I was chat banned once, where i made an error of judgement, but I was not intentionally abusive and I proved this, so I appealed through the correct channels and it got rescinded within a few days. (although those days were **** lol)
Sky Poker are more than happy to consider individual cases, and when people are banned they can appeal and explain. Or just take it on the chin, its up to them.
I don't agree with this amnesty idea. If people want their privileges reinstated they need to appeal to Sky Poker directly, maybe a private apology and explanation for their behaviour, and they would get their privileges back.
I know some people think Sky Poker are the baddies here. They really are not imo. They make mistakes, but so do we. All it takes is a common sense approach by all parties and things can get resolved.
Of course, i find some people who have been banned funny, I was a strong supporter of bringing Mickjenn back because he brought fun and laughter to this community. I posted support for him many times. But I have now learnt that the only reason he isnt back is down to him entirley, so I have no sympathy.
i have noticed that alot of people on both sides are saying that things like racism should result in immediate bans. People on both sides have stated that one mans joke is another mans abuse. Sky have also stated that disguising swearing is not acceptable and can and should result in a ban.
I would like to know what the suits at SKYPOKER would do if there employees were seen doing this.
The reason i make this point is iv seen Orford disguise swearing and tikay make tounge and cheek racial jokes. Someone has recently made a very aggresive complaint to the community about Tikay's racial jokes and this player was berated by Sky staff and the community telling him to get a sence of humour. Yet now when discussing bans racial tounge and cheek jokes are seen as a negative.
So again what would SKYPOKER do about its employees doing some of the things they use as there arguments for banning people.
A lot of good ideas and points so far guys/gals . Its great this thread is still open & the manner in which its discussed is civil . Fingers crossed , some of the very good ideas but forward will be implemented. DEN. Posted by IRISHROVER

I find this comment misleading. The comment was about Essex, I do not think his can be classified as racial. The player in question was criticised because of the manner and tone of his thread, not the comments he was making.
You know, it's amazing what you can get through if you a intelligent, clearly tongue in cheek and not crude. Good writing works wonders. As does good presenting.
Also I think we know the precedent if a Sky Employee makes a racist or sexist comment or if they swear on air, they disappear and then get a job on TalkSport. I quote the cases of Marsh, Mason (R.I.P.), Gray and Keyes

to be honest tommy i have never been offended by anything i have seen on the TV and my two favorite presenters are Orford & TK for the banta. Im just making the point that if SKYPOKER are using racism and swearing as a key argument for banning people then they really should have a strict policy for thier employees. When you say making a joke about essex is not racial you are actually politically correct in saying that, however i can slate every white person just for being white and politically im not being racist as the majority of people in the country are white british, but that does'nt mean its right for me to do so. Im not sure if the essex post is still in the forum but if you go through it there are just as many people berating the post for the player in question not having a sense of humour as there were people asking him to conduct himself in a more appropriate manner (i did notice you were one of the good ones trying to help him). Also the thing about Keyes and Gray is that they are on a much more popular channel aimed at thousands more so therefore the number of complaints multiply's a great deal.
if i copy and paste a caption contest winning joke can you please tell me if it is acceptable for an employee of SKYPOKER to award this as the winner as i was deeply offended by it and i complained 3 times so far and i have never had a response,
The winner of this week's Caption Contest is; ********* for the comment:
Sir Alex Ferguson gets into the festive spirit by giving away free goodies to the immigrants of greater manchester.
Congratulations, you now have free entry into tonight's Take on Tikay tournament at 8:30pm.
Good luck!
now i have been called every racist thing you could think off, i have drew blood and have put someone in hospital through being called an immigrant, so i really dont find this sort of thing funny especially when the photo had no connection to football or immigrants.

We all make mistakes in life.
I probably make a different one every day.

So no to an amnesty, and yes to common sense.
