DON'T be the moron who leaks the bulletin board password to the opposing side in BIGWEEK. It's happened before, let's not do it again.

Heh...

We ran into that in AW too!

1. A deliberate leaker was banned forever from scenarios. People work too hard putting them on to to have jerks screw them up.

2.An accidental leaker was beaten with clue sticks and frozen cod.

3. The command staffs were trusted *not* to look and to report said leaks immediatly so the PW could be changed. Anyone taking advantage of a leak became as guilty as the leaker.

LOL....

If I may quote "Spaceballs" the movie

[King Roland has given in to Dark Helmet's threats, and is telling him the combination to the "air shield"]
Roland: One.
Dark Helmet: One.
Sandurz: One.
Roland: Two.
Dark Helmet: Two.
Sandurz: Two.
Roland: Three.
Dark Helmet: Three.
Sandurz: Three.
Roland: Four.
Dark Helmet: Four.
Sandurz: Four.
Roland: Five.
Dark Helmet: Five.
Sandurz: Five.
Dark Helmet: So the combination is one, two, three, four, five? That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard! That's the kind of combination an idiot would put on his luggage!

Posting passwords is one thing - but even that isn't enough to stop the occasional blunder when a CM posts his carefully made plans to an open board.... that's just classic!

[not mentioning any name cos I'm sure it's happened more than once anyway]

I think that since it's possible to leak the passord it must be a feature of the game and therefor OK to do so. I read about the very same thing in regards to CV's, and planes going off the map and other stuff. HT made it possible so it's OK to leak the password. After all it's JUST a game!
