its not whether i like it or not. It is a question of fairness. If one person in my league see the player i buy and can post it in the forum then what is the point of not being able to see all players all the time.

You are a GM. so you tell me if it is legal for me to post a player that someone else has bought or not.

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when youre sittin at the table. Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.

This is precisely what I am telling you. Once the player skills hit the public domain, everyone is free to disseminate them as he sees fit.

that is very stupid then. If someone who was bought then has a new manager so if the new manager does not post his skills then it should not be allowed.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion.

Again, once the skills are out there for anyone to see, there is, nor will there be, something to prevent users from recording those skills and using them as they see fit.

The BBAPI does not allow mining of TLed player skills, FWIW, but any manual recording is allowed (and unpoliceable).

Again this is not about what should or should not but about what can or cannot be done. If you bought a player, everybody could see his skill, everybody was able to write them down and then it is up to such a person who they would sent such na info. Like NT coach etc.

Posting in forum is another thing, not really ethical. But you can't realyl blame soemthing posting something like "I just sold such player (skills) for ....".

Knowing opponents players stats is overrated.

There's actually an interesting point buried in here somewhere. There's a difference between the initial point about enthusiasm and player skills on the TL. When you buy/list a player, you are implicitly agreeing that his skills be made public, either so that you can make an informed purchase, or to convince another manager to spend money on him.

However, with enthusiasm, you have no control over whether your opponent reveals *your own* enthusiasm setting, since both managers are aware of each other's settings. This would be like your opponent revealing the stats of a player who has never been on the TL (of course, normally managers aren't aware of those stats, but I think the closer parallel would be an NT coach revealing this info, which is taken without the manager's consent).

An argument can be made that this is minimally useful info (although I for one would always like to know whether my opponent's previous game was a TIE-TIE or Normal-Normal), and I'm not sure if just making everything totally public is a solution to this. But it's an interesting question...

if someone wants to keep their own records thats fine. But only the user who owns the player should be allowed to show their stats. If i sell the a player today i should not be allowed to show his stats to the entire community tomorrow. That is all i am saying.

why not, i am still proud of some of my old trainees and sometimes chare their old stats, i see nothing wrong with it ;)

Also i got pretty much palyer stats from my league in my chat protokoll, because most transfers get spotted from someone and discussed - isn't a huge advantage and i normally was to lazy to look for it.

If I (or any other user for that matter) has noticed a player on the market, this does in no way create an obligation to its future owners. So much to your dislike, what you're suggesting is not going to happen.
