PartyPoker prohibits usage of any side-software?

[Akimka]

There was a topic about guy who got his account locked and accounts of his friends (they have pokerschool or something but there no collusion and teamplay as I know)

Anyway to make long story short - at end conversation party rep said (quoting and translating from russian:

"Policy of our company sais that users forbid to use ANY software except partypoker client. Only table and his cards."

On question about pokertracker and that 95% or players using it rep said "That's matter of time." and added something about race between men and motoracers".

Anyway this statement looks shocking for me - is Party really forbids usage ANY programs? Can anyone confirm or deny it? Is there anyone who close to partypoker management? Is this is an end for all professional players to play on partypoker.
Because if it's true that any winrates meaningless because Party can withold your funds anytime. I bet that rep was incompetent but he need to represent opinion of management, isn't he?
