Default Re: Would online poker benefit from 3rd party clients?

TheCutter,

why do you think the bot problem would be worse than it is now?
Is it really best for online poker if the server side is able to decide which software should be allowed to run on the client side?

Why? Because simply connecting to a server as a plugin to a poker client is MUCH easier than screen-scraping the tables, lobby, etc. Also, the pokersites not being able to detect abusive programs is IMO indeed a great problem, the user would be able to do anything he might want.
