In a public world there was an alias, here is how bad it was:
The Alias was in the same division as the cheating owner, traded him his best players and prospects over the course of a season. The trades were called out as bogus but not enough owners wanted to use the veto to stop them so the first few trades went through. Eventually it was so clear that team A was an alias to team B that no more trades went through. Team B put his new young talent but sent it to the minors and proceeded to lose every game possible until he had was in dead last with top waiver priority. Towards the end of the season Team A(the alias) places on waivers his top two remaining players. Team B claims them. This sends outrage through the league Team A puts up a post saying it was a mistake and he didn't mean to do it but he's a first year owner and didn't know any better. Team B laughs to the bank.
An owner in the world, who is not me, sends in a help ticket to admin and says hey these guys are obviously the same person can you look into this? The whole season Team A and Team B have maintained that they are not an alias and have made no mention of being pals or anything.
Admin comes back that they have the same IP address and that they asked the two teams what the deal is and they said "roomates"
Team A in one season traded several top players to team B, then when trades were questioned accidently waived his remaining top players and Team B was in last to claim them. Team A decides he doesn't like whatifsports and never comes back again.
Team B now ripe with all this stolen talent competes for the playoffs the following season, comes in sixth and makes the playoffs. Wins his first series and goes on a tirad about how great he is, wins another series and continues rubbing it in everyones face. Owners start reminding him that he is a cheater and had an alias he doesn't care.
I post saying he is a cheater, had an alias, and should not be allowed to play in whatifsports period... and my posting rights are revoked as a terms of service violation, admin says I can not accuse anyone of cheating or being an alias.
Oh yeah, and Team B just won the world series.
... and, five pages later ...

Correct, erffdogg. Now what would there be about
cheating on HBD that would make them change the subject so aggressively, and conduct a five-page filibuster to prevent a return to the subject??????
