I don't see what you're suggesting they do. Have someone on hand to approve every mailer that goes out? In 20+ languages, 24/7? With very little notice period and very little that can be done if there's a typo somewhere? These things are often done on tiny notice periods. You're suggesting a nightmare of bureaucracy that'll severely degrade the service.
There are no poker sites and no gambling sites that do this as far as I'm aware, and I'm pretty far aware.
I realise this... that's why i acknowledged in my post that you "used to work for pokerstars".
Anyway look, I'm not trying to just mindlessly argue with you or have anything against you, I just whole heartedly disagree with your assertion that it's a bureaucratic nightmare.
It may well be under the current systems and controls that stars have in place... but it would only just be a case of spending money in regards to creating a new set of controls (that doesn't in some way impede the current workforce any more than it does under the current system). And that is the crux of other peoples and my complaints. Stars probably viewed (at least previously) that this would was not a serious security flaw and so the cost/benefit of a different system was probably not efficient enough to even be considered. After this incident it is possible that stars will have to reconsider their controls and look at other options.
