But on the other hand you are the one stating to give the password only 5 minutes before the tournament start because you would otherwise get the 1 timers just wanting the password. You see, that does not count up.
That I don't post doesn't mean I don't read things here. First of all I registered with your site on Pokerstars so you are making money out of me . If you organised this ticket give away FOR your MEMBERS than you should make the terms of participating different. So pls don't give me bullsh*t.
No bullshit involved. It's very simple. Pokerstars offer us this tournament because they want to promote WCOOP. We want to attract new members with a great freeroll which has $2,900 added. So we allow new posters to post, so that hopefully they post and they keep posting. We want new posters to come to the forum and like it here. Therefore, annoying people by crashing the site on purpose wouldn't make sense.
10,000 players getting the password from a Russian freeroll site v 400 players who only had to post in a forum to get an entry worth nearly $10 each. I know which one I'd prefer, a forum post hardly takes long. The password was guessed at 1pm today and the tournament filled in an hour. If we released the password an hour before the tournament, it would be full before our members even had a chance to register.
It's just a case of something going wrong which we really didn't expect. As you can see, I'm working as hard as I can to correct this and I've apologised at least 3 times.
