we have all experienced this,is it right to fight back?and is anything in place to penalise muppets who sit down at a table to talk sh*t and hardly play at all?

    just report it. I usually try defuse the situation as 90% of the time it washes over my back so as a result i never worry about what people say.

    Ignore most of it and even join in in a friendly banter way, usually ends up they calm down and you end up having a laugh.
    I hate reporting people but have done it once in the past with a player that was vile, twisted and seemed to like my mother

    (it wasn't mickjenn btw)

    we all love banter yes but some peole are way beyond that.i dont get annoyed if the abuser is not within choking distance,but have seen others getting railed badly,and it does seem to affect thier play.

    If you move your cursor over a player's avatar at the table it will say if he is chat banned.

    Not always as it's just reported whatever is in the 'Address' portion of your account, so if you've entered "London" it'll say that, but if you've changed it to "Chat Banned" it'll say that. During TKO I changed mine to "Team Orford" and "Team Lisa-Marie" - you can basically enter anything but make sure you change it back to your proper address before making a deposit or withdrawal!

    Well some people are a little quick off the mark when a bad beat happens, and YES I have reported someone in the past, and if they continue to be abusive this is the recommended path, however, I have had this happen a few times since and a lot of the time if you take it quite light heartedly, I have ended up having a great conversation with the original poster of the abuse.

    I am not condoning it, however, sometimes it's just a heat of the moment thing and nothing more, but continuous abuse must be reported.

    I have reported before and in some circumstances, it is the ONLY course of action to take. A laugh and a bit of banter is fine, even been called a C*@% before and its water off a ducks back tbh. However when someone suggested I was making love to my kids then it was a no brainer.....Report...Chat-Ban.

    At the end of the day, anyone can be a bare-knuckle keyboard hard-man....just try and imagine which people can talk the talk AND walk the walk. You would probably laugh.
