    this taken from the community guidelines " Comments that can be construed to question Sky Poker's integrity, game fairness, security or random number generation."

    I can think of two other sites that had this same policy, or similar. On one of them some of the top stake players tried insisting something was wrong and they beleived players were cheating and got blown off, and in one case banned. Only for them later to prove through data mining that someone was indeed cheating. Ex-employees had got access to the code and could see all the players hole cards.

    Is this a stanndard thing? No. Is Sky going to cheat players? No, it would be utterly pointless for them and damage their image in too many other areas. Does it mean most players complaining are deluding themselves? Yes. Does it mean they shouldn't have a voice in case they have a point? Hmm, debateable I guess.

    I wouldn't question sky's software or RNG. I can't, as I don't have the data to do so, and as there is no way to use tracking software here it would be hard to prove if their RNG is in an area you'd expect statistically. I have no doubt it isn't going to be dealing any different for anyone else though.

    The op was why is it locked?....the answer was simple...because no company with any sense is going to give a platform to people so they can slander/defame their business......as usual it turned into a is it/isn't it fixed thread.....

    Have you ever played a hand of poker on Sky before? Genuinely never seen you at the tables, ever. Yet you linger in the forum like a rotting carcass.

    just checked sharkscope and it would appear that ive played 2,829 tournies in
    the 5 years or so ive been playing on sky (purely recreational of course).thanks for
    asking tho.
    Just because i have a pretty low opinion of most of the"regs"on here,of which
    you are definatley one and more or less disagree with ever bit of BS yous come
    out with doesn't mean i linger like a rotten carcass,well anymore than you do anyway.
      I remember when this forum was a good laugh and entertaining long before
    the likes of you joined.

    PS Never seen you at the tables either but i'm neither up nor down about it.

    I have had a look on trollscope and you have the silver star next to your name. Best troll for the last 4 years in a row is pretty impressive. Good work.
