Default PokerStars freeroll & passwords

hi

yes - I'm furious

it was posted in a Candian / French site - we have banned the offending 10+ post member who has clearly been lurking for a long time

The fact that its up on a Brazilian site as well is no suprise - but its an impossible task to police any of this freeroll password stuff - I've tried, others have tried - it's just too much time and just not effective even wasting time on it 24/7

please see my reply to a similar posts about this below ...

the password post on "that site" freeroll password site has as far as I can see been removed

but it has also been found on another forum where one of their top posters appears to be a 10 post member here - they have been duly banned here and their IP

what is more frustating is I'm currently trying to play in a $109 buy-in tournament (10k guaranteed) and fannying around over a poksy $50 freeroll and the idiot members who seem to think its somehow smart to give out our league game passwords isn't doing my game any good at all

so thanks morons - I pony up $50 of my own dosh to give the majority of our good forum members a free game, some competition for a league

and you get in the way of me playing a half decent game having spent out $109 to buy-in to a game

the solution is simple ... as realistically we are never going to get rid of these morons

we just wont have any freerolls at the sites with the most issues on sharing of passwords

I'm afraid that might seem tough on our die hard freeroll members - but that's unfortunately tough - blame the morons not me

as of the end of this season of league games we will be taking Full Tilt & PokerStars out of US Open league with it's mix of freerolls and $1 buy-ins and adding in two new US friendly sites - and members who will only play freerolls will have to try some new sites if they want freerolls

We will then be launching a new PokerStars v FullTilt buy-in only league

members who will only play one or other (or both) of those sites will then get a better game without cheapskate non members - freerollers I'm afraid will have to work the freerolls on others sites or deposit

I know some will moan - but I'm tired of the grief, hastle and giving my money away to non members and or members who dont respect the majority of good members

cheers scrawnybob
