what happens if you save the layout, then go to view->apply active layout ?

Nothing!

I think this problem only occurs when you have more than one table in the exact same position. Stars seems to open all the tables at the one position before it moves on to the next position. This is ok if you always play the full amount of tables, but not ok if you decide to play less tables every once in a while.

from 2p2, noting that many of the major cheat catches are by players rather than security

would be cool if stars had some kind of bounty for players that catch cheats

There are ways you could abuse the system by having a bounty if you knew the value of it. There are often 250k players playing poker at a time, not everyone can be monitored closely by pokerstars staff.

I think the entire poker community is just way too greedy and is always expecting a hand out for doing something that benefits the community as a whole. If you see a group of players whom you highly suspect are colluding, then the right thing to do is send an email to support outlining all the evidence that is relevant to the issue. It's ethical, and it helps maintain integrity with the games. It sets a good example to the rest of the poker community to aid pokerstars in policing the games, and overall should deter colluders if they know that other regs are being vigilant. The moment people start a trend where no one bothers to report these issues because they 'arent getting anything out of it' is when the system begins to collapse.

I imagine the player who posted that last sentence is a busto, lazy, ssnl grinder who just wants money to fall into his lap in the easiest way possible. You never, ever see hsnl players whining about not receiving rewards for catching players cheating, but that in a way is what separates the best from the rest. It's likely he was just trying to be creative in thinking of solutions, but if he thought about what he said he'd realize it makes no sense because it won't happen.

I think that you're being a bit harsh with that comment. Certainly sections of the community are too greedy , but to class the entire community as being too greedy to altruisticly benefit the whole community ignores the work put in by mods/admins of forums, better players responding to beginners hand history questions and individuals who try and help in cases of fraud/scams (like clamper at 2+2) etc.

I'll be passing your feedback regarding how the layouts are saved to the software team this week. It's appreciated and I'll let you know if they have any followup questions or a response to the issues you've run into.

so, if you need someone to work in stars security lol....
busted some more for you

First allow me to apologize for the delay in responding to your report. This particular case was quite involved and more time than usual was required for the review.

We have concluded that the play of 'xxxx' and 'xxxx' violated the integrity of our games. They have been informed that they are no longer welcome to play on our site.

In addition, we have 'rolled back' hands in which they won money unfairly and redistributed the funds to the players who were affected. Overall, you
