No movement yet for my sites. Hope to see some improvements though.

Looks like this Google update was intended to target backlink networks? All my sape sites got hit and fell in rankings by about ~30 spots.
All speculation until they release any official word...

Not till now
Not receiving a warning doesn't mean a warning doesn't take place... Google crawls your website and can detect blackhat methods regardless of if you've registered for GWT, or Analytics. GWT and Analytics isn't for them. It's for the webmaster to keep a closer eye on their website. To think that you're somehow "safer" by not registering your website with any of Google's tools shows how little you know about SEO, or how Googlebot (or any other search engine crawler) works. lol. It has ways of detecting blackhat methods when it crawls over your site. It reads through your content, and digs through the source code of all of your pages. Google Webmaster Tools doesn't somehow give Googlebot any more power over your website to do anything special to your website. It simply gives you the ability to see when there's something wrong with traffic/backlinks/etc. That being said. I have all my sites still in GWT, and I'm ranking.My main 5 sites are still in ranking, so no issues till now
Sorry if it came off as a personal insult... I copied and pasted that from the last post where someone said not to add sites to GWT. I figure most everyone around here knows about SEO.
The post was just to avoid people like ...
from saying stuff like that. Not submitting your website to Google, not having GWT, or Analytics doesn't somehow stop Google from penalizing your website... That's not how Google works.

So you are saying that even thought they have all this data on your website, when they are evaluating it, they only look at your content (which they can't read - but they can see how people respond to it - bounce rate), and backlinks even if they see no one is actually coming from those backlinks - and people would be coming from live community if someone actually talked about your site - the people who listen/read would come.
Tell me this: when is the last time you were getting referring traffic from your senuke/UD built links?
Take a look at www(X)google(X)com/analytics/terms/gb.html - section 6:
6. Information Rights and Publicity. Google and its wholly owned subsidiaries may retain and use, subject to the terms of its privacy policy (located at www(X)google(X)co(X)uk/privacy.html)
And from the privacy policy:
