Stars catches a bot and it's........my mom - Page 4

Here's what really happened to me that might also happen to her but instead at Party.

One day I was playing part by 3-5 months ago and suddendly out of the blue a screen pops up asking to type in this word to verify i'm human. It's one of those things that you have to type in to make sure a bot isn't doing it. Like the stuff you need to type in when registering for emails or forums.

So my guess is she probably got that at STARS, and with the computer skills that you siad she has, she wasn't able to type it in time

Yeah... why would any 57 year old woman enjoy randomly pushing buttons as fast as possible with absolutely no thinking involved, just so that she can occassionally win small amounts of money which allows her to continue pushing buttons until it all runs out?

btw, ever seen the inside of a casino?

Not that Teddy has done anything wrong...but I imagine this would fit into the scenario of someone designing a bot.

They are a decent poker player; they play online themselves. Plus, they have some computer saavy, so they design a program. Not wanting to compromise their situation, as they are doing well beating the games "straight up," they decide to give it a whirl at moms house on the microlimits.

Now "mom" is 6 tabling the .01/02 or whatever, red flags, good job pokerstars.

Um its so easy. Use a new e mail, physical address, phone #, CLEAN computer, ect... its easy as 123!!

Just doing seemingly random things triggered this? They'd have to ban everyone who plays any type of microlimits.

I'm anxiously awaiting these emails! If this is true I might never play at stars again [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I met Teddy on the cruise and he seems as perfectly abnormal as anyyone else. I have no reason to doubt he's making this up.

However, I too would like to see the e-mails just out of curiousity.

FWIW - I had a couple of e-mails with mike O'Malley and I asked if it was okay if I posted the e-mails on 2+2 and he said that as a public represntative of Party he anticipates that this is always a possibility so he has no problem with it.
Sopmething like that anyway.

If Stars banned her account and won't give you specific reasons then I see no reason why it would be inappropriate to post the e-mails they sent you.
As long as it's okay with your Mom then you should do it.
If Stars doesn't llke it then that's their problem. But I don't believe they have any real cause to have an issue with it unless they otherwise say so ahead of time.

If it's really uncomfortable then send an e-mail to stars support asking if it's okay to post their responses in the 2+2 thread.

Also, send an e-mail to Lee directing him to this thread. Much better chance of him seeing the discussion about it then just 'hoping' he happens upon it.
