Acceptable behaviour on the Sky Poker community

edited October 2009 in Poker Chat
Firstly I'd like to thank everyone who has been involved so far in the Sky Poker community. From our point of view we are absolutely delighted with how quickly you have all become involved and also with the quantity and overall quality of the contributions. 

There have been some fascinating discussions on poker strategy to follow as well as a great deal of humourous observations on poker, life and software randomness.... (I'm thinking of asking Rich to add a new topic area called "The Grassy Knoll" so all the conspiracy theorists out there can have a dedicated home-from-home on the site - let me know what you think).

 

It's been our hope to take a very light touch in the management and moderation of the community - we see the community as your area - where self management is the rule. However, we do need to ensure that all our customers; new or regular; novice or expert, feel welcome and can enjoy the experience.


 Unfortunately we've had a small number of posts / threads where derogatory comments about other players have been made - this is not acceptable.


 Any comments or threads containing content that could cause offence to another player will be removed - it's not what this community is about and we won't allow it. Also if we get any repeat offenders then we'll take away their ability to participate in the community. 


 Sorry if this is coming over heavy-handed but I think it's important to establish the rules now to avoid any confusion. Although we've had to get involved on a couple of occasions so far, the overall standard of contributions has been excellent - so thanks once again for your support.


 Please help us by reporting any content you feel is inappropriate.


 Regards


 Peter

Customer Operations Director


P.S. Here are the official community House rules that can be found at the bottom of the community homepage -

We want you to enjoy your Sky Poker community and use it as a place for open, friendly conversation. We also hope that every player sees this as a place to learn about poker, perhaps teach some others too and generally have a great, fun Sky Poker experience. To help make this possible we would ask that everyone follows the following simple rules.

You must not post comments that:

•    Make unfounded or unproved allegations (especially of wrongdoing) against a person, organisation or group.
•    Contain swear words or language which may offend. This may include swear words with asterisks replacing some letters.
•    Break the law, or encourage/support breaking the law.
•    Advertise goods or services including other betting and gaming sites and affiliate websites.
•    Include URLs of third party websites which may contain offensive or illegal material
•    Are racist, sexist, homophobic, abusive or otherwise objectionable.
•    Include personal details (yours or someone else's, such as phone numbers and addresses).
•    Are made to appear as if they have been posted by someone else (impersonation).
•    Are repeated more than once (spam).
•    Deviate wildly from the topic of the thread or blog. 


Any threads, postings or remarks which could cause offence to other players for whatever reasons will not be tolerated within the Sky Poker Community, and all such threads will be removed. 

Please note that each user is solely responsible for the accuracy and authenticity of content that they post. We accept no liability for false, misleading, inaccurate, infringing or other actionable material.

As the community owners we reserve the right to monitor and remove any content that breaks the rules set above. Any user that repeatedly breaks these rules may be permanently excluded from participating within the community.

    Seems fair enough to me. Enjoying the forum, really has added an extra element to the Sky Poker experience.

    Cheers,

    The AUP should be modified to prohibit slagging off of others with the except of Rich :)

    Acceptable behaviour?

    Well, what about acceptable behaviour on the tables?

    I was at a table the other day, and someone was hurling homophobic and racist abuse left right and centre.

    Reported to Sky customer service, but said player is still on the site!

    Don't get me wrong, im not one of those pc muppets, but this was taking it too far. Swearing etc is fine with me, but this was something else.

    i am all for banter at the tables live or on internet, however IMO any one being overly rude and using really bad language (especiall the C word) ought to have a monetry fine and a ban for a period of time, i am not a prude or anything but sometimes it is not nice especially if ladies are present. thats wat i think anyway  Joker69
