After some discussion in the mod forum it was decided that the following should be posted and brought to everyones attention:

__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________

Twoplustwo allows many employees of various poker related businesses to participate in these discussion forums - they provide a useful perspective that benefits many players.

However, recently, in the thread discussing the prevalance of Bots on iPoker & Bet365 a preliminary review indicates that an iPoker staff member participated without honestly identifying themselves to other players participating in that discussion.

That person posted under the name The_Mole and made the following three posts prior to being banned:

There's no advantage to running a house poker bot; no-one is going to risk their license for a few € in rake.

Timing seems to coincide nicely with a senior member of the iPoker network checking out my LinkedIn the other week

Been a while since I made a 2+2 account, do you need to verify the email address that you put on your account (either when you change your email on your account or register your account for the first time)?

Would have been waaay more entertaining to let them continue posting. But I guess that was the “after some discussion” among mods part and includes factors i don’t understand

Someone suggested that but I had already banned him. Shills really annoy me going back all the way to the Scott Tom days.

Either a disgruntled employee or astounding arrogance.
