Title: Ethics and other stuff
Post by steelkings on Aug 3^rd, 2004, 8:34am

I have a peer who is willing to share his user name and password to just about everyone to a ffl site that I wont name.( KFF...) I think he is pissed at them. I told him I wasnt sure if it was cool! Your thoughts?

Also. Does anyone have, or know where I can get a blank depth chart for a 12 team draft. I want to track my opponents depth in order to predict there future picks.

That's just wrong and, I am certain, a breach of the "Terms of Service" he had to have agreed to when signing up. They surely have ways to track this kind of stuff and can tell when an account is being abused. Your friend is playing with some serious fire. He could easily be sued once they figure it out, which they will if he is disseminating his entrance permissions to a ton of people. (I mean, though I think it's wrong, you can get away with this on a small scale, two or three guys pooling resources, but NOT en masse as you seem to be suggesting this guy is doing.)

Well, it would be easy to make one in Microsoft Word or Excel. I will be making such a thing for the upcoming live GBRFL draft on Saturday, August 21st. If you can wait that long, I will gladly send you a copy. Otherwise, I'm going to (once again) pimp one of my favorite fantasy football magazines, Pro Football Weekly's Fantasy Football Guide, which has such a chart on pages 94 and 95. Not to mention, it's a fantastic publication (though not really timely) and it's MY pre-season fantasy football Bible (besides my own brain). It's $6.99 and it is worth every cent!

If he is upset with them, he should address his concerns to them and if he complains enough, I'm sure they would consider giving him a refund. However, by sharing his password with everyone else, he is just screwing over himself and everyone else who pays for the service.

As Steg said, you could do it yourself in Excel very easily. If you don't use Excel, learn it! It is a fantastic program and can do some wonderful things.

Anyway, this website http://www.profantasysports.com/fb/LeagueDraftTools.htm has some worksheets that might help you. Check them out.

I really like some of the kffl stuff. I.E the daily practice and injury report. Its a bit pricy in my opinion though.

I agree with yous guys! Not sure about the en masse thing though? I think he doesnt have en masse friends.
