That person most likely had someone mention poker, gambling etc when they sent the money so it was flagged.

People should make sure the person sending them funds knows to make no mention of that - really shouldn't make any comments at all.

I think it's most probably that, as stated in that thread, some moron probably mentioned it in the Paypal transaction comment tab thingymawotsit. Seeing as our community is a smaller, more closely knit group I don't see it being as large a problem. Thanks for the heads up though, it would be wise if most people unfamiliar with staking were informed of this.

Perhaps it's best if one of the mods indicates this issue in our staking guidelines thread if it isn't noted already?

It's completely safe if you don't write in the comments when you send money. Thanks for the heads up though, because I tend to do that on poker sites when I transfer, but never really thought of it as illegal on a site like PP
