Just after the story with blocking accounts started I sent a letter to party-support, and got answer. The date of the message is 4/23/07. Here it is:

Hi!
My login at partypoker is xxxx.

My wife is going to take part in PokerStrategy educational programm.
At their web-site they have a list of poker-soft to install:
http://www.pokerstrategy.org.uk/en/software/
Does partypoker permit to use the listed programms:
PokerTracker
PokerAce
Texas Grab'em Hand Recorder?
Looking forward an answer from you.
================================================== ===

Has the politics of partypoker been changed at this few days? It would be nice to see an official answer of partypoker management here, because it seems to me that ordinary staff at partypoker even don't have a common opinion about permited and prohibited programs.

That's exactly kind of post that I expected here. Thank you!
I really want to know position of pp.com management about it just to be sure about my money.

The policy is pretty clearly defined at http://www.partypoker.com/about_us/g...dvantage.html.
3rd party software that is defined as giving an unfair advantage (a.i./bots/data sharing) is prohibited.
3rd party software that works with your own data is not (pokertracker, etc.).
The confusion in this case seems to be that the agents are strictly referring to prohibited software, and it is being read as "all 3rd party software'.
Nothing has changed recently in the policies.

To MikeO/Party
As your departments are giving different answers to the simple question and the players, using PT and PA, were blocked even without notice, the chance of unfair blockage for every partypoker player is rising up to 100%.

[ShipitFMA]

Argh, what is the correct information? Is it allowed?

[Woodhead]

To MikeO/Party

Comment please. And officially answer not one question. I not óñòàíâëèâàë additional poker programs about half a year. If your policy has not changed, why also I have appeared is blocked? PT. PAH. SpadeEye. Pokerindicator, I used them always.

[BennyTK]

does anybody know how they can find out about me using pokertracker and pa hud?

[Woodhead]

Mike, please comment the situation. And give me an official answer to the
questions:

1. I have never installed additional poker-programs but PokerTracker,
PokerAce Hud, SpadeEye and Pokerindicator. Why this programs always were
above suspicion, but now our accounts become blocked and our money are
seized? I'd like to stress, that I have not installed ANY OTHER PROGRAM for
half a year.

2. I switched to play at partypoker after my fight against bots at UB
failured. I tried with all my might to make UB prohibit bots, showing them
facts.
