If this is true. Or maybe you jest. BUt if not. This is I understand a way to decide if you are a computer programe.

BUT IF THEY MADE YOU TYPE THAT WORD??

SOME ONE regulate that nasty bit of business. Who is running the show over there on that island.

THis sort of slur is not acceptable.

That's what I'm assuming it was. Pretty funny if it just happened to spit out the word Gayness randomly.

Yes. Thats true I guess for those in EUROPE.

Perhaps you are right. Ok. But it was questionable at the least.

But when I maximized it I had my other tables popping through left and right so I was just like WTF is this.. let me get this off of here.

Then I thought "uh oh that might not have been good, damn I wish I woulda got a screen shot", and decided to quit the session and email stars.

A screen shot would've been awesome though if that really was bot detection. You should have seen my face.. I did a double-take like, WTF? , does that say Gayness?

Well here's the response:

Quote:
Hello xxxx,

Thank you for your email and for allowing us to be of assistance.

The prompt you received is a legitimate part of PokerStars' robot player
detection and prevention system, known as a CAPTCHA. CAPTCHA is an acronym
for "Completely Automated Public Turing Test to tell Computers and Humans
Apart".

This system helps ensure that PokerStars is as free of "bots" as we can make
it. The system has been designed such that most players will experience a
CAPTCHA very rarely so as not to be intrusive upon your game play. The exact
criteria for who receives a CAPTCHA and when cannot be divulged.

We ask for your cooperation in completing the CAPTCHA whenever it is
presented to you, in order to help protect the integrity and security of our
games here on PokerStars. Failure to complete the CAPTCHA when prompted may
subject your account to unnecessary further CAPTCHAs or more careful
scrutiny of your account.

Good luck in your games, and thank you for playing on PokerStars.

Regards,

Sam S
PokerStars Support Team
But nothing is said about the word...?

I mean, I'm not offended or anything my original concern was because the word GAYNESS was used and I thought it was rather odd so I wanted to make sure it was legit. Now I see it is.

And if those words aren't random then that means someone IS cracking up!

God! A screen shot would have been epic!

bigerf - You wrote to support asking about whether it might have been a hacking or that it was weird so they responded with their typical form e-mail. You perhaps did not emphasize that it was the choice of the word itself that you found a bit strange. Post the e-mail you sent to them to confirm whether your ability to communicate was perhaps lacking or if it was their reading comprehension that completely sucked.

In other news: Stars clearly thinks you're gay.

Also: You should go around typing "gayness" in the chat box over and over again while you're playing.

Hello, I was just in the middle of playing a session when I noticed a
message come up in the chat box that said, "Please type what appears in the
box. You have 100 seconds to do this." And the word that was showing in
the box was "Gayness".. I'm a little curious to what this is about.

BigErf - Your e-mail to them proves my point exactly. You are asking them what the whole captcha thing is about (that's what the little squiggly-line typey thing is called) and they answered your question. You gave no indication at all that you were specifically asking about the word itself being an unusual choice for this.

It's obvious you weren't aware that these captcha tests are regularly done on Stars so they gave you the standard answer for that question that they get over and over again from players who are confused the first time they get this.

I am somewhat familiar just through different things I've read on here. But, I thought it would be pretty obvious (to them) when I emphasized the word "Gayness" that something was a little strange. After reading what I originally wrote to them I can see how my point wasn't crystal clear - however I doubt the guy who responded didn't get a little chuckle himself, and just didn't want to go into the "word".

I was asked to do this once. I was in 4 SIT AND GO's at the same time.

I found out why they asked when I pressed call for MODERATOR. The first MODerator told me to write them a letter.

I continued to ask for assistance. Then A moderator told me that they could not help and I must send e-mail. ALSO SOME one at the table I was at complained about me asking and the moderator told them they could BLOCK OUT MY CHAT.



THey told me it was to detect computer programs. IN AN EMAIL they sent me.

I do not remember the word so IT WAS not most likely offensive.


THANK YOU
