I think we're getting off the point here. The SS HUD is against the T & Cs of the mentioned site so where's the confusion? These are the rules that players click 'I accept' when they install the software. So you can whinge and whine all you want. You broke the rules and your account got suspended. And not only that, but it's specifically mentioned on the website that 'Sharkscope' is not allowed during play and also that a player cannot use data on another player unless that data was collected when they played together.

Just because the information is public doesn't make it ok. The information shouldn't be public as SS are heavily involved in datamining, an activity which any reputable poker site will attempt to stop. Stats should only be available for players on sites which don't give a damn about datamining.

We can all agree on this one at least.

I was notified by email, and had to respond to get my account back up and running.
I never harras fish for making poor decisions. there bad decisions are more profitable for me, so why would i complain or abuse them!
ide be glad they made the mistake in the first place

Having a nose now, cheers buddy

While this may well mean that the poker client will not be able to see that you are running a browser process looking at SS, are you sure it means that the client will not be able to sniff packets on your network conection, or that the client will not be able to take a snapshot of your screen?

Also, this approach may well allow you to browse the SS website w/o detection, it won't help you run the SS HUD, because the VM'd HUD wouldn't be able to read your client. (Assuming that the HUD is what I think it is.)

methods of cheating itt, please close thread now

Yeah cheers buddy, we will see you when you open your next thread crying about how FTP closed your account and took your money.

pretty hard not to cheat on full tilt poker.

3.1.8. not to disclose your Player ID

there are a few things in the rules i wouldnt classify as cheating (harrassment, begging, advertising, blaspheming lol, etc.).

op is a cheat
op got caught
op should be banned and all $$ forfeited

Some people want jaywalkers executed too.

lol... dont worry buddy boy, ille be sure to post the good news if full tilt take your $$$$ back from me.
and maybe you should email them when they do and ask for them back!
just tell them some rotter cheated them from you unfairly.
you could say i already new your previous game results, and this crippled your ability to play.
just trying to help you out here,
as you seem very unhappy about this!

another great analogy congrats.

what about cheaters which had their first and last warning about breaking the tos? what if they further break the tos to continue cheating? set up a VM (against the TOS) to hide their SS-usage (against the TOS)?

guess you think it´s ok to do so, i don´t. keep on creating private rules, curious where you "draw the line" next time. i have no trust in people who knowingly cheat, understand that and only want to know how to safely continue cheating.

hope they kick his ass, seriously.

You can all cue up and scream cheat till your blue in the face.
you all sound a bit childish tbh,as though you need something to blame for running bad.
But franxic if you seriously think my searching of the player is threatening your game, then i honestly think the underlieing problem is your end... as in your game play.
Regs can avoid eachother without having to play eachother ten times by the use of such tools. pushing chips back and forth is pointless.

ide never look at your cards in a game, have some fancy bot running, or team up to swindle you. as i would be cheating you out of your money and that in my eyes is bad.

im not cheating you out of your money if i outplay you on the table, and lets face it thats the only way im going to get your dollars. weather i break full tilts rules or not, being searching,swearing,abuse or whatever. its not going to effect your game.

if it sits better with you then YES im cheating at full tilt poker by breaking there tos rules. but is that going to have any impact on your game? if not what exactly are you worried about.

kinda reminds me off this kid at school, who used to tell the teacher whenever someone would break the rules and run in the hallway.
the running didnt effect him, but none the less he felt it was his duty to speak out
