In Response to Re: MickJenn1..chat release 8th Nov : You have to ask yourselves ...who's the real sinner here now ..Mick for doing the crime and serving his time !! Or Sky Des and co, for going back on their word.. I may not be an 'angel' ( but then again, you don't know) however the one thing I learned in life is that , " My word is my bond" ............ As far as I'm concerned, Ive said all I'm going to on this matter now , ive already had posts removed from this thread and I'm guessing this will be removed as well .. glk Mick Posted by bennydip2

Hi mick
Thats what m8s are for, here,s hoping against hope they do change there minds take care.
In Response to Re: MickJenn1..chat release 8th Nov : i agree delta...... its harsh when hes been told he was banned for 3 months then on last day told its now life ban !!!!! im not asking for a discussion just a little common sense ....with the threat of anymore hes banned for life.. hes not a bad guy or a trouble maker .... please sky review the situation !!! Posted by themackem
100% agree with u lee ,how can sky tell you your banned for 3 months ,then reverse their decision when the chat ban ends .?????? thats pretty low in my eyes ,i hope sky have a change of heart soon ,gl mick ,hope u get ur voice back soon ..........ten
come on sky--you know he wont do it again--half the floppin site want him back, and the other half dont use the forum, he's learnt the lesson, you can be sure he wont go over the top again---everone that has met him here, at the events, and at the tables, all say he's a true gent really, we all have a bad day! We know he was wrong, and did a bad thing, but he has been punished and he has learnt!---give him a break lads--for the sake of the whole sky community!
I think that maybe its time to let this issue die down for a while, none of us truly know exactly why Mick's ban was increased from three months to a lifetime one. Maybe he did something else wrong or maybe its a genuine mistake by the Sky team, but because of the comments made here in support of Mick they feel they can't back down incase people on the forum start gloating that they beat the them into submission.
I can understand Bernies comment that they can't discuss individual cases on the forum, afterall I certainly wouldnt want my personal business discussed here by a third party, I dont think any of us would.
I dont know if such a thing exists but, if this problem is something that happens a lot, maybe some thought could be given to setting up an independent body, much like ACAS, who can sit down with both partys and try to settle the dispute.
Whatever happens I think we all agree that this is a excellent site and I for one wouldn't want this issue to bring an end to the excellent fun we all have here both on the tables and in the forums.
I hope that I have tried to be the voice of moderation here and thank you for listening

Hi guys, I also got a Facebook message from Mick confirming the above. I've now told the powers-that-be about it, so hopefully it will get resolved very quickly. Posted by RICHORFORD
Rich, I'd like to think you have influence, however, as someone greater than I once said, "power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely". The fools making the decisions think this is an issue they need to win. The rest of us know it's about chatting in a box. Sky has worked hard in making a community, then has decided to shoot itself in the foot by acting like a spoilt kid who has gone in for tea and taken his ball with him. Well, I for one don't need the fat kid's ball - there's plenty more balls out there to play with.

im sorry kiwi but as this is a forum and people have opinions they will post .. and it isnt up to you or i to tell people to let this issue die .. i always thought the best way to let things die was not to post anything ???
It's good to see the support here for a fellow player. Whether the chat ban is lifted or not is one thing, but the other is that Mick is a well liked(loved!?) member of the community. Hope it gets sorted.

That really isn't right stating a 3 month ban them at the last minute changing it to a life ban.We have all done things we regret in life at some point, and i am sure mick wouldn't make the same mistake again let him back give him one more chance it's clear to see he is a popular guy on the table's and forum.

I really don't want or plan to become embroiled in this debate one way or the other, but I was starting to wonder when someone would at last make that point. (enboldened), instead of just suggesting Sky Poker are "fools" (they are not), or have "shot themself in the foot".
It does not take much working out, for goodness sake, & LOTS of players know the facts. (They have not Posted on this Thread). I honestly hope it gets sorted to everyone's satisfaction, but really guys, you need to think through the logical scenario here.
Hi allI agree with tikay, we have got to be civil, calling anyone a fool is not going to help solve the problem, a couple of wider issues have arisen however, that I feel need clarification, and hope one of the Sky team can tell me.
1: Are the forums and chat separate entities? 2: Can punishment in one be transferred to the other? 3: If this can happen, can the punishment be increased? 4: I think we definitely need a way of being able to ask for a review and or appeal.
This is not just for the recent events, but also for the whole of the forum, and all players.
table chat and community privileges will be discussed with the individuals involved. as already stated earlier in this thread we are not at liberty to disclose any private account information. my last point in this matter is that all forum and table chat bans are handed out for good reason and at no point has anyone been singled out or treated unfairly.
thanks for your understanding on this matter and let's all get back to enjoying this great community

This
Sky has worked hard in making a community, then has decided to shoot itself in the foot by acting like a spoilt kid who has gone in for tea and taken his ball with him.
Well, I for one don't need the fat kid's ball - there's plenty more balls out there to play with.
It was after all the ppl at live chat who told him it was a life ban and they are pretty clueless from my experiences with them
