Of course they have the "right" to enforce such a policy. That doesn't make it ethical. Neither PS or FTP have a similar policy.
My opinion is not clearly wrong. I have an educated opinion that is not just based on a dream world where businesses do what is the best for their customers at all times. In the REAL WORLD businesses consider their own interests. In your dream world I guess Pacific would hire a private detective to find you and hand deliver the money in cash and thank you for your business while they are at it?
Seriously, how naive are people to expect ethical policies from online poker sites or any business for that matter? For example, Full Tilt's policy is they can change their terms and conditions at any time without telling us but its our responsibility to check their site for updates. This is standard for many companies. Is that ethical? Just think of all the bad things they could do with that policy if they wanted to.
All I am saying is Pacific should give accounts longer before they are considered idle and then try to notify people. I do not expect them to be ethical, I just expect them to be reasonable.
