Can I make picks for someone else? Print E-mail

What happens when there's an early game (like in week 1) but the person is out of town or just doesn't remember?    Not making your picks for one week can pretty much destroy you in the standings. 

We don't have a solution for this right now, but we're open to suggestions.    Maybe give the manager a button that would randomly make selections for them?    

Right now, the only option is to contact the person and have them give you access to their ID/password so you or someone can go in and make the picks for them.

There currently is no feature that would allow a manager to enter picks after the games have been played.

If you have some ideas, please share them. 

 
More than one person with the same email address Print E-mail

Can you create two accounts with the same email address?

Sure, why not!

We've changed this so email addresses are no longer unique.  If you want to create two login IDs with the same email address, it's ok now.

We don't publish others' addresses here, so we currently don't see a problem with this.  However, if something should come up, we may reverse this later. 

 
Do you filter for bad words or spamming in the message area? Print E-mail

It is possible that a member is really there to promote the sale of viagra or xanax, of course in addition to making picks.

If you find someone making posts to sell something that is not acceptable to your group, simply boot them, then report them to us.

We have intentionally not installed a bad word filter and spammers will show up in public groups.  Best way to protect yourself is to strictly control who is in your group.  There should be no way a spammer will appear in your private group unless your group code has been published somewhere. 

 
What if I don't want someone in my group? Print E-mail

As a group manager, you can remove anyone from your group by clicking the red X next to their name.  If you are not sure who they are, you can send them an email first by clicking the Send email link at the bottom of the Your Group Members screen.

Booted

When you boot a person from your group, it will not inform them they have been removed.   If your group is public, be aware, they can join again.   For this reason, it's best to email them letting them know why they are being booted.   Also, removing a person from your group does not harm their data in any way.  (All of their picks and pick results are still intact.  They could take their picks and join another group... hoping that group doesn't boot them too.)

If a person is doing something in your group that's not appropriate, give em the boot, then make your group private.  They will have no way to get back in without knowing your group code.  (Why does this bring back memories from grade school??)   If the person is doing something that violates the terms of service here (being offensive in any way) report them to us and we'll deal with them as well.

My group is public, how to I make it private? Print E-mail

Group managers can control all aspects of their group by clicking the name of their group from the Join/Build screen.   (actually, this should be called the Join/Select/Build screen, but we ran out of room on the menu)

group edit

Once you click the group name, a form will appear where you can change the group from public to private.
