So while I was playing I got a message in the chat telling me to type a random word to verify I'm human. I emailed Stars about it and heres part of their reply:
| | What you witnessed was known as a "CAPTCHA", which is an acronym for "Completely Automated Public Turing-Test to tell Computers and Humans Apart". In a nutshell, it is a part of the PokerStars software intended to ensure that our games are free of "automated players" sometimes known as "bots". Occasionally, players may be asked to complete a CAPTCHA based upon various aspects of their play. Exactly which aspects, or when a test may be triggered, or how often the may be triggered, is not something we can reveal. |
I cant decide if this is a god or bad reflection on my game. Either someone complained that I read their soul or Stars thinks I play super basic machine BS poker. Or its random I guess. Anyone else ever have this experience? |

it fills the whole chat box on every table, doesnt move until you do it
then its just like one of those verification things on websites, a picture of a word in the chat box and it says you have to enter it in the input in 90 seconds or sth(no idea if theyll actually do something if you dont) |
