From what ansky is saying, ghosting = sweating and giving advice without any financial interest in the sweatee.

Gets a bit more murky if a backer sweats/coaches his backee though imo.

so if JJProdigy's buddy was in a tourney and got to the money..it would be fine if JJ told him how to play every single hand as long as he wasn't getting any money out of it??????

but what if afterwards the buddy is like man I would never have won without all that advice..I should give him something for helping me...

does it then become not ok after the fact?

I was just clarifying what was meant by ghosting.

Personally, I have never ghosted nor been ghosted by anyone and think that in principle, it's unethical. I also think it's impossible to enforce. I still think sites should have rules in place against the practice though.
