+1. I'm not one to judge people on what other fora that have been in, I prefer to judge on how they post in here. And you've asked a legit question
IMO. However like the other poofs said just keep scouting. Eventually you'll come to a player that is still available once scouted.
However there is no reason why you can't just scout him once, if you believe that you have enough information on whether you should buy him or not.
I'd say stay out of the Satan's fora though, if you have been in there. And if someone gets a bonfire going for tipping there'll be hell to pay!
