I read on the stars website that they keep your details on file even after you've requested your account to be deleted.

However, obviously weve just had the GDPR regulations come in to force.

A bit of further digging seems to give the impression that it is now possible to request your account is permanently deleted.

Thinking about deleting as I seem to be in a lot of Russian seating scripts and it is taking the enjoyment out of cash games.

I've read your post twice and, not to be unkind, I'm still not sure what the point is.

„Once the account is closed and personal information removed“ is several years after you ask to have your account closed.

It appears it is now possible to have your pokerstars account permanently deleted. It has not been previously possible.

Ignoring that, as stated in the thread you made in BQ, it's just people sitting when they don't recognise a user and people assume new players to be fish until proven otherwise, how exactly will deleting your account allow you to enjoy the cash games, given you then wouldn't have an account?

I think he is trying to get across that under these new rules if someone is completely erased from PokerStars and they have no personal info on file, anyone can rejoin and PokerStars will not have the information on file that they were previously a customer. OP could close his account, rejoin, and not be on the seating scripts for a week or two.

Not sure that's how it works and pretty sure PokerStars security would already have some elaborate scheme in place already to prevent it. Let us know if it works (post both usernames for proof).

This blows my mind, could they possibly be 10NL/25NL regs bumhunting at 50NL, and happen to also play 5NL? Doesn't make sense to me

Seems he likes seafood, particularly when they are in a large fresh water area. Rest of his posts are a bit muddling.

Theres definitely more too it than just being a fish. When 4 players check round and instantly leave the table as soon as you leave. Reported to PokerStars they swear blind theres no collusion.

They need more evidence. Consider using a lot of red string and sticky notes on a wall, putting all of your thoughts together that way, then send the photo to Pokerstars. Telling weird made up stories (that don't show anything) one at a time here will get you nowhere.

Remember, whatever it is you are trying to do and say is extremely important to you, so handle that appropriately.

All the best.

Probably because they do not get swarmed by those with seating scripts when they join a table, nor have the table insta break when they leave it. The little things mean a lot.

All the best.

BTW, signatures are disabled on our forums because they annoy the hell out of people. I think signing off your posts with the same phrase is going to get old quickly. Actually, I believe it already has.

That reminds me I recieved a message the other day. Although I find it odd as a frequenter of online forums for some years. It has now gone

That can happen when the moon cycle approaches a new moon. Annoying, but a long part of forum message protocols.

True enough.

No question, some forums embrace signatures. Our membership never has, for whatever reason.

Thanks.
