    The thread was bigger than that... it was more about why Skeeter wasnt banned in the face of "overwhelming evidence" of match rates and dissecting that evidence... not just in relation to Skeeter but any user. Apparently admin would rather that is not discussed. A forum moderator should have put the reason for the thread closure as the last post in the thread. Now we can only guess again.. where have I heard that before.

    GM Skeeter achieved a greater match rate than this.
    [b]Skeeter's stats can be considered overwhelming evidence of engine use.

    65/80/90% for top 1/2/3 matches should be considered blatant engine use in many games over time.

    Do you honestly think the likes of David Tebb would report skeeter to Admin for engine use if they weren't fairly certain she had used an engine?[/b]
    Are you claiming Dave did? When exactly?

    I'm not going to quote something from a private group forum.

    That's BS. You can't say this:

    and then hide behind the "private group forum" defense.

    Haven't you got better things to do..?

    No1 much as I admire your bravado, if you were the last person left on Earth you'd spend you final moments arguing with yourself.

    I don't think David Tebb has ever claimed that he has reported Skeeter for engine abuse in chess. All information I am aware of is that s/he was a borderline case.

    I remember a few years ago DT did mention he was amazed at how few draws she had, saying something along the lines of "i don't know how she does it"...i took that to mean he might have had suspiscions about how she did. Don't ask me to find the thread though, it could be 5 years old now...

    The last sentence of the DT post in the skeeter thread, 25th Sept 08, OTB players suggests otherwise, so far as I can tell.

    I know exactly what DT thought on the matter. But he owns his own voice, and can speak if he chooses

    Interestingly, I have exactly the same post in my mind. However, the last sentence didn't state that he reported her/him for engine abuse.

    You're just spilling beans all over the place. Why not have David Tebb and other ex-mods post this stuff if they even want it shared.

    It was posted in private... "I can tell you what was said, but it will remain private."

    Are you loony?

    Both threads are not long, two pages max.

    Thread 9161 March 2004.

    Dave make his quote about Skeeter's lack of draws.

    Now how do we interpretate the rolling eyes?

    Dave hinting at something.
    Dave mocking Skeets because she had recently lost a drawn game?
    Dave spotting the number of drawn games Skeets wins by timeouts.
    For the last reason you have to see....

    Thread 10994 May 2004
    Skeets getting it in the neck for claiming time outs plus an explanation
    of how she does it.

    (no she does find out where they live and murder them...it's far worse than that!)

    At the end Skeets and Slow Pawn are big friends.
    Then you read Slow Pawn's profile.....and see what clan he founded.
    (you could not make it up.)

    er...a double post. Not sure how it happened.

    (I'm blaming Skeeter...she is at fault for everything else including
    world famine, the current financial crisis and the sinking of the Titanic.)

    atticus, Dave's mate knows the score.
    Phlabs knows nothing.

    End of line.
