Again, pardon for the assumption, but I'm not sure you have a lot of experience using seating scripts or experience with mid-high stakes Global Poker. It takes roughly .25 seconds for a human to respond to a visual stimulus if nothing else is happening. You have regulars that are playing 8-12 tables, involved with hands in progress, who are somehow able to "manually" scan other full in progress tables and join when an empty seat appears in less than .25 seconds despite playing multiple hands on multiple other tables with a join table success level of greater than 95% for each empty seat that appears. If you don't think there is a group of regs using a third party program to run a seating script on Global, you simply lack experience with seating scripts or don't play 3/6 and 5/10 on Global.
The seating script problem is worse on Global than other sites, as not having a waitlist just means anyone running a seating script is almost always guaranteed an empty seat over the vast majority of Global Regs that are not running a seating script. This makes it nearly impossible to join a table that already has a game going if you decide not to run an external program break Global's ToS.
For most 6 max games, it still sucks that people breaking Global's ToS are allowed to always get seats over people following the rules, but it's not game breaking as it's normally possible to get seats at new tables spawning. However, there are times during peak traffic, most notable Friday and Saturday nights, where 3+ people will be running seating scripts and new tables are almost impossible to join. I don't understand how this is fair, and I don't understand how Global Poker can just ignore this. If they allow seating scripts, let it be known that people can break the ToS and not be punished, so other people can develop third party programs and be on an equal playing level with them. If they don't allow them, make clear what the punishments are and who at Global will actually enforce players breaking the ToS.
