I guess if you are required to do something to get a password I don't think it should be shared, but if one is just given out on a podcast, show, etc. I think that is a little different. I don't think listening to a podcast is the same effort to "earn" the password as the steps we have to take to earn enough points to enter our freerolls.

Well, I disagree. The people who give out the passwords on their show chose to do it that way because it got more "hits" on their podcast or more new listeners to their station. Like everything, they make the decision to do free-rolls based on a "return-on-investment". If they get 40 people in their free-roll but only 10 people actually listen to their podcast or broadcast, what do you think the odds are that they will do that tournament again?

With the Facebook free-rolls, Full-Tilt and other sites do that to get people to "like" their Facebook pages. If a free-roll is done through the Full Tilt Facebook page all they are trying to do is get members of their poker site to get a small bank-roll to increase the total rake and potentially get new users (or current users who those with the small BR win off of) to. For this reason, the Facebook free-roll PW's are OK to share in my opinion. Though, realistically, you should like their Facebook page if you play there... I mean, how tough is that?

Make sense?

I have been on another similar site to this where alot of password stealing occured. Hopefully it doesn't happen here too often!

[gefishy]

I do my best to be sure it is kept to a minimum. Sadly, this seems to be a common theme across bankroll building sites or free-roll sites. You may see readily accessible passwords shared here (Facebook passwords, or passwords from the websites of poker providers) but considering how easy they are to get, even that doesn't happen frequently.

Well, it is nice to know that there are "active" moderators on this site that work hard to prevent these sorts of things. The similar site to this one didn't seem to do much to prevent it which showed much lack of dedication.

Oh, if you ever get bored, do a search because I've made a few threads (dating back to when I started here) that detail my stance on password sharing. I'm not rude about it, I just think that this site can be better than that.
