I don't know how to find the thread but it was April 2010.
WifS came out with new Fair Play Guidelines and tried to apply them to private worlds. I refused to roll, as commish, with smoelheim in the world because he had, in a far less overt way than your boy, admitted to tanking. I offered to give up commissionership(?) to anyone in the world who was comfortable with smoelheim returning. And the world chose to remove their teams. I think we got down to 5 before WifS reacted.
