msc 18,442 Posted January 1, 2021 There is a leniency claim on the go with one of our forum members, so I advise folk not to post their teams publicly ahead of the traditional noon deadline. Trying to fix it ASAP in a fair manner. Also hungover. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,442 Posted January 1, 2021 Talking to one of the wiser older heads on the Cmme. They make a solid case for no leniency, as does the fact the person spent half an hour POSTING ON THIS FUCKING FORUM WHILE I SLEPT.
