FWIW: I have noticed Chimp_that DP'ing in the past and have reported him and got the same message. It seems that his DP'ing is somewhat chronic, although Party seems content to take away his DP privileges for a short while and then give it back, allowing him to continue to abuse it.

Thank you for contacting us.

We appreciate you taking the time to report situations of alleged
disconnect protection abuse at PartyPoker.com.

Starting with the hand(s) that you sent to us, we performed an
investigation that would allow us to examine thoroughly the account in
question; *Chimpanzee_that*

We have looked into the players records and collected all previous hands
in which this player used the protection. Our goal was to look for a
pattern where the player usually disconnects in key moments.

Some of the parameters we use when investigating possible protection
abuse:

? The player*s cards at the time of disconnection.
? The player*s previous action (whether he was betting/raising) and also
the actions of the other players at the time of disconnection.
? The benefit obtained by a player disconnecting
? The timing of disconnection
? A players pattern of disconnections
? Previous allegations made by other players and/or the system

Using the information listed above we have investigated the history of
the player thoroughly and have found that not only was the hand you
reported suspicious but this player has shown a pattern of suspicious disconnects in the past . Based on this information we have taken away
the disconnect protection privilege for this player. In the event he is
disconnected in the future his hand will be folded. We have sent an
email to the player informing him of the investigation.

touche. although now im worried that this could happen to me if i drop off in a decent sized pot and someone reports me. i dont really want to be seen as a cheat, but w/e, if it happens it happens.

fwiw, even tho party has removed the DP, i dont necessarily think it means Chimp_That is cheating. very easy for a few poorly timed drop off to look like foul play i would think. although i guess its a moot point if his DP has been taken away anyway.
