I'm not sure how tracking helps other players rate you anyway. Some call you anything from a rock to a fish, some give you the exact stats from cash games, to mtt's to sng's, which to me is no one's business.
Personally, I dislike them very much and am glad PokerStars is setting an example to the online poker world by disallowing this "data mining". I think it's an invasion of privacy and often when a player can read out my stats to me across the table I feel "violated" for lack of a better term.
Who came up with this crazy idea anyway? I don't think it's anyone's business what type of stakes I play for or how much money I have won or lost at any particular site, yet there it is for any subscriber to see.
I also don't see how it helps anyone across from the table from you, as you know you can play sng's or mtt's for weeks and only have a few, if any cashes and sometimes you may cash in 12 in a row, it's poker and any 2 cards can win or lose. Even the big names like Hellmouth and Ivey are sometimes listed as fish or donkeys at certain stats tracking sites and look what they've accomplished.
