That very well may be true, but is it still against the tos - or have they just not updated their site?

Can Stars ban you at a later date or will they give you a warning?

Do you use it just because they don't monitor it or not use it because it is against the tos?

Personally, I am choosing not to use it while playing? Am I making a mistake or at an unfair disadvantage?

Thanks for the input.

i had sent them an email about this a month or so back  dont have it anymore, but in a nutshell they said they were not banning people or even able to see if your using anymore, due to all the player complaints, but it is agains the tos, and would prefer players not use it.  hope this helps  gl

In my opinion, they included it in their illegal programs so they can drop the hammer on the idiots that would quote sharkscope in the chat.  Like they would get sucked out on by a fish, then tell him he was down $500 bucks.  That player would email stars and ask why this other guy knows what his results are then never plays again.  It was really self-detrimental but a lot of guys were doing it so Stars started suspending guys if they quote sharkscope in the chat.  Anyways, I use sharkscope everyday on stars and never hear a word about it.

I hear ya, but what if some day they pop up and say you were violating our TOS? Is it worth the risk of getting your account banned? Would Stars ban you for this?
