taeezster 85 who was removed from LG for playing on a VPN and refusing to log into LG from his home IPs, he explained to me the DlNkz tag was a real person who played S28 on the CHL Sea Dogs who were blown up for account recovery.

    He explained that in big games, he would use the account as well.

    He explained that last season him and @SnarfGhost xX were playing games on it.

    One big concern was who else was involved, and according to Taez no one knew except for the former Sea Dog managers who were issued a ban already.

    @Lord of Hockey was originally removed due to inactivity and conduct detrimental to the team. Shortly after, it was discovered that the filings were false and he will be reinstated.

    @Jayson29 was banned for Conduct unbecoming and collusion to take over a team. He has since been IP banned for 2 seasons

    Issue: Sarina traded for two players who signed up late for the season at a position the players have yet to play here on LG. Later on the players were traded to a friend's team, only to have the players switch back to their primary position.

    The intent of the positional change was to allow to things: 1) new players who signed up with a wrong position position here is a chance to fix it. They are new players mistakes are expected. 2) to give a player an opportunity change to a new position to make a roster.

    Obviously this is another example of why we can't have nice things here on LG. Here is why we haven't ever allowed this before.

    Based on a discussing with the management team, and the player's who changed their position it was determined this was circumvention of the intent of this system. Article IV, conduct unbecoming states when the intent of a rule is circumvented staff can step in and added a violation.

    In this specific situation, the players have been reverted back to their original position. Flyers, who was the manager who traded for his friends, then they changed positions, has been suspended a week, and clarification is added to who can and cannot request a positional change.

    Incident: Tag recovery issue during the season 29 playoffs while the NYR played the PHI. The user @MagiikStix had his account recovered by the player @G lR ii M x. The Owner at the time @x Hendry 91 was also involved and was in the game while this all occurred.

    As a result; here is the following punishment:

    Grim - will be issued a capital ban, and a one season site ban for his conduct. He was already serving a captial ban while he recovered this tag. Grim will be ineligible for any LG events or the duration of NHL 19.

    Hendry - Will receive a capital ban, which is a three season ban that must be served and a $100 buy back when the ban expires. Not eligible for manage again, and ineligible for ESHL until the $100 fine is paid.

    MagiikStix - Will receive a capital ban, which is a three season ban that must be served and a $100 buy back when the ban expires. Not eligible for manage again, and ineligible for ESHL until the $100 fine is paid.

    All bans are in effect as of immediately.

    All evidence has been reviewed and vetted by Tris10. As per our site policy we do NOT share any information issued to us during the course of these investigations to ensure that the identity of those who assist staff remains protected.

    Issue: League staff and I got word that @Coach Crass and @Karlsson o 65 were conspiring to have AHL GMs call up certain CHL players on teams in which Northbay would likely face in the playoffs in order to lessen Northbay competition. After about a week of digging up info and gathering stories from several different managers involved it was determined that this was in fact occurring and Crass was orchestrating trades and having GMs do what he wanted. Karlsson also tried to involved AHL teams to call up certain players.

    Result: As a result of everything sent into staff three players were found guilt of conduct unbecoming, and bad faith trading. Crass also was circumventing his NML by being involved in transactions and trying to influence teams to make moves for him

    The following is the punishments currently handed out:

    @Coach Crass - three season ban(capital punishment), six month chat ban/forum ban, $100 buy back required to return to LG*.

    @Karlsson o 65 - three season ban(capital punishment), six month chat ban/forum ban, $100 buy back required to return to LG

    @Joe Nahh - three season ban(capital punishment), six month chat ban/forum ban, $100 buy back required to return to LG

    *based on crass' history of constantly trying to circumvent rules to gain and unfair advantage while in a management position and now while in the position of never being eligible to manage again I am considering and likely going to seek a permanent ban from the LGHL and any of simulation leagues. He has contributed nothing positive to LG in the duration he has been on this site and having to clean up major issues and incidents like this no longer make me feel he deserves and should have any involvement with LeagueGaming.

    All players who were called up during this incident have since been returned to the CHL with the understanding the can return to the AHL or NHL as a call if the player wishes to.

    I am fully aware that the CHL is a feeder league, and 99% of the time I feel legitimate call ups are part of being in the CHL. After discovering the intent of why these players were called up, there is no way possible in good faith can I deem the call ups in the right intention based on how this simulation league is structured and meant to run.

    Currently at this time I have nothing linking the Northbay management team to any of this hence why they have not been punished. Any additional questions let me know!

    @KEAPPS

    Removed for comments sent via Xbox live to another member of the community.

