Please tell me that didn't get deleted just because an FOFC member was named.

dola and all, but I see nothing wrong with FOFC hattricks working to police the game, nor anything wrong with bringing up specific examples they want to discuss. There wasn't anything irresponsible or vindictive or trollish or whatever in that thread.

Whatever happened, I didn't delete that thread.
Maybe Dennis decided to do it. I'd doubt the other mods/admins (Rryan & SkyDog) visit the HT forum often enough to decide to delete a thread like that...

I lost posts!
:p
edit to add something useful: I see nothing wrong with posts that question the legitimacy of some transactions. Sometimes it can be difficult to tell if something is fair or not or to identify if there is a pattern of suspicious activity. The transaction by the FOFC team was odd by itself, but not condeming. As a result of the post and a bit of investigating by others, it appeared that the team was in fact doing something underhanded. I don't think the thread ever became a witch hunt or unfairly critisized the player involved (unless I missed something at the end). In fact most people mentioned that he should be a chance to defend himself.
I think these threads are useful and help teach newer players how to spot cheaters. This thread wa unusual because it involved and FOFC team that was not known to the original poster. Oh well, not sure what I really added, but at least this is no longer a completely inane post.
More edit: I once found an FOFC team involved in some very questionable transactions. I PMed him basically asking what was going on. He said he didn't know what the guy who was bidding on his players was up to but he would ht-mail apoc (or us gms) and explain. Based on his record here and on HT, I never suspected the guy was cheating. I wanted to alert him that someone certainly would have reported him and that he should probably take some proactive measure.

I highly doubt dennis deleting that post unless personally asked or on accicdent. Either way he would have posted an explination.

I did remove the post, I do feel Rodney had a valid point in things as did Raven Hawk.
I was getting ready to post an explanation on it, but was called into a business meeting, and then I had to go to a client meeting. (Wow, screw BM's view that we are all truckers!!).
Here is what has happened, I have reported all 4 teams involved, they were
BUSH FC
GY UNITED
DREHER UNITED
SEAGROVE UNITED
I will be checking up on the transactions involved. If nothing has been done, I will contact a GM personally, and to keep it bias free, I will make sure it is not APOC.
Why was the thread deleted?
It's a global conspiracy, actually, with key players in the highest levels of power, that reaches down into the lives of every man, woman, and child on this planet. So, of course, no one believes me. I'm an annoyance to my superiors, a joke to my peers. They call me Spooky. Spooky Mulder, whose sister was abducted by aliens when he was just a kid and who now chases after little green men with a badge and a gun, shouting to the heavens or to anyone who will listen that the fix is in, that the sky is falling and when it hits it's gonna be the craptacular-storm of all time.
By the way, Craptacular, I know you may never read this thread, but you're my boy, blue!
I am not a USA GM anyway it would only possibly end up in my hands if teams from more than one country are involved or teams in a country without a local GM.
