HIT AND RUN THAT BAD???

    Naming would be a bad idea. Most forum regs know who the likely list of culprits includes and there's little to be gained by telling us again.

    The bigger point would be that those people may never see themselves being spoken of and never tell their side of the story. Besides this, I really don't think it's any of our business and I don't think it's a suitable topic for a public forum. If there was a genuine problem, then there is a proper method for dealing with it discretely and effectively.

    Sometimes people are guilty of being, as Tikay describes it, a bit precious. I'm not suggesting that is the case here but if in future these people are able to post on the forum bad-mouthing someone they've had a disagreement with, that would be a big problem.

    borin

    two people who were railing the game came to my defence (i ignored the abuse) 

    this was cut and dry ok he could have not seen the chat quite easily but all he had to do was scroll back to read it

    i have no intention of naming the player but have seen him do it to others before on a few occasions.


    "The bigger point would be that those people may never see themselves being spoken of and never tell their side of the story. "

    believe me he has plenty to say when it suits him :)

    quite simple if you dont want to be bad mouthed and gain a rep for bad mouthing and abusing players who are not professionals then do not do it

    not rocket science

    I wasn't defending anyone, bugaloo. I'm just saying that naming someone on a public forum over this sort of thing isn't a good idea. There are better ways of doing things.

    and nobody has so there is not a problem

    sky quite often likes to advertise itself as the friendly site e.t.c

    reality is a small percentage like any site really can be quite vile on occasion

    sad thing is from his point of view (boo-hoo) on nlhe heads up he is a massive favourite against me infact lifetime here he has taken me for a right few £ as he is a very good player

    be a really shame if he stopped getting games.......

     You know, i'm fed up with this politically correct world. This guy pursues someone across different games, abusing and embarrassing him in front of others. He used the written . What's the saying....

    LIVE BY THE SWORD, DIE BY THE SWORD.

    By naming him, it will hit him in the pocket where it hurts him most no doubt. He can have the right of reply. So come on m8....let's hear your side eh? No? I wonder why? Could he/would you apologise? Or do you see nothing wrong with your behaviour?
    Certainly report it but i am for naming ....let's be honest. The more they get away with it, the more they will continue to do it.

    I would have no issue with the culprit being named....it sounds as though it is the usual guy, all friendly and pro sky poker on the telly but seems like a total idiot when the cameras aint rolling.

    You have done nothing wrong......do it again i say!!!

    Would love to know who it is but I agree with Borin that there are proper channels for this and if he is as bad as you all say then why dont you all complain when it happens ? or have you complained and nothing been done ?

    Chat abuse button please.

    I've followed this thread with interest since it was 1st started. I've absolutely no opinion on it either way. But what I have found vey fascinating is that other than Mr Zing and Beanah, no other large stakes cash player has contributed to the thread, and neither have the management at Sky Towers.

    Offshoot will be a sad puppy that you missed him out. 

    I'm guessing a mod will come Nd close it eventually. (Cue TommyD) :)

    I'd seen his post but thought it wasn't much of a contribution (thats not meant as negative)

    Actually cue Mod_Kiwini, but not going to close the thread.

    It doesn't matter who the player is, low level player or high roller, any abuse by them should be reported to customer care who take all such reports very seriously.

    Naming and shaming on the forum is a definite no-no as this could lead to an innocent person being vilified on the forum so please don't do it under any circumstances.  Posts that name and shame will be deleted and could lead to forum bans for the posters.

    Yes I would like to know who it is as if he is a regular on TV then Im interested but only as Im nosey, however I dont expect to find out via this forum and nor should I. If you have reproted abuse I hope it has been dealt with correctly but it seems you suspect not ?

    i feel not as player is still doing it (or seemingly) 

    btw i am not suggesting the player should be banned or anything anyway it is a poker site a lot worse happens in real life

    just be nice to get some feedback saying at least the player had been advised to refrain from the abuse 

    i feel i should mention the player IS NOT on the tv channel or at least is not in my case

    Poker's a very emotional game. Although players at such stakes should 'know better'. Losing large amounts of money, especially over a sustained period of time can test the patience of anyone. Especially if they rely on it for a source of income. 

    Do I believe such incidents should occur? No. Do I believe it's inevitable? Yes. In my opinion, people going out of their way to drop hints on who it could be, is just as scummy as the initial abuse. If you feel that strongly, report the incident and move on. This isn't a primary school playground.
