I think raven is talking about seat scripting, which is when someone users a 3rd party software to automatically sit at a table. They can be customised or changed so that you can try and do things like always sit to the left of a certain player you would like to have position on or whatever. This gives people an advantage in that they might be able to instantly sit in certain games where there is a recreational player / get a certain position in the game.

It is generally used at higher stakes games (£200NL+), I don't think anyone at like £20NL is using one. I have never used one.

My understanding is that seat scripting (like any 3rd party software) is banned on Sky.

No problem. If you want to read more about seat scripting and the problems of aggressive game selection at the high stakes games Phil Galfond wrote a good blog post about it on his site a few years back.

well of course vegetables are coloured. However people using both a colour and a vegetable in there alias was the point to this post

Reading comprehension eh? a marvellous thing

Back on topic any regs any thoughts on this? One person i spoke to reckons it might be the auto seat option being left on but to me this scenario seemed different and reminded me of the musical chairs scenario on stars. Obviously innocent until proven guilty and all that and i may very well be wrong.
