Oooh, now who's missing?

Rupp: Virginia is now vacant according to Jobs, and I don't recall seeing it available before. But swenske is still listed at St John's in Allen, so maybe I'm just not remembering it well.

This user was not part of that. This user requested removal due to forgetting to turn off auto renew.

Thanks, was just about to remove it. And thanks for addressing this problem.

Now which world do we rename to Benis World?

Nice to see admin acting accordingly...thanks!

Are you going to reveal who the other coaches are so we know who were impacted by their cheating? Why does Swenske and, I assume, the other coaches that cheated still appear on their teams? Shouldn't they be removed?

Hello Everyone,

Thank you all for your patience with this matter and allowing us time to review the situation that we were recently made aware of. We have found multiple users were using the recruiting exploit and they no longer have site access. We have not yet closed the loophole within recruiting so at this time will not disclose what happened but the devs are working on a solution that will be pushed live in the coming days and when that does a forum post will go out letting the community know of the impacts of the changes that are being made.

Thanks so much. Great communication. Very much appreciated!

Yes, i'd like to know the names of the users also. Past recruiting weirdness would then at least make sense, and it would discourage others from also cheating.

I could then die a happy man

Interesting, The exact opposite always happens to me. I scramble to recruit last second and lose my AP points as they get locked up.

I'd assume they're freezing accounts until they can decide what the ultimate punishment will be.

Great work Benis and shoutout for the timely response from our HD overlords.

People were definitely reading the forum thinking that Swenske was gonna be the fall guy, meanwhile they were exploiting it too LOL

Incredible thank you, this was very quick action and it is certainly appreciated. Benis do you want a GC on here or someone else because I agree, we owe you and I’m sending you something my man thank you

I do not post much, but I wanted to thank Benis publicly for doing the extra work that was necessary to expose this. I have noted a few abnormalities when doing recruiting in D1 and I have never been in a conference (or close geographically) with the supposed cheater. This leads me to believe that others were aware of, and exploited, this loophole. If CS looks at this guys "friends" on his sitemail list, it would be interesting to see if the same was happening to his friends teams. While I enjoy playing, I have never come within a mile of having a championship trophy (and probably never will....but I'll keep trying). For that reason, I never followed up on the abnormalities. I think Benis should be comped on anything he wants in the whole WIS universe!

I seriously appreciate the offer but I have enough credits to play for free for awhile, so please save your $$$.

Everyone singing my praises and saying how much they look up to me is enough.

But I wouldn't hate getting that player I just lost in a dice roll tho!

Great job, Benis. Not thrilled that our conference/world has had to battle against this garbage, but thrilled that you were able to solve a site wide problem. They really should give a season credit or two to everyone affected, which sounds like it would be most players in HD. At least give Benis 10 seasons for closing a loophole that was doing serious damage to "fair play".
