yep i think its a good idea to have a chat room in the lobby , i believe it to be in most of the established poker sites , i think sky will follow suit eventually, sky being a progressive site , we have great fun and chat on the final table, but when its over and fresh in ones mind , it would be nice to have a chat about it afterwards, like congrats/ you fish / nice bluff / what had you when i folded and so on. so good idea and nice thread well done shewaz Posted by IRISHROVER
thxs irishrover, people say its a poker site and they come to play poker, we all do but... some people like to chat.. we know there are chat box on the table but some players moan when u start chatting in the box... sky bingo hv chat rooms so dnt see why they cnt do the same in here
I'm with Dohhhh on this one, we come on this site to play poker and we have a community forum to keep in touch with others. I am not entirely sure a live chat room would be a good idea, it opens up the possibility of cheating, whilst playing a live game. Just a Quick Note: If the chat room was unavailable whilst you had a table open then it could work. Maybe it might be worth suggesting that to the suits. Posted by POKERTREV
Hi Trev, Understand your feelings on this mate but I don't think A Sky run live chat room would be a worry. Chat rooms are live monitored by moderators. This service would not open up the possibitlity to cheat as that is already there. You can have conference calls on skype, MSN Messanger, The Trusty old phone now that local calls are free. A live chat room makes it no easier to cheat as that is already very easy for those that are interested in that sort of thing
Hi SHEWAZ dont know if you mean this but I have found that the chat box in the corner of the screen is to small and during a game turns round to fast to read I end up having to scroll back to see whats been said, especially if others are railing their comments. Also its mixed with hand information which gets mixed with the comments and blind level increases. Maybe a bigger box or a box just for chat. ? I dont play poker 24 hours a day and have limited budget so its nice to break the day with chat like this and pick up tips on the forum. Plus if your on tilt you need some where to go to chill out. If its not the chat box you are on about then are you suggesting alternative to forum. ? Annie x Posted by logdon
You can make the chat box bigger
when your on the table click Options
then in the drop down window, tick the Enable large chat window then Save my settings

THIS IS ONE THING I HAVE NOTICED , AFTER THE FINAL HAND IS PLAYED ,THERE IS NOT MUCH CHANCE TO SHARE BEFORE THE TABLE IS CLOSED . HAVING A CHAT ROOM WOULD GIVE EVERYONE , PLAYERS AND RAILERS A CHANCE TO SHARE PROPERLY WITHOUT THE RUSH THERE NORMALLY IS .

MMMmmm - Valid Point Acesover8s. Wasn't thinking of all the other methods and messengers out there that could be used along side sky poker, so that being the case, you have changed my mind.
I would like a chat room as long as it can't be abused.
I dont think sky will put a chat room on as all the MODS are busy checking all the chat boxes on the tables to issues bans and checking the forums to see if any of us are having too much fun!!

Well side stepping the sarcasm lol Lots of chat rooms are moderated by some chosen members of it's comunity, but it really wouldn't matter as there is no new form of cheating as so many forms are already available

that should stop you needing to scroll back
