Like I said, I don't know much about most of the banning decisions WRT to your accounts. But mods don't run around IP checking every new account that shows up - we have better things to do. So the fact that you're getting pegged so often means it's likely you're exhibiting at least some of the same behaviour now and then. And of course you don't help by outting yourself, and being so confrontational with mods. Not that you need to bow down and kiss anyone's feet; you just might want to avoid pulling their tails quite so much if you want to stop getting banned.

Of course not. I can't prove a negative. Proving the positive should be much easier.

Therefore when BoBo says people get irritated when riggies come in here and dont let the shills convince them its not, is irrational because he doesnt think I should get upset for them not agreeing with me.
What Im saying is Neither of us should be held to higher standard then the other because niether of us currently have proof. Therefor the shills should be showing respect because they are in the same boat as the people they are debating. Its a hypocritcal theme to this thread that one side is assumed right without having the proof to back it up.
So why dont we all show respect for eachothers opinions and debate this like adults until the facts come out?
Typically, the burden of proof is on the accuser. Aside from the principle of "innocent until proven guilty", there is the fact that it can be nearly impossible to prove a negative. If my neighbour is killed one evening and I am home by myself at the time, how can I prove I didn't do it? Much like it's impossible for me to prove a site isn't rigged.
Look at the fantastic work spadebidder has done (and I sincerely hope you
have looked). Yet people can come up with all sorts of scenarios he hasn't disproved yet. And even if he disproved all those, someone could come up with something specific to themselves. For example, I could suggest Stars has "thrown the doomswitch" on me. How will anyone disprove this?
Now look at it from the other way. If there's anything you've observed that isn't right, the stats will bear it out. If, for example, you think that you're losing too many all-ins when you're ahead, your hand histories will show it. Do you think you would notice if you had won or lost 5% too many all-ins over a very large sample? I'm pretty sure I wouldn't. Yet my hand histories would show it every time. So if it's something happening so frequently that you can actually observe it, of course it will show up in the stats.
