chat ban

edited November 2009 in Poker Chat
i was initially banned for 3 months for foul and abusive language, which i regretted deeply. When it went over this time, i asked sky, why the delay? They decided to give me the chat ban for life, which i find astonishing. Since i`ve been unable to engage in conversation, my game has improved greatly. I`ve turned my graph upside down, and reaping the rewards. Still, it would be nice to have chat back..

    Yes ..this is a joke...i have suffered the same fate...but i dont care as i play on many sites...I never report bad language, why....well why should i deprive myself of a charactor....i find it funny ....and if you respond in a polite ...but sophisticated way ,..it makes them worse! The other point is ...im not paid to be the chat police ...and if i reported this every times i saw it ...i would be back to support more that i would be playing poker!
    We are all over 18 ...and this is a poker site not play school!
    lol

    if he was told the ban was for 3 months and he has done his time, it is unfair to then say it's now life...

    Hi

    I understand that if you write to Sky Poker as to why you feel you should not be banned they will, I believe look at it for you, this is just my opinion.

    None of us know the circumstances of this, as to if, or whether, the Chat Ban duration was changed, or why, or if something else came to light.

    So none of us can say it's fair, or unfair, as we don't know the facts.

    If the Member has a problem with the Site, he has to go via Customer Care.

    As Tikay says, none of us knows the reason for the extensing of the ban, but Sky must be doing something right as I have seen several chat/lobby banned players still using the site.  If they were that upset with Sky they would move to another site.

    Thats because, if sky ban you, your also imprisoned in the sky chat banned sanatorium, of which the only means of  escape is by way of restitution in having to read everyone talking about you in the chat box

    Should'nt this be communicated to the person involved though, this gentleman does not seem to know the reason why his ban is now life and it was the same with Mickjenn, no communication, i am not saying sky don't have their reasons, but should'nt the people involved be informed of this?

    The reason for this ban is irrelevant, double standards i think. In this country if you are sentenced to 1 year in prison, the court doesn't decide after you have served your 1 year , to increase your sentence to life. this wouldn't be allowed in the real world, but for some reason sky seem's to do it alot? I don't know why this guy was banned, but i do think that some people have more influence than other's on this site.

    seems a bit harsh a life ban from the chat after saying 3 months to me, have you been arguing your case?

    In my opinion, no one should discuss here whether a chat ban is relevant or harsh.

    No one knows the true situation regarding this or anybody else's bans.

    I deliberately stayed away from the MJ issue as I did not know the man, nor read any of his posts, as that particular incident happened before I got here and therefore I could not add anything constructive or offer any sort of support.

    If Sky impose any sort of ban, it must be for a reason. By the same token, if that ban is increased, then they must have a reason for this too.

    Personally, if more chat bans were introduced and Sky were seen to be having a tough stance on this, then maybe table badmouths may think again.

    There have been several threads started recently questioning chat bans and people trying to gain support.

    Ultimately, I feel this will start to create dissention within the forum and I have no wish for any of my friends here to end up with forum bans for questioning Sky's integrity or saying something they end up regretting.
