Was playing on Empire today, and someone was spamming a paid service that has a massive database of SNG play; I'm not going to mention the URL.

IMO this is crossing the line; this site offers a free trial with database inquiries - all we need is for fish to type in their name and learn they have a -20% ROI, let alone figure out big brother is watching their play so sharks can prey on them. I've got no issue with don't ask don't tell datamining - I do it myself; spamming it as a paid service however is going too far.

I've notified IGM, and suggest anyone who sees this bull$hit does so as well in the interest of the bigger picture here.

I reply to all chatbox spam with "virus link!". Might stop one or two from going there.

Did you actually try the site??? It was spammed in the general forum a couple days ago and the data it provides turned out to be fairly worthless. Additionally, many of the 2+2'ers who tried their own names didn't find themselves. I'm not too concerned about it helping the fish too much. But it is very annoying...

This guy already spammed these forums I'm pretty sure. If it's the same guy, he only has 1 weeks worth of SNGs and has 0 games from ZeeJustin and gigabet, so I doubt anyone would be making a +EV decision to download his database.

I haven't seen that one. Last week someone kept spamming about his affiliate program and how they can get a rakeback deal with him. I reported it to Party. They didn't care.
