If a fish is sitting at a table and is berated by players that make fun of his sharkscope he can just go to the website and block himself.

The money transfer from the Player to the ranking site not only establishes a contract between PS and the site as far as honoring the wishes of the 'fish', it also allows the site to confirm the username of the person wishing to be blocked. The transaction allows the site to make sure someone is blocking his own stats and not someone elses.

StarTracker plans to comply with these new rules.

The berating the fish is unfortunate, however I think some people just feel uncomfortable with their profitability numbers out there. Some people don't want their spouse or parents checking on them and seeing actual $ amounts can lead to problems.
