The stars are just an indication of how much you've payed in rake recently. It means you'll have a lot of VIP points which can be used to enter certain tournaments. I believe you can exchange them for a small amount of cash if you play on TigerGaming.

IT IS GG
Another change that I think is a bit too extreme. I do believe table limits help the ecosystem, but I prefer something like 6 for 6max, 9 for 9max and no more than 9 if you mix. I tend to play 3-4 at once most often so this doesn't affect me too much, but there are times I do like to play more.

There's more than a few obvious ones. I'm currently aware of about 25. About a month ago 25 other bots disappeared. I've sent them lists with the names of most of the still active bots. They know who they are. Why they can't get rid of them all at once I just don't know. At least there's not 50 going at once any more between 25-100nl. 25 active bots with the recent decreased traffic is still pretty ridiculous.

That seems to be the case.

I would guess these are all done to try and escape notice. However I strongly suspect there's some type of agreement between the site and botters. Like "you follow these unwritten rules and we won't ban you".
And suddenly it just so happens that there are sweeping changes to the site and: A) Banning some of the bots isn't one of them and B) The changes that are put into place don't affect the bots at all.
If they're not house bots, which we have no evidence of, then it's almost a certainty that some of these bot users are using multiple accounts. Like you said when one leaves another almost immediately replaces them. Someone has bots running nearly 24/7.
Like I said above A) is slightly incorrect, at least for nlhe cash games. I agree with B) and the rest of what you said.
