You obviously have the evidence of abuse so send it to customer services.
The matter has been dealt with.
And some of you guys say to me 'do you think £1 games matter to such a multimillion pound company'.... the answer is yes, very much so......
Correct.
I dealt with it according to the "playbook" which is all I can do, I don't have the authority to do more than I did. The correct procedure if you have a complaint about player chat or behaviour is to contact Customer Care. However, I am quite sure they would have taken exactly the same action as I did.
Generally speaking, player accounts are only closed due to stuff like abusing the T & C's as to multi-accounting, or in areas such as KYC, SoF, RG etc. Chat box infractions mean they are blocked from chat.
@TheWaddy
The stakes a player plays at are not taken into account when consideration is being given to blocking players from chat.
Its a tough one because people get silly in chat which sometimes annoys people and sometimes people just snap in chat. I didn't like been called a window licker in chat for making a correct call, however I wouldnt want the guy banned for that as people naturally snap sometimes and if you do that your going to lose the player base to.
There is a point where it goes to far though and a ban may be justifiable that is not my decision to make.
I dont know enough about the specific player mentioned here to know there history and if this is a one off or a repeated thing.
its a tough balance to strike.
There can't be many worse or more selfish things to say in a chat box than that. One hopes they are just following the herd & have not actually thought through what it really refers to. Anyone who uses that phrase, along with "re tards" "dribblers" or "mouth breathers" need to have a good look at themselves & reflect on the hurt it causes to those afflicted, especially the parents. Downs Syndrome, which may involve some or all those symptoms, is absolutely not a joking matter under any circumstances.
I don't make any Rules here, but if I did I'd snap ban anyone who used such terms over a game of recreational poker.
....tho' I would have met it Head-on and typed back " Slurp ! Slurp ! "
usually Shut's them up
I should add that wishing others would get cancer, & similar variations on that theme is no better. It's the same thing though, sheer ignorance & lack of thought, and an inability to express their frustration a more reasonable way.
It does beg the question though, why would a recreational player play poker in the first place if it grabs them like that? It's a game which we are meant to enjoy.
It's completely outside my understanding why anyone would play small stakes poker & get so exercised by it.
