kckolbe punishment

[YoungTB]

Knowing the results of the draft and then providing advice about said draft is leaking info.

We decided not to take the article down because it was written the same time as a few other mock draft articles, and deleting this one particular one would have inevitably caused some commotion when kolbe or someone else realized it. Which likely would have resulted in people realizing that the article was a leak and then everyone would know how the draft went. As-is only people who knew kolbe was in a war room were able to accurately guess that his mock draft was a leak (which HO has evidence of different users in the league making that connection).

Read about the Streissand Effect

I'll say what I said to Daybe about the issue:

If someone involved with the draft read through the article and saw how his guesses were similar to the actual picks, then they should have took it down immediately and act like it never existed, ESPECIALLY considering Kolbe knew info about the draft. You guys could have deleted the post, give Kolbe a gag order regarding the post (basically saying if you talk about the article or about the draft then you're going to get punished), and act like it never happened. There weren't many mock drafts this year and when someone like Kolbe releases one obviously we're all gonna listen to his over anyone else's.

Article is called “Without illegal information” though

...... we did not consider this

Just eliminate the draft and this wont be an issue anymore. All players are FAs.

I can't believe HO is punishing kolbe's article and not this one. In what world does that make any sense? I hope kolbe appeals this.

I second this.

And just today on the draft stream we talked about the lack of drama

Yeah, HO has been and is extremely paranoid about leaking draft picks. I got that huge punishment for saying 1) SJ lost their only good WR to FA and 2) people in Philly didn't like kolbe.

Beaver my friend, don't ever change

Yeah but Kolbe didn’t “leak” info. Only justification you can make for leaking would be with Baltimore’s pick. Kolbe gave good reasoning as to why he chose each pick.

And if this was such a big problem, why wasn’t this article taken down in the first place?

i mean, he knew the information of the draft, and then gave "reasoning" as to why someone should put the answers that he knew had actually happened which we know for sure on at least one case helped someone get TPE. Thats a pretty serious thing.

And we didnt delete it right away because its a tough situation to be in. If we deleted it, everyone would have known that he had leaked and what he said was the right info
