When asked to be a staff member on this site, I had no idea I would be asked to make judgement calls on whether edited league files would or might cause offence to some people for political reasons

Should we not upload Gibraltar or Crimean files for fear of offending Spanish and Russian/Ukrainian users then? Shall we remove Qatar and North Korea from FM too? And, from what I've ended up having to read, I can't see anything about the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus which screams "illegal regimes which violate human rights, international law". The FA page seems to be very well organised, with public visits from French consuls and UK ambassadors (or vice-versa). Doesn't scream to me as being as totalitarian and evil as you are painting it out to be.

I'm satisfied that this file was uploaded in good faith and it will therefore stay on the site. I appreciate your argument, but I don't really see any need not to have this file available here. You are, of course, free not to download it, as is your right.

"I can't see anything about the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus which screams "illegal regimes which violate human rights, international law". "

Nothing apart from UN Security Council decision, and European Court of Human Rights and European Court of Justice decisions... apart from the fact that you are criminally prosecuted in the UK if they find that you hold a land registry of TRNC.

I would insist of changing at least the topic from Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus to something else. TRNC is an illegal entity!!! Is not about political debate.... It is illegal.. you have to distinguish between the two. Your comparison to Gibaltar, Crimea is wrong, they are totally different situations. Use the word Turkishcypriot league, but not the name Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.

I'm talking to you in a friendly tone and I'm not screaming. But I will tell you something again in a friendly tone... ignorance sometimes make us to take the wrong decisions.

This is a fictional league ....

This is not real ... what is the problem?


So if someone creates a fictional league named the "ISIS League" or the "Third Reich league" will you accept it? It's an illegal regime in the north of Cyprus and the league is banned from FIFA , UEFA and international football. TRNC is an illegal state and its "flag" is prohibited. Illegal regimes which violate human rights, international law should be prohibited from anywhere. I don't want to mix politics with football manager but some stuff are sensitive for some people and you should respect that!
