February 29, 2027 does not exist. Yet that is the end date typed into the Soccerverse FA notice that handed UnAndaluz ⭐⭐ a six-month ban and turned one veteran goalkeeper into Discord’s hottest grenade.

The same notice says he is eligible to return on March 1, so the intended endpoint is clear. The calendar clanger is still spectacular, la.

Of the 2,000 latest public messages pulled across the 30-day window, 243 came from #soccerverse-fa. The controversy finder rated a 43-message August 28 exchange and a 61-message August 30 sequel at the maximum 3/3. That is 104 messages of Rule 5 warfare.

This is no repeat of the abstract referee-or-rival argument. There is a transfer receipt, an injured starter and a manager threatening to cash out.

The 192,496 SVC question

Game records confirm Takanori Sugeno moved from Sapporo to Ndola Orange on July 4 for 192,496 SVC. The archive lists him as a 57-rated goalkeeper that day; he was 42. Both camps described the fee as 12 times his value.

The FA notice announced a unanimous finding that Rule 5 had been breached. It said the deal moved an unwanted player between connected clubs and improperly benefited Sapporo. The published guidance permits multi-accounting but tells users not to do “dodgy things” between their accounts. Live club data currently lists UnAndaluz among the top five influencers at both clubs.

What you did is to put a player you didnt want in another team of your control. Rule 5 broken. End of story.

UnAndaluz’s answer was that Ndola needed a second goalkeeper because its starter was seriously injured—and that neither club was harmed.

Give me one single reason why this transfer harms either of the clubs involved, or have some decency and unban me

The archive supports the first half of that defence. Ndola’s 62-rated Toaster Nsabata was injured from May 23 until August 10, covering the transfer date.

Gevenito initially cited June 20–26 injury dates and said all the keepers were fit, then corrected the player: Nsabata was the injured starter. Those June dates belonged to Evgeni Latyshonok, who did not join Ndola until July 29.

But the records also show another Ndola goalkeeper, Brock Marlow, was 57-rated and had no active injury on July 4. The emergency was real; whether this exact 12-times deal was necessary remains the fight.

Do I think this ban was necessary: no. Do I think they can ban you according to the rules: yes

The quit threat that bought more

On August 31, the row jumped from the FA channel to the market.

I want to sell my entire portfolio. I've been treated arbitrarily, unfairly, and informally, and I don't want to keep playing anymore

Three days later, he said he had received offers but had not sold and still liked Soccerverse. The live market snapshot now shows 1,420 SVC bought and zero sold by UnAndaluz over the past seven days. The in-game order flow does not yet show an exit.

Instead, he proposed five offence levels with punishment tied to severity, intent and repeat behaviour. cloudsv_ said the framework made sense as a future reference and offered to pass it to the team.

Then joachim_95952 pushed the row somewhere more fundamental: replace access bans with compulsory fines because technically capable users can keep playing through another backend.

How about binning the bans and replace them with a ‘forced’ fine (a fine you can't skip).

There's nothing FA can do to stop anyone from playing from their own backend.

That is the real verdict, pal. The FA can defend an avoidable inter-account transfer; UnAndaluz can prove the injured-starter claim. Neither side should be satisfied with loose “dodgy” wording, changing public explanations or sanctions the system cannot fully enforce.

Publish the tests, tighten the penalties and fix the calendar. If your six-month ban ends on a day time itself has binned, explain yerself.
