This.
There must be a reason why Stars is so hesitant to suspend or even close accounts. I agree that they shouldn't just run wild and start terminating accts based any statistical coincidence, but I mean this is, at the very least, reason to at least temporarily suspend a few or all of these accounts while they investigate.
I mean how is it that any reasonable person can see that the statistical coincidences ITT are fairly conclusive that there is foul play occurring (multi-accounting at the very least) yet a dedicated security force whose primary function is to keep the games "clean" doesn't notice that this is occurring? Again I say WTF? They either have noticed and don't care or they're just not watching the games and hands that closely for statistical anomalies.
One reason is obviously they might not mind players being fleeced by bots as long as their rake intake isn't effected. I would hope this isn't the case and tend to doubt it's the main reason for the seemingly lax attitude towards potential cheats. You see this happen in other fields. I'll call this the Noel Gallagher effect. It's where people get so drunk on success, money (and cocaine etc) that they lose sight of how they achieved all their success and how prescious it really is and start putting out awful albums or in this case just not give a **** about their player base.
Could it be that Stars is just so paranoid about being known as a site that has bots and cheats that they just kind of hope no one notices?
I just can't think of an explanation for such a 'head in the sand' attitude towards what my unofficial tally has as 4 different now publicly known cases of, what at the very least can be viewed as questionable behavior by players. Just imagine how many cases haven't been noticed by 2+2'ers or PTR.. pretty gross situation imo.
