My 0 cents in the freeroll PW thieves debacle

lol, great idea but so much work its true

all thats going to lead to is a prorail going postal on someone that means they have less than and hr to register 1k people sorry but that SUCKS all your going to do is tick off people for not getting in and the poor prarails are going to be like F this its to much work

If it's set up properly - ie the prorail gets a page on the site with a list of all the people who have replied to him, that links to the ft site (like the pages that allow ppl to enter the regional freerolls) then it will be about 2 minutes work for the prorail. It may even be possible for the railbirds to have their own 'register' button on the site... the programming for this would take me less than a day. The only thing needing to be organised is having ft allow the page referrer to be railbirds.com. If they won't allow that, then they may agree to having a page that is only accessible to specific people - e.g. 6 raibirds prorails. this page they can set up and allow this prorail to paste all registrants into a text box, and press register.

In essence, if we can get ft to cooperate in ALMOST ANY way, then this pw problem disappears.

sure, sending 60.000 individual passwords one by one isnt that hard eh

Yea it is a very good idea, but the workforce you would need for that.. If the company was multi million i could see it being done

i feel sorry for that prorail being hammered for an hour str8, thats just stupid

Everybody would be in trouble if I were a prorail having to do this. I am the slowest typist on the face of the planet. Not everybody would get registered.

ButtonDog,

I challenge you to a typing contest, slowest wins, I think I’m slower

"Buttondog: Everybody would be in trouble if I were a prorail having to do this. I am the slowest typist on the face of the planet. Not everybody would get registered. "

Isn't that the point? To reduce the number of people who get registered? LOL

Wizz

Would never work. Normally have to shut down PRE reg like that 48 hours before tourney to allow FTP to get it done... with PokerStars... never happen. I think things are going better now however ButtonDog did make a very good suggestion in a previous post about playing for points only .. until a once a week $$ freeroll tourney....

Thanks.

Now I read your idea about the link... I'm sorry but I don't think that would work either.. and what about PokerStars? Again, I think we're much better off now and I guess it doesn't really bother me much if a few people get through.. no biggie (IMO).

Good luck.

Send the PW about 10 minutes before the games start. we know what games are starting when . They wont have time to shop them around.

I don't want to be the prorail

Why not just a page like the one for the Thanksgiving tournament?

great idea.. gl on workin it out
