guys, what you have to remember is that we have strict guidelines that are put in place by Sky (keeping with the Sky brand values). Posted by Sky_Rich
Surely if sky were to stick to "sky brand values" then some obscenities which are not allowed in the forum should also apply to its TV Programs and these would also have to be censored?
We are not allowed to say H e l l in the forum but sky are allowed to air much worse swear words in its programs, how can this be the same values?
I think some words could be used to directly insult and abuse people and this is just not acceptable, but come on guys get with it. Thats why tv programs have warnings "this program may contain strong language which some viewers may find offensive" Put a warning on the top of the page, its for over 18s, we all have a choice right?
Ps. "This Post May Contain Strong Language" but all insults have been edited by the mods.
Pps. How come sky members such as Tikay & Mr Orford can submit a post with a word such as "****" in it, but when other forum members reply to their post or submit their own post with this kind of word in it, we have to edit it out before it will submit. Is this the "Sky Brand Values" at work.
In Response to Re: yes i am back, but for how long? : That appears to be an issue on which we differ. I deem it crucial that we think about what we write; you deem it unacceptable. Posted by MereNovice
i totally get what ur saying,but,no one has to read anything that is posted,the same way no one has to take the family out for lunch in a pub on a saturday afternoon.what offends or provokes me may not offend or provoke you.i think it is where you draw the line that matters.

hey guys thats right i am back finally after my 2 weeks sabbatical lol, and seen a few nice posts wishing me good luck and wanting me back then seen a few from others that want me gone!! well they may get their wish very shortly, i love the forum here at sky poker but i'm not gonna change who i am so that i dont get told off by sky_rich. i'm not an hard person to get along with, infact i get along with all walks of life but just seems on here some people struggle to take a joke and read way too much into peoples post than they really need to, i dont intend to offend anyone, most of my posts are made tongue in cheek, maybe some smilies would make it more easier on here? anyhow the point i am trying to make is i wont be treated like a kid or singled out just so i can survive here on sky poker, i will continue to be myself and hopefully have a great time and from time to time have a argument with people but thats not a bad thing, it keeps things fresh and real, people should be allowed to voice their opinions! i have been warned that my next ban will be permanent so future not looking good for me on here but lets be honest the whole forum at some time or another is gonna be banned, rules are too strict for my liking and dont like seeing my friends on here treated like kids, lets try treat each other as we expect to be treated..............ADULTS!!!

welcome back m8y,
nice to have a outspoken poster back,
yep i agree with you on rules been to tight on forum,
i find over the last few weeks they are enforcing the rules more,
in my opinion,
while it keeps it cleaner,
it hampers the fun banter on here,
i noted a few post of late from one of the suits ,
moaning about the mannerism of some posters,
i recall in one,
he told the mods this should not be tolerated,
so i think our great m8y skyrich is under pressure from his paymasters,
Having been away from the forum since pre-christmas it was absolutley no surprise at all when I saw who had posted this thread title. Can't stop bleeting on about himself. Posted by daveydavey

Not having a go just messin' with ya, but all your posts end up formatted like you're writing song lyrics or a poem! ;-) lol
who gives a h ell,all you have to do is put space in the middle of the words anyway.Personally i think a site that is for 18+,should have a forum where you are able to speak your mind.I think if this was the case swear words would be few and far between anyway.I just dont understand why an adult site cant allow words like h ell.

If my sentence didn't make sense then having a pop at it would be fair game, as it is...
