Re: Ethics of datamining on stars?
[ QUOTE ]
This post is in response to certain members of the 2+2 community who are openly datamining PokerStars, despite this being in flagrant breach of their T&C's.

No it isn't, and to do so is against our terms of service. Datamining of
observed hands is strictly prohibited. Of course, you are permitted to
record hands in which you have actually played.

I agree with most other people that this rule is slightly pointless, hard to enforce, and they should be concentrating on more important matters.
However, All that we have that seperates us from the scum like RayBornet is the T&C's. If we condone breaking one Term, then it becomes a moral free-for-all.
All I am suggesting is that, as a community, we cannot openly condone breaking any T&C's, and should all make an effort to "toe-the-line" and stick to the T&C's. If we think the rule is wrong, then we should take that matter up with PokerStars rather than breaking it.

I agree with you Stigmata.
