    The trouble is, once you ban someone for 'life' you dig a hole for yourself. To bring the 'culprit' back shows 'weakness' in some eyes, and before long everyone will not believe the punishments that are handed out will be implemented. but this is wrong, what is needed is a bit of common sense, i reckon the ultimate punishment should not be 'life' but an 'indefinite ban' to give some leeway in sentencing, that way no one can 'lose face' so to speak, and you can 'show clemency' at a later date.

    well, i think theyve already shown there hand. by not banning a few people who have blown up that or theyve only given them a month ban, webby got a ban, then came back, and got another ban, why does he get 2 chances whereas others havent been given another

      note i have already said bring him back in a previous post on here

      guys  note this before reading on .

      the group including myself need to come up with away for him to get
     
      a reprieve without skypoker looking like its backing down from forum  pressure ,

      otherwise skypoker will feel if it gives in on this one ,

     it is setting a precedent for others ,

      so us guys/gals need to come with a idea to suit  both parties ,

      to open up this,
     
     my idea would be,

     maybe through someone who best knows 

      m ic k ,

      a severe apology from m ic k should be  put up on the forum ,

      also in this he should warn others not to behave like he did ,

      along the guideline it not worth it etc .

     this would be a good start and show skypoker he is really 

     sorry for his behaviour and wish to put himself forward as a example

     for others not to make the mistake  that he did  .

     note i am trying to be of help ok guys/gals .


     roborover and idea out !

    i cant and dont want to take sides, but i do believe that webby only incurred a 'minor' infraction, ie being lewd etc, did not mick physically threaten someone? or am i wrong

    I know his banning offence wasn't his greatest moment but at the same time there are other forum notables who have been banned, then allowed to return, only to get banned again (not permanent either).  Mick has had tonnes of chances yet he has improved his demeanour no end.  People he had arguments with have been to SPT events with Mick and there havent been any cross words or bad feelings.  

    Please Sky - give a guy one more chance :)

    Micky was the one shinning star that  got this forum going, always fun, always  helpful answering players questions  on poker ..  Sure  there  were  and are many  players who  make great  contributions here, but if ever there was a player  who was  more fun and helpful it could be found in Micky's thread . This forum is so much the  poorer for  not having him here,  he's a winning player, and I would  for  one  would like  to see  him back...  As pointed out by others he's at all the live events chatting with all the people that run the live shows on TV  !!  So,  I suspect  even they  would like him back but  this is the strangest politically correct forum, with so many players being banned for having opinions  that aren't in-line with the marketing of  SkyPoker .. As I've said before here, this forum was originally supposed to have been set  up  for the players,    it's evident it was not for them   but a marketing tool for  the company ! Yes  this forum   needs more people like MickJenn    and not the propaganda machine !

    +1. Some of the grief he used to get on his fan club thread  was unbelievable, really no need for it. There is only so much any person can take before they eventually bite.
    I really enjoyed reading his thread and anytime I asked for advice/help he went out of his way to answer as he did with lots of people.
    Please give him his chat back just so he can explain why he keeps calling my raises with any 2 :)
    Gl with this Hurst.

    Bring him back, he was a nice happy chappy at the SPT in manc :)

    FWIW I have no idea what he did to be banned or when he was ban or even that he was banned.

    He's a top bloke, i had a great weekend with him in Nottingham last year and we chat on FB regular. If Sky do it for Mick they would have to give everyone who has been banned a reprieve but i have no problem with that also.
    As Phil said it wasnt Mick's greatest moment when he got banned,but i would stake money on it he wouldnt make the same mistake again.

    they should have a regular review whereby they look at players ban's and if they feel they have learnt from what they did and have done nothing wrong since then they should be sent an email saying they have their chats reinstated but have to watch what they say. have it every 3 months or month, this way its fair for everyone. mick talks to all the presenters and analysts at the spt's yet still they havent looked at his ban
