Players, Coaches, Referees, Administrators and Their Parents
Rules for Membership
There are two issues that have been raised since we
launched:
1) User's "spamming" other users
2)
Agents and the potential for scams
Let's address and put some plans into action:
1) User's "spamming" other users
The leading violators are those looking to sell a product, looking
to join a team or soliciting with promises to connect members with
a team. The technology allows this; however; the methods being used
equate to spam and I need to stop to this practice. If a member
does not explicitly state that they are "looking for a team" or
"looking to buy practice equipment", then they should not be
solicited.
What to do: Create or join a group. We have groups for players and coaches, for businesses and equipment providers -- that is where you should post your general information. If you would like to create an sponsorship campaign to reach members, please contact our business team via my site profile.
2) Agents and the potential for scams
We have already started deleting accounts, but we need the help of
our members in flagging prospective scammers by notifying us via my
site
profile.
New Rules: All prospective agents looking to match
players or coaches with teams by charging a fee on SoccerClub
must:
a) Create a Membership with full name and location
b) Write a Blog entry in their profile, clearly defining your
services and references. You must include the following:
·Permanent website of your organization
·Your business address
·Your email, must be to a website and not a commercial email
provider (like yahoo, gmail, aol, etc)
·Your business phone number
·Any missing information will lead to the removal of your profile
and all posted materials.
These should not be considered tough guidelines to follow for a
legitimate organization. Also, these are
non-negotiable. This is my website, and I will do what is
necessary to protect my members. I have created a blog posting,
called "Blocked Users," where I will list members that were blocked
and some background to make sure they don't try again.
Thank you,
Tim McGuinness - Founder SoccerClub

I was just communicating with a Chinese guy who said he was representing the National Men's Chinese Tam, I got his contact from another soccer member website, etc., and in his e-mails that he sent me which looked valid, where he stated how much the pay would be, the benefits, etc., and then he said I must contact an office in China, to get a form that I would have to pay for, so that I could become a legal alien worker in China, etc., but I would respond as to why did I have to pay for a form, if I was being invited to be part of the coaching staff of the National Team of China, such costs should be coverd for me...so I requested that we meet so he could verify as to who he was, and after that I never heard from him...
So I agree, you have to protect your website and your members, so keep up the hard website administration work, I support it.
