- Deleting users "ricedream" and "FootBallLion" from the site.
FootBallLion shouldn't be deleted from the site, because that account did not make any predictions for the first 15 matches and would have no chance to win the Oracle Challenge.
Respectfully disagree. An accounts overall prospects of winning the competition should have zero bearing on whether it should be deleted or not. The only deciding factor should be whether or not it is an alt account.
It messes with the all-time stats if it is not a bonafide competitor. Any Top 5 it obtains would take away a Top 5 from another user. The accounts overall average would be included towards everybody elses points above average. And I also believe the overall/current ranking points award points based on how many people participated so it would mess with that too.
Plus, then where do you draw the line? What would stop someone from entering an alt account a few matches in to try get Top 5's. And why stop there? They could enter 5, 10, 20+ alts to try get Top 5's as long as they waited a few matches before doing so.
If it is an alt it should be deleted. If it isn't an alt it should stay. That should be the only deciding factor and nothing else.
EDIT: Unless you mean that you don't think it is an alt account and/or should be given the benefit of the doubt. If so, ignore the above >_>
