Don't list them here. It's a battle that cannot be won and you don't know how many "blocks" it's going to take for Twitter to shut down the account anyway - so that just makes it even harder.
Plus, posting them here, you're advertising for their accounts and whatever service they're providing.

Well , doing nothing doesn't work either. 99 % of the people that view their names listed here would already be members here and dont need their sites to " steal " passwords. So I don't think listing them will increase any traffic other than to go there and block them.

THATS THE SPIRIT
ok so you get to stop the person on twitter post our password, then what???? there will be always be another person giving out the password simple...................
i can name at least another 7 forums which give out the password plenty on facebook if you look dont stress out about this beyond our control
ok,, just a thought , if this concerns the freerollleaderboard , surely it would not be hard to make sure they are BRM members before paying them any winings or inviteing them to the 2k freeroll,, or how about if you are on the final table and you are not the winner just drop an email to fulltilt support saying that you think he is not a BRM member and not to pay him,,, if that is you think he is not a member,, hmmm,, confusing ,, dont know,,

Too me its not about the leaderboard ..and its not that big of a deal . However , with 200000 + members , it would probably take an hour to get enough BLOCKS on twitter to remove the offenders ... and then you do the same on facebook. Its really not that hard if you make an effort.....a very small effort. Most sites do not like being used that way and WILL remove people abusing their sites that way.
As far as full tilt removing winners because they were not members , THAT is NEVER going to happen. It is up to the sites running the freerolls to protect their own password.
fair enough , but there may be 200k members of BRM but I think you will find there are a lot fewer who use the forum on a regular baisis so starting a campaign trying to block accounts may be difficult, perhaps a warning message beside the password saying accounts will be closed if discovered passing on passwords,, cant really see a solution

Of course not . You ignore them. or report them .
Some people are just so lazy . And you know if they are too lazy to sign up for a free account to get the passwords themselves , they are also lazy fu#$ when it comes to learning the game .
So if you look at it that way , easy money early in the tourney with all the donks out there.
Of course we could do away with the late registration and post the password 2 minutes before the game ...that would work to getting rid of the password thieves
the only way to stop this is put the password 1min before so the real interested players can entry and avoid the late registration dont exist another solution...

I've seen this on a table I played the other day. Two utter pricks who should both be banned permanently although i doubt they will be as I see no reason why full tilt should care.
I do not understand the mentality of either of them. I would never steal a chocolate bar from a shop so why do people feel it's okay to steal from poker websites. I would never help anyone else steal either. And I don't see why people who are already playing would share the password as they are reducing their own odds of success. These people are clearly not poker players. They are arseholes who want to ruin the game cos for them it's just a passing fad and they don't give a s**t about it long-term.
So full tilt should ban them until they make a deposit cos it's not in their interest to have players who don't give a toss about poker and pass on their details to other sites but they won't cos they make too much profit to give a s**t.
I think from now on,, the BRM freerolls should only be played at my house, you dont get to get to play unless you have a carry out, and can use a knife and fork, if you cant use a knife and fork,, you may still get to play, if you are accompanied by an adult, who is older than you,, photographic ID may be required if your Russian, Tony is not allowed to play , because he sent me a bad email,, Pjot is not allowed to play, because he stole my Bra,, Doz is not allowed to play because I dont like him,, and he keeps giving me thumbs down,,fees may be required before entrance,, the management reserves the right to refuse admission,, some countries are not eligible,,credit cardswill be refused unless they are plastic and bendy,, cash will be accepted if not wet,, all welcome apart from chinese, whites,blacks,Europeans,and definately no! Italians
