When does this data policy start effecting sharkscope?

[a nonymous]

SharkScope made the right choice. A site that doesn't cover the vast majority of players is far less useful than one that covers everyone but has to be used on a second machine (no, I'm not just saying this because I already have a second machine - I would buy a second machine just to use SharkScope before using a service that doesn't cover most players...). This recent change actually improved the site, IMO. Ty, SS. Ty, PS.

I find SS is most useful for targeting and avoiding the sharks or regulars (thus the name), and I think regulars have a common interest in identifying one another and preying on the fish.

If I signed up at SS, I would immediately block my stats. Why would I want an opponent to have any info on me? From what I've read here, only paying members can block their own stats. This is a form of extortion and should be illegal. If it's not illegal, it's certainly unethical and Stars and every other pokersite should take extreme measures to counter it.

you definitely do not have to be a member to block your stats. ANYONE can block their stats very easily. email them

[pshady]

yeah they have had this feature since may 2006 read the faq section in ss on how to be blocked

Bump, anyone have any new info whether stars has started to warn or do whatever to people for using sharkscope. I still people mentioning sharkscope stats in these forums, so has pokerstars really done anything about this yet?
