Thought I read this awhile back, is this really happening?

I've never seen this confirmed, but if they do I need to start opening Party when I'm not around and sticking shemale scat bondage horse Kansas City Royals porn on my computer for them to take shots of.
ENJOY. |

The Party T&C used to say Party had the right to take screen shots... that section was changed in a recent update to the T&C, and Party now states that they do not take screen shots. Party does still scan running programs, as part of the security measures against prohibited software.

Re: Does Party Poker really take screen shots of your PC?
Scanning running processes would be a lot more effective than taking screenshots. A screen shot takes a lot of bandwidth to send, it would require a human being to look at the images to find anything, and wouldn't catch software that doesn't have a window open (running as a service, running in the system tray). Sending a list of running processes requires minimal bandwidth, and the list can be scanned by software to find banned programs.

Re: Does Party Poker really take screen shots of your PC?
I once got attacked by the address xxxxxx.partypoker.com (xed out so you cheaters can't block the address). I was on dialup at the time so it was very noticable, all a sudden the Party Poker client opened about 20 connections and started rapidly sending data to that address. The attack lasted over a minute, and disconnected me from all my tables. I would estimate they sent 200-400K of data via my modem. This was a couple of months ago, never had it before or since. I don't run pokertracker or any third party software while playing.
So yeah, they were probably uploading a screenshot. There was no significant disk activity during the episode. |

I really, really hope so, since my photoshopped Wallpaper of Dikshit f***ing a donkey is starting to draw comments from others, and I'd hate to think I created it and have kept it plastered on my widescreen all this time if it turns out no one at Party has ever seen it.
