Cheaters DO NOT get banned...contrary to popular opinion!

[a1i]

So, I have had the privilege of reading some of the comments of the more esteemed moderators and admins in many topics about cheating like this thread: http://forum.topeleven.com/top-eleve...ociations.html

So yes, I believed like many of you that whoever cheats gets banned and the words were so strong and firm that there was no way we would fall victims to cheating players without them paying the consequences so beware! or so we were told.

Few weeks ago, we had an association match up with a team full of 6-7 stars and one 9 star. Seemed like it was not fair since we would average approx 125% all of us and being paired with 6 stars or even 7 stars is fine not with an extra 9 stars! Anyway, long story short, 1 hour after checking the draw one of the teams that was 100% 7 stars suddenly became full of 169% players. Look, I powertrained for 20 seasons and understand just how time consuming it is to get to 140% let alone 150 and 160 but this guy achieved 169% in 1 hour or so. Impossible!

So sensing a cheating player we complained. We were ranked 22 in the world 3 weeks ago and feared for our ranking so we reported the team in question and the original 180% team and were told rest assured etc etc.

So, heartbreaking as it were, we fought valiantly and drew our semi final duel 18-18 and lost by a goal difference of 4. Yes, we were proud but crushed at the same time cause we surely lost top 10 worldwide which we were aiming for... we play well against weaker and stronger teams alike and felt with a fair shake we could make it. We didn't. We finished 3rd, felt the worst in terms of unfairness, but hey! if they paid for it (what personal training would cost him somewhere around 2000-3000 bucks to get there?), we felt oh well.

I have been following up doggedly on this ticket and today the very courteous Nordeus rep told me that indeed one manager was cheating, the other wasn't but well we thought at least 'great' we would get something to compensate for being cheated out of a trophy.

Here it is: we got nothing. Not only did we not get swapped trophies with those cheating assholes but we couldn't get any points added up to our tally to compensate us for their cheating.I mean hey, if their teammates found out they were e-doping (lol), they would say "here mates, you deserve it more". Nada. They don't have the capability they said. Well that didn't sit well but...

The worst? Salt to the wound is that I was informed that the cheating manager was WARNED about his cheating and his cheating resources were taken away from him, and told he would be banned IF he cheated one more time!!!

Really? A slap on the wrist? How so very generous!

So sure, you mods and admins you can tell us "There is no mercy" and "zero tolerance" and all those buzz words, but truth is this guy cheated and got a slap on the wrist, got his team a first trophy and still laughing his ass off playing the game like the sleaze he is.

So guys, don't believe what you read. Cheat! if you can, or know how. It pays off!
