You live in a shack....**** so jealous! Getting electricity in to my wee village in Ireland soon. lol
Yep banther is one thing but there is a line, ...abuse is a whole new thing. You say it costs sites money if your banned, if your not banned it will cost the site even more money because abusive players drive other players off sites...I know several that have stopped because of abuse from a certain individual ....who still uses two ids and despite chat bans is still playing and abusing!
Good bunch Ger usually wouldn't notice it as play with chat off unless I see someone on my table that I know.
Everybody gets some abuse mostly from ltl but he always sticks in my mind as it went on for about 30mins till he was knocked out.The other stuff wont get through the filters so you can imagine the nonsense.
Sad really an old man getting his kicks abusing players by location.
I think u will find players come here to play poker,and players are only chat banned for the most extreme offences of abuse which is right imo,banter is one thing but abusive players need to be bought into line and stopped.I think the phrase theres a time and place for evrything springs to mind,and basically if u read the t and cs of joining a site then maybe u shouldnt be surprised u get banned.

Ah...yep. I agree. Just. I hope it's balanced, and the staff use common sense. When I first came on sky poker quite a few years ago now. There was a player on my table called *quote* "PhuckPhace* So I said to this bloke, " Hey PhuckPhace" were you drunk when you created your screen name?" Only to be banned for 3 months! This is what I mean over over punishment! He was booted out. But again I was more amused by his screen name than offended! I think It's a fine line and difficult to get right. I then refused to deposit here, as I'm not going to pay for the privilege of being "CORKED" as it's now commonly known. This what I mean about costing the site money. So deposited elsewhere. But basically, I can't really disagree with you. Although the *Ts and Cs* at sky are the most strict I've ever come across! As for players who come here to play poker, seems a bit odd as it bears little resemblance to poker!

Quote me please. When? Where? You must of baited me. But don't claim that unless you put down the proof. Spud brain. The very fact you remember beats me. Women have a similar brain. My wife brings up stuff that happened 20 yrs ago!

Nonsense, I've many players leave here because of much more important things. Like I say folk are so fragile these days. I have been called every thing under the sun over the years. NEVER reported anyone. Why would I want to get a fellow character "Corked" Deprive myself of a clown. lol Water of a ducks back!

Do you mean me, it's unclear. Iv'e not played here for 3 years. Just returned to see what's going on, and what tourns are now available! There must be another player with a name similar to mine!
I remember on another site i used to frequent , I had the user name "Ring Peace" .
Customer services rang me up and asked me to change it or I would be banned . I said I would change it as soon as I got home.
The lady went onto say , Can you change it immediately please....
I wasnt even at the table, I was out and about driving. I pulled the van over, logged in on my phone and changed it too ...well, I dare not put it here...but I got away with it....
Hi Frank, I would like to give my view on your OP. We should be polite to each other for many reasons, A - As you say,we are adults and inflammatory comments / bad language is playground mentality and we really should have grown up and left that behind- if only to be a role model for our children.
B - The site has rules and we should play within the rules.
C - You mention the word banter, my view on that is you have banter with people you know, or have had a bit of chat with before on the table or in a thread, as you never know how your words will be received, why go out of your way to deliberately antagonise someone?
And most importantly D - Some people have fragile mentality, and low self esteem, you never know who you are directing your perceived "banter" towards and what effect that will have on them, there have been many reported instances of a really bad ending to this scenario, would you be comfortable with your words "we are all adults" then?
Have a good day, I hope like me you are never to old to learn.

What you mean/talking about i have never played with u in my life.
Thread is lol. Banned from various sites for minor stuff ? I have been on the end of your banter for a man of a certain age I would expect better. You would certainly not got away with what you said at a live table to me. Although I guess you wouldn't do it live like most keyboard warriors. Pat the "potatoe picker living in a shack".

When? What did I say? Don't accuse without proof! You would be surprised what I might do live you silly billy!

Hmmm, a good point! My main aim was to get sites not to be so ridiculous with punishment! The rules at sky seem to be the strictest I've ever come across! I understand that some players go over the top, but look how comedians get paid a fortune to swear! Although this is not directed at anyone in particular....Except that I've seen hecklers really ridiculed and destroyed by a comedians! But do any get chat banned, NO I have already stated that I don't really condone it, but I seem to be one of the few that can deal with it! The only time I get a bit rude is when I'm baited, or abused!
Don't forget though.... Adults are just grown up children!
sigh yet someone else who thinks giving out abuse is 'normal'.
It is not. It is not in real life. It is not on the internet. Just because some trolls think it is ok, that doesn't mean it is.
EVERYONE pays their money and has the right to play poker in an environment where they don't have to suffer any abuse or have swearing thrown in their face.