    Punishment was a capital offense. Three season ban, no buyout, buy back price of $100. Buy back maybe paid prior to the ban expiring. Buy back doesn’t reduce the ban sentence. Also an additional six months added to his current six month chat ban issued for insentive comments regarding the situation in Jacksonville this weekend.

    We decided to get started early this season.

    @ITSthaBRODIE - Was removed as he hasn't been on the site for 3 weeks, didn't have a GM, was not in the discord, did not respond to messages on xbox or LG for a couple days, has not posted scouting games, has not posted his position for bidding, and is in his first season as a member of the xbox community. Because of this we decided to remove him from his ownership position and put someone in the spot that would be able to run the team.

    It was later found out he was in the discord but had not changed his name correctly and thus was not added to his correct role. Due to this oversight we agreed that it was best to remove his ban and allow him to sign up for the season but not maintain his position as owner as we already appointed someone to that owner position.

    @Im Sean Avery was issued a Two season ban for Conduct unbecoming and leaking privet information

    1.3 : Conduct Unbecoming


    Conduct unbecoming of a member may provide grounds to be charged with an Offense, as outlined in Section 2 of the Rule Book, based on sufficient evidence being provided within a filed complaint.

    This constitutes, but is not limited to, Blackmailing, Confessing to Breaking Rules, Causing a Panic or Riot, Filing False League Information, leaking privileged information, rage quitting, breach of the terms of service or Code of Conduct.

    In some situations the word of League official(s) who are dealing directly with the member whose conduct is in question will be taken into consideration.

    In situations where the League's staff deems a user(s) are circumventing the intent of a rule a user can be charged with a conduct unbecoming violation.


    5.5 : Disclosure of Private Information

    As a member of Ownership/Management, you are given access to information that ordinary Players do not have. This information is not to be leaked or discussed in the public forums or Xbox Live parties.

    Punishment for non-compliance:
    • Situation will dictate outcome. Minor offences will result in a second degree violation; serious offences will result in removal.
    Recommended Best Practice :
    • Remember as a manager or owner you are in a leadership role. Do not discuss anything you are privileged too. If you have questions about if something is considered private, contact the League's Commissioner.

    I know people are unhappy with this decision but I am going to explain why we came to this decision and outline everything involved with it.

    Sensei Backstab - roommate of Sensei Dropshot. Has not played a game for the league and has signed up multiple times. This looked very suspicious to us and we were asked to investigate it. Upon investigation we found out that they acquired this tag with the intent of trying to circumvent the cap and the roster limits in order to use a player on their TC who would put them over cap.

    N9nthDigit - This situation is a little different. This person was playing and had things come up during the season which caused him to not be able to play when he wanted to. This was not an attempt at cap circumvention.

    Because of the Sensei situation each member of management got a suspension during the Mem cup finals and the game that Sensei should have appeared in was overturned in accordance to the rule.

    Deceptive 1: 1 week suspension
    Warweazle: 1 game suspension
    Darz: 1 game suspension

    This puts teams 1, 2, and 3 in the Mem Cup group stage tied at 4 points each. Which would cause Owen Sound to still be the number 1 seed based on goal differential.

    User @x313FukFre3Wrld (Jayson29) has been issued a 2 Season Ban with NO BUYOUT option for a General Conduct violation.

    x313FukFre3Wrld (Jayson29) attacked another user about a personal issue.

    See Screenshot Below:

    When addressed about this by LG Mcdonald x313FukFre3Wrld (Jayson29) was proven to have lied about the issue.

    @tstarr999's contract became corrupted during S30 due to a site issue and has been attached to his player profile in error since then. This was just brought to our attention. We have decided to allow the player to remain in the league on a randomly assigned contract (his old corrupted contract showing 1 season remaining will be deleted). As his previous highest contract was set at 500k, that will be the value of the RA contract. As he was claimed off of waivers with no other claims by Charlotte, he will remain on that team rather than being randomly assigned to another team. However, he will not be eligible to be called up to the NHL on his randomly-assigned contract or be re-signed for season 33.

    Issue

    Result
    • As per the screenshots posted above, the player @LemeIin requested IR due to schooling. The player was playing Sunday Nights for ESHL then traveling to school for the week. Due to ESHL times and CHL times being relatively close the player requested IR until he was completed his exams. The player stated he would be able to play full time(as per the screenshots) in two weeks time.
    • There are currently no rules stating a player on IR in the LGHL X1 is ineligible for the LGHL PSN or other events here on LG. For obvious reasons, situation will dictated if the IR is valid on a case to case basis.
    • @LemeIin has been added back to the team's TC and will be placed on IR for the next two rounds of the playoffs.
