Loss of Substitute privileges

Part of the problem was the sell privilege was given by default, so it was given - yes, but may not have been intended to be given by a careless or less experienced player. That is the rational behind it being removed. Substitutions are only intended as short term holiday relief not long term takeover so, in theory, the removal of the privilege is only for a short time until the original player returns from 'holiday' or 'sick call'. In reality, on older worlds, the substitute system is used for long and very long term playing,

I understand the problem, I understand how we've got here too. It is some selfish players abusing the system and destroying the accounts of others. But that is the real world and the world we live in!
