Props to Stars re Datamining Cheats

[Phil153]

Just a thread to say thank you to Stars for their recent actions against datamining cheats, as seen in this thread.

Using programs explicitly forbidden by the TOS of a site, and then attempting to circumvent that ban, is flat out cheating. You're breaking the rules of a site to gain information you have no right to, and that honest players can't obtain. IMO it's on par with what ZeeJustin did.

I hope Stars will continue to follow up on this and other sites will see the merits. Datamining is bad for the game and should be stopped for the long term interests of poker and professional poker players.

Thanks, PokerStars.
