could someone explain the reason for the bolded above?

AP can call you a cheater for no reason. They can seize all your money without evidence. Probably you have no legal recourse whatsoever under their account agreement even if you are clearly innocent.

But if they tell *me* that you are banned for being a cheater, then you can sue them for libel. That's a common reason many corporations won't discuss employee discipline with outsiders. This probably isn't the only reason AP doesn't discuss other players, but it is a legitimate one.

im not an attorney but i think it would be easy to avoid a libel suit. if absolute (or any site) wrote 'based on our evidence there is suspicious activity from acct'... i dont know how someone could legally call that into question.

i remember an incident at stars where i was playing a SNG and it was down to four handed. i suspected two players were colluding and reported it to stars. stars took about a week but wrote back that there was a history of the two playing together and it appears they soft played each other often. i was told they were not allowed to play together again. i was happy that 1. i was kept informed and 2. there was some repercussion for their action.

okay, so someone made some pots and has them only playing the microlimits?

I can see and understand the reasons for the complaint, but even the most advanced poker bots are still a joke if you know what you are doing (Im talking Vexbot and Sparbot), I wouldnt mind playing bots in my games, from what Ive seen and know its not something Im worried about.

1. not from what ive read. when i started playin online 3 years ago, it seemed there werent any good bots. now im not so sure.

2. if they are harmless now, how long do you think this will continue?

Yep he is exactly right. Even if the bots are not that good now, there is no doubt that in the near future they will be. There has even been talk of colluding bots, which would be a nightmare to play against.
