~1,5 years ago I had a lot of coaching projects (didn't coached myself, had partners that done it).
At some point one of the players asked us to make lessons for him about the final stage of the tournament, during one, with our regular hourly rate. We made, it went well (final stages usually are the most difficult part and it is very difficult to explain something not during the game).
In one of my advertisements I published, that we now making final stage coaching too. It worked a week or two, then one of my haters (may be this one) started to scream that we cheating, and this called "ghosting".
Discussions opened, I disagreed in the start with the idea that if someone help to somebody else during a tournament it is the same as cheating with cards in offline. As far as I know good players always help their friends in final stages, at least all my Russian friends done so, and a lot of cash and SNG coaches making their lessons during sessions.
But then I received an e-mail from Stars explaining this issue, understood what are the problems in it, and closed the project after ~2 weeks and ~10 sessions, started to give lessons only after the tournament as Stars advised.
I didn't thought that coaching like this is unacceptable at that point, and explanations by my Russian coulegues I never considered as serious, because they always screams that all my projects are bad, including the share buying or selling
.
It definitely was a mistake to open this project and of corse big mistake to try to protect it publicly, I been just wrong.
Since then it used always by my haters with a lot of lies as usual (like as I done huge project with hundreds of tournaments, built a system and still doing it).
