The ability to enable open fold was never an option in Settings, and that is what I was talking about - although I can understand how you might have been confused if you had not taken the time to read the prior posts for context.
So, to spell it out more clearly: yes, the team is aware that a number of players have suggested that if we want to hide open fold to protect newbies we should add an option to advanced Settings that would either hide or show the Fold button in 'check valid' situations, with the default being 'hide' (for newbies); then regs could go into Settings and enable it for themselves.
This idea - of adding a new, advanced option in Settings, is something the team is aware of. That's all I was saying.
And, although it's beside the point, it is not a matter of simply reinstating existing code; new code would have to be written to create the new option in Settings.
But the decision doesn't rest on how many lines of code would be needed. This is purely a policy decision by the PRM team. The Poker Room managers are listening to player feedback and discussing it. If the team decides to make any further changes with respect to the open-fold function, I will let you know - but for now the decision stands. All I can do at the moment is relay your thoughts and comments, which I am happy to do.
Upfront gotta ask, did Stars have an EXCESS OF RECS complaining about accidentally open-folding without being warned? Wasthere, basically, a scientific survey showing a need for this change?
I am honestly wondering.
Anyway, in response to your PERSONAL ATTACK:
Your gaslighting and accusatory presumptions are very concerning.
I am basically a rec. I keep trying to be hopeful Stars/FullTilt descent into a skill-free game at least stops accelerating. But now I suspect I am an overly loyal fool.
I play micros and almost 100% on my mobile, but I am a software developer who can imagine the back-end code for certain features -- like the "OPEN-FOLD" ability that has ALWAYS existed just not under that particular label/name! Nice try. GL is the method of those who can not rationally defend their position.
Look at my 2+2 handle -- I LEFT PARTY mainly for their support being guilty of far less insulting BS than what Stars has done for the last 18 months, NOT EVEN INCLUDING what your post just did. Personal attacks were never a regular thing in Party support thread, they seem to be in Stars now, wtf.
Other recs should be concerned how easily you dismiss their concerns / observations / analysis to the point of calling them grunching TROLLS. On this subject I am neither.
PS if you are exercising semantics, FINE there was never a setting labelled "OPEN-FOLD". Instead you had a popup prompt that asked what action to default to WHEN YOU CLICKED FOLD when you could have checked. That IS the same as "OPEN-FOLD" just a different label. The feature has been there for a decade, you try gaslighting casual readers of this thread who are too lazy/stupid to know better.
Scary to think at this point I am actually considering trying Party again. But your insulting post to me is symptomatic of Stars attitude -- first the regs were ecology-killers, now the non-gullible "don't pee on me and tell me it's raining" RECS are basically "Deplorables". Your competitors would love you to keep this up.
