plz plz plz can we stop having these threads.
1)some poker players have potty mouths
2)you know what to do if you experience it.
3)you are NOT going to change human nature by posting!

      sky could we just have a sticky at the top, pointing people in the direction of cc.

    I'm guessing by point number 2. You are meaning, report them to customer care .

    There is a massive argument agaisnt this.

    80 percent +  of these players who get abusive, are bad players,  they moan about beats because they don't understand vairance, they moan about loose calls because they don't understand pot odds, or set mining  etc.. etc..   
    Why would i want to get these players chat banned, which would probably lead to them leaving the site ?

    Personally i think by getting rid of these players, we are just losing the chance of very easy money.

    If you can't take abuse from a random keyboard warrior, who knows nothing about you then i believe this says alot about your character.

    Very good point that, esp if people are banned for having a one-off rant, that would pee me off if it was me.

    For the reasons that 1267 posted, there's always going to be a conflict of interests - Do you want to get rid of abusive players, or do you want to keep them around because they're generally easy money?

    For that reason, no amount of posting "Let's get rid of naughty people" threads will get anyone to start reporting abusive players, mainly because in some cases, it may not actually be in their best interests to do so.

    I never said you did say  "get them banned".  Therefore i never put words in your mouth ...
       I'm just saying by "pointing them in the direction of CC .  Alot of this results in chat bans.

    OY!!! -- This is oynutters MUM, firstly, oynutter is not in his 50's until July---- and secondly, anyone wondering How old, or young I am had better just wander right OFF!!---- Thirdly, I can only be contacted through oynutter himself, and I am available to sort out any young man that needs some chicken soup and a comfortable place to rest his head, and if, after his chicken soup ect, he still feels abused, I will sort out his adversary swiftly and effectively with the same weapons used against uncomfortable heads!

    BEDEMIR:  Quiet, quiet.  Quiet!  There are ways of telling whether
          she is a witch.
      CROWD:  Are there?  What are they?
      BEDEMIR:  Tell me, what do you do with witches?
      VILLAGER #2:  Burn!
      CROWD:  Burn, burn them up!
      BEDEMIR:  And what do you burn apart from witches?
      VILLAGER #1:  More witches!
      VILLAGER #2:  Wood!
      BEDEMIR:  So, why do witches burn?
          [pause]
      VILLAGER #3:  B--... 'cause they're made of wood...?
      BEDEMIR:  Good!
      CROWD:  Oh yeah, yeah...
      BEDEMIR:  So, how do we tell whether she is made of wood?
      VILLAGER #1:  Build a bridge out of her.
      BEDEMIR:  Aah, but can you not also build bridges out of stone?
      VILLAGER #2:  Oh, yeah.
      BEDEMIR:  Does wood sink in water?
      VILLAGER #1:  No, no.
      VILLAGER #2:  It floats!  It floats!
      VILLAGER #1:  Throw her into the pond!
      CROWD:  The pond!
      BEDEMIR:  What also floats in water?
      VILLAGER #1:  Bread!
      VILLAGER #2:  Apples!
      VILLAGER #3:  Very small rocks!
      VILLAGER #1:  Cider!
      VILLAGER #2:  Great gravy!
      VILLAGER #1:  Cherries!
      VILLAGER #2:  Mud!
      VILLAGER #3:  Churches -- churches!
      VILLAGER #2:  Lead -- lead!
      ARTHUR:  A donk.
      CROWD:  Oooh.
      BEDEMIR:  Exactly!  So, logically...,
      VILLAGER #1:  If... she.. weighs the same as a donk, she's made of wood.
      BEDEMIR:  And therefore--?
      VILLAGER #1:  A witch!
      CROWD:  A witch!

    While 1267 makes some valid points from an individual's EV perspective, we'd like to think that people would report it to CC as it's not in keeping with how we want Sky Poker to be as a site overall. We're about community, being friendly and that requires your support in reporting abusive players.

    I wish people would stop nannying me,, I dont feel offended by proxy, and earlier on I am sure I have upset one or two but please, I am over 18, if i were in a casino I would expect the grown ups at the table to swear a little. Maybe its me and I find this whole debate inane, call me what you want, some of it will be true, but please, I am big and ugly enough to take it without a message to customer care, and in reality have a lot more to think about than someone I have never met, probably never will calling me names.
    But if it makes you happy to try to expel people who may offended you or offend you on behalf of someone else by a barbed comment typed from God knows where, crack on. Maybe hes just had a bad day.

    Casinos people do swear infact last time i was at the casino i swore loadly upon exit. Not that i had a go at my opponents play, i got him to do what i wanted, i was just swearing that he hit runners for a 90k pot (6x average we where both in top 4 chip stacks and he had me covered by 100 chips)

    i left the table went for a smoke but my lift was still in the tourny, said to the guy i wasnt swearing at him but at the deck, he understood. Simple as that, as you say we're all adults

    Oopnorth it's not about name calling it's about a respected player on this site being threatened with violence by 2 different people in a way that if you said the same thing in public would lead you to be arrested. There is no place for it on this or any poker site and I'm glad that one of the persons concerned has been banned for life from the site.
