ah nodeal i hadnt seen that - i seen what i saw and again i didnt mention names out of fairness. When railing a table between tournaments its not something i expected to see.
I appoligise to NODEAL, The TSP in question (i can figure out who), the other player involved and the gibb since he knows lol.
In Response to Re: Table chat bans,...: There are of course, people who go to different tables on the the rail, with their own agenda. Usually these sad individuals have been knocked out of some tourny or cash game whatever. If people find the need to go on the rail, watch by all means, but keep your mouth SHUT !!!, after all it's really none of your business if you're not involved playing at the table.
I wonder how difficult it would be for ' Skypoker ' to allow the people who like to go on the rail, to watch and not be able to comment?. It's quite possible/probable that, negative/nasty comments will/can cause a loss of concentration, whether it be on the rail, or in the chat box, that is stating the obvious of course, but to some people it's ' obviously ' their intention to do just that, sad really.
OMG I must be coming down with something, i find myself thinking that Mr Dohhhhh is right about observer chat. Good bye for now im off to see a doctor i might be some time LMAO.
It is very easy to cure the problem of inappropriate Rail Chat, simply by banning Observer Chat.
But it's the view of Sky Poker, as far as I am aware, that this is the last thing they would ever wish to do.
Lots of players, for whatever reason, like to congregate on the Rail & watch the play, & chat amongst themselves, & why not? It's what Sky Poker is about - strong Community - & long may it last.
A few players have & do make inappropriate comments, & hopefully this will not end up spoiling it for everyone else who Rail innocently.
It's fine & dandy for us to chat amongst ourselves whilst Railing the Big Boys, but really, we should never diss, goad or tease them when they are playing for serious wonga, it's just wrong.

lol only an option for the active players to block the observers, either all of them, or the ones they are having problems with.
Not block it altogether !!!!
Doesn't make any difference to me I get ignored anyway
What about the other rules though? - It's kinda gone off the point I was trying to make.
for intelligent people there is some egos out there,think they should show some class,but then again in the world of high stakes poker everybody's after an edge.imho

I think that is fair comment tikay, With only one caveat, I think this should apply when railing any table, Not just railing the Big Boys.

I do usually have 2 or 3 people railing me if im running deep in a tournament. These people usually support me and help me from losing consentration in the latter stages of the tournament.
Anyways isnt Sky Poker all about its fantastic community? And therefore this (in most cases) does include the rail.

I think there should be an option for players to select "full summary, no observer chat" meaning they can still chat to players who are playing but they wont see what the observers are saying unless they want to.
I think this is what Dohhhhhh was trying to say...I could be wrong.
I removed it myself mate, it would only cause a spat with the "sky mafia" lol. Though I do believe the smallbankrollers are ignored by the powers that be Posted by steveskin1
thanks for setting me straight, but, you are entitled to your opinion, there is no skypoker mafia,
I in no way think tikay was being specific, he was making the point in general im sure, fair comment,
Most importantly..are they planning on rescinding chat bans, iv been given a ban, and to be honest i'm considering going to another poker site, as its limiting my enjoyment..Surely users who have been a bit naughty should get a 2nd chance?

very fair comment. Ive never had any hassles. Nor did i actually care about the chatbox while i was watching the table - in all honesty i dont care - to some people they do.
I only brought it up because i thought its what you where referring to in page 1.

I totally agree, any player who is abusive in the chat box, whether it is a player or an observer, or if they are one of the "Big" players or a recreational player, should be reported to customer care. Yes I know that some players feel that the customer care staff dont do a good job but I have always found them to be very helpful.

Surely if people chatting in the chat box puts you off just turn it off?

Some times the Big Boys get out of order too.

The Big Boys should be an example to the up an comeing players and conduct themselves appropriatly,
Please dont rail the smaller tables abusing people and then go crying to daddy when it goes wrong,
Also, I noticed a fair comment on this thread removed, It wasnt offensive in any way but did hint at preferential treatment for the big boys,
I didnt particularly agree with the removed comment but we are all enitled to our opinions,
