I am missing some kind of guide in creating a support site.

Like if you make a site for a NT you should always be able to look up your own players who might have been posted.
You should always have the option to remove information about own players.

I don't like to post players to a NT DB and discover that it's picking up information from all players in the team.
I see this as cheating from that country's site and it's should be stopped.

Also on the login page should give information about the sites functionality and so on.

Agreed, but also what worries me even more is the sites that save your login/password and later use all your bbapi informations for own purposes.

As an owner of an NT DB site like they mentioned, I can say I give my word to doesn't save your login datas and those player's skills, who not from our country. We have a special part for logging you players skills and follow up their development, but it is completely separeted from the NT database and not available by out NT managers and scouts.

It is kinda gentleman's agreement between the developers and the users.

I'm not saying that everybody does it. I know there are still trustworthy people out there, but I also know that at least one site abuse it.

Quoting Murphy's law:
whatever can happen will happen

and therefore some actions should be taken to secure bbapi or atleast inform users that things like that can happen.

I agree. that we have to have some trust.

Don't know if I am allowed to give a example.
But I recently gave information to a nt db where the site url was advertised under the player.

After give the login information I ended up at a pages where I have no rights and can't see a thing.

I managed to browse the site and found out thats some pages was not allowed. Others I was allowed to see, suddenly I can see information about all my players which I didn't expect since it was for NT purpose.

The front page only shows a login prompt without any information at all.

I do think that when you can make a site with multiple functions, then you should also be able to make a front page telling what the site is about. What information is given.

If you could have a site login, then some simple requirements could be checked before it is allowed.

Since we currently can't limit access to specific players, I agree that all managers need to be informed that by logging into such a site they risk giving all their players' information. I don't really know where to put that notice but I'm open to suggestions.
