So I don't know if this has already been talked about but I did some searching and I couldn't find anything similar.

So fleaflicker allows for IR which is great, it allows you to setup a maximum number of IR which is also great, it also allows you to setup what status is required before IR is allowed (out, doubtful etc.) which is fantastic. I don't have a problem with any of this.

Unfortunately what I do have a problem with is the system not forcing roster changes when a player who is on IR has a status change. For example the league I am in allows for players who are considered OUT to go on IR but there have been several times where that players status changes to doubtful for a day or so, and then goes back to OUT and as long as the team does nothing he gets away with not having to drop someone. I thought fleaflicker forced teams to make the change when a players status changed. Is there a setting our league has wrong that is circumventing that? Or is this working as intended, and if so can this be changed?

Also, I don't know where Fleaflicker is getting their status updates from, but it's garbage. It changes way to often during the week based on speculation and rumor. We used to do IR manually based on info from NFL.com and players status changes were way easier to track as the info only updated twice a week. IR is almost made useless for non keeper leagues if you use Fleaflicker because the status of a player can change multiple times during a day! What's the point?

The status moving to OUT in the game is irregardless to the matter. Like we said before, the moving of injuries during the game is to notify teams and users that they were injured and to be on the lookout to see if it gets more serious (check the blurbs and even more importantly, check our projections, they are accurate and are updated every few hours).

We won't be addressing the issue the rest of the season. I believe you have all the information you need above.

How can you not see that as a problem! You have a system set up that allows leagues to set players on IR based on status! If you change that status It changes what teams within a league can do with their roster, giving teams that have players listed as OUT the advantage of carrying larger then normal rosters! Which means less players for other teams looking for legitimate pickups.

To the extreme contrary...moving them OUT is the exact matter. "the moving of injuries during the game is to notify teams and users that they were injured and to be on the lookout to see if it gets more serious" How can the status get more serious than "out"?

"(check the blurbs and even more importantly, check our projections, they are accurate and are updated every few hours) Fleaflicker doesn't track any changes in the players status, its a change then that changes stays until after the waiver. How can a player that Fleaflicker has listed as "out" continue to accumulate points during the game? Then on Tuesday, still listed as "out" have projected points?

FFCSR_Hal you have not only proven my point in my previous posting but you have now raised additional issues. Free fantasy sites attract many novice players and your incorrect information is dramatically misleading. I have been dealing with "how can that guy have such a high projection if hes out?" or "fleaflicker he was fine but ESPN says hes out and now its to late to grab another WR."

You Hal have now made this personal by replying "I believe you have all the information you need above." All of the post have said "we" so I can only deduce that you are either the owner or officer. Your sheer arrogance here is causing players to not want to continue to use Fleaflicker. "We wont be addressing this issue the rest of the season" again shows your lack of consideration to correct your mistake and your arrogance to admit there is an error.

Some of my players do not visit other sites for information seeing that I chose Fleaflicker so they just use your site. Some of them have now decided they can no longer trust your information so they have ventured off to other sites and now are asking why don't we use the other sites.

Gaald has said it best "If you change that status It changes what teams within a league can do with their roster, giving teams that have players listed as OUT the advantage of carrying larger then normal rosters" and if you cannot see this as a gross error then there are even bigger issues.

We cannot change players during a game so incorrectly changing a players status does not but cause confusion and waiver issues. At no time this past weekend did RTSports.com, ESPN.com, Yahoo.com, myfantasyleague.com or NFL.com list Ryan Matthwes or D Thomas as "out." And as for using "irregardless" I am not even going to address that.

Just another perfect example of Fleaflicker misinformation. Right now, Friday Nov 16 @ 12:45 pm PST P Garcon is on my IR and Fleaflicker has his status as probable and the blurb has him as questionable. Which is it?
