    Currently, two members are serving bans - Fiery and azzal - and they are likely to be banned when the first game is played.

    In Season 3, consistent with Cricsim, if a player was serving a ban, they missed any games played during their ban - a disincentive to get banned, you might say. This particularly impacted the Vikings due to azzal propensity to attract infractions.

    Given the round 1 line ups were named before Fiery and azzal were banned, I am inclined to let them play round 1 and serve their ban in round 2 (due to impact on odds and inability to void already placed bets).

    However, Cribb has also noted that Cricsim's policy has now changed and as such they no longer apply bans to matches.

    So - the question is, should players who are banned from the forum miss matches in their absence. A few options here.

    (1) No - forum bans are totally unrelated - let them play any match during their ban and apply this retrospectively. Free Fiery/azzal from their exclusion!
    (2) They're unrelated, but the policy shouldn't be changed retrospectively to accommodate two guys who continually get banned anyway. Maybe change the policy at the half way point of the season.
    (3) As for (2) but change the policy at the end of the season.
    (4) Don't change the policy at all. It's the user's fault for getting banned in the first place and the disincentive should exist.

    Poll to follow shortly.

    I think missing a match as you said is a good disincentive and therefore should stay so I voted 4.

    I think banning members from playing is not the way to go, obviously if it was something specific to your sim I'd back you 100% in banning players, e.g Humble's ban. Especially think it's shit when members who are active and interested members in your sim on the whole forum get denied a game because of something completely unrelated.

    That's my thoughts.

    I don't see why guys who are already being "punished" by not being able to access the forums at all for whatever period they're up to should get hit a 2nd time by being excluded from matches as well. As I eluded to in my previous post if the offence is directly related to Seasonal Rugby e.g someone signing up a multi etc. then 100% put in a penalty specific to the sim but otherwise I think it's overkill.

    If you get banned you dont take part in simmage.
    Cause you can just keep getting banned and still be in simmage

    I would make the policy in line with the CricSim. I think it is good for the sims to match up where possible e.g. having to represent the same rep team across all sim.

    I think if your banned you shouldn't be able to play. I'm sure most people can survive without this forum for a week but being banned from playing can be more of a disincentive.

    If you have a "propensity to attract infractions", you deserve to not be allowed to take part imo.

    I think Azzal should be pardoned, he gets a raw deal. Everyone else should pay the price.

    I think it would be harsh to ban them from the second game considering they likely wont be banned then.

    Though I think a banning directly from you in regards to Seasonal Rugby should probably see a player not able to play in a match.

    Keep as is imo. It's the forumers fault for being a cunt and the teams fault for signing such a notorious player

    I voted 4, but then read that Cribb changed CricSim policy. Personally I think it should be 4, but I think it should also be in line with what CricSim is doing, so for now I think they should be free to play.

    I voted for (4) Bannings are relevant to simming. Keep the current policy in place.

    It's logical. A good punishment.

    Really even split for options 1 or 4 so Heef has some thinking to do.

    I voted 4, in real life off-field behaviour often affects eligibilty to lay on field. It is more realistic to go with 4 IMHO.

    One of the reasons Cribb stopped doing it was that it was tricky for him as simmer to bring in fillers for banned players. For me, it's incredibly easy. So, there are no such operational issues.

    I think it should be standard across all sims or not at all though. I think if it's too much of a pain for Cribb and he's happy to let them play then they should be able to play over all sims. Just my two cents.
