Stars starting partylike antibot popup?

[canta]

I was playing a sng on pokerstars and had the autohotkey "active window info" open.
Suddenly i see this (last 3 lines):

>>>>( TitleMatchMode=slow Visible Text )<<<<
Stack: largest 4300, smallest 910, average 3000
Your current position is 3 out of 3
Time bank balance is 60 seconds
in 9 min blinds 100/200

Besides me being shortstack, what is this? I cant see any pictures or characters,
maybe this is something Stars is gonna start using. I remember Party had something like it when i played there.
Is this a part of a recent update? (i havent done it cause i would lose my mods)
oh well, just an observation.

I've been wondering about it too... I guess they only use it if they actually think you're a bot?

it has been in the software for quite some time.
i did get those messages when multitabling a fairly large number of SNGs.

I got this when I first started using the AHK scripts about 2 months ago. Entered in the letters, it went away, they never put it up again.
