Even though, Skeeter was not banned for engine use in about 8 years.
I would like to give you some ideas, why that is. It does not proove anything, but it is the basis for my believe, that Skeeter has been an honest player.
She is certainly a great chess player, way above my potential (even if you deduct a possible engine use - she still knows more th ...[text shortened]... .
Of course, you may make up your own oppinion, I have no right from telling you wrong...

Originally posted by ZygalskiOh, well if they didn't tell you explicitly by all means tell us ALL the things this game mod told you in confidence! There must be other things you guys didn't pinkey swear on or spit and shake.
Well there are some extenuating circumstances:
In this instance I wasn't explicitly told not to mention this fact to anyone.
I haven't named the mod.
The Mods are disbanded & some have stopped using the site.
The reported suspect has been banned from site - albeit for harassing another member.
I don't see how naming the (former?) game mod would benefit anyone and the very least I owe that person is anonymity.

There were some Game Mods who don't rate that same level of confidence.
SQ made a claim that seems dubious on its face. It's up to him to provide some support for it.

Originally posted by Phlabibitpossibly not. but spilling beans about someone spilling beans to me first... there's only so much guilt you can lay on the other person. - I would've kept my mouth shut in the first place if it was THAT important to me.
Do you think the game mod who shared this info is happy this person is spilling beans? Would you be? I wouldn't.
Originally posted by KeggeThere are no "facts" on these forums.
Jeez, can you actually read?
I doubt, don't believe, that a game mod personally informed you about Skeeter being an engine user. If game mods shared this info with mere members like yourself than I applaud that the game mods are relieved from there duties.
I do not know Skeeter used an engine. I doubt it because I do believe she has been investigated an ...[text shortened]... "facts". There are no "facts" on these forums. Sorry for not taking your word for it sis.
I disagree. The percentages concerning a players match-up with an engine are facts.
