Leaving
I have been on the site alot of years and recently had success. With success i have had alot of abuse, noticably of a player called XXXXXX he's not the only 1. I am going to look else were to play, i will play what's left in my account for next couple of weeks. I would like to thank all those who i've had the enjoyment of playing. I am pensioner and really don't need to spend my time playing a game i adore whilst being bullied.
Thankyou x

both lol
I presume you have played this guy in a lot of HU Turbos - so my advice would be either avoid him when you are looking for tables or if you think you have an edge against him then turn your chat off and just play good poker.
If you suffer threatening abuse then just report it to customer care.
Because, ya know, we could be adults about the situation, suck it up, and take action when appropriate to stop these players giving us abuse at the tables...
Or we could let a few choice words get to us, throw our toys out the pram and leave the site. Thinking it'll be different elsewhere (when it won't), despite having multiple options to combat chat-donks.
Reporting them to CC
Putting your tables in mini-view
Ignoring the chat-box
Setting the chat-box to 'Silent'
Threads like this are just silly. You have many solutions available, but we're acting on emotion, instead of reason.
On a personal note I wish you all the best with what you choose to do.
The people who can limit someone's chat in the chatbox in general do not monitor this forum, so you'd be making this claims in a place where no action can realistically come of it.
Naming and shaming here is quite frankly lazy, people want a shot at the person who has offended them but do not want to go through the actual process of reporting the user, actually helping the community and the site by spending some time talking to customer care about it. No it's much easier to pop something here, have a rant and expect someone else to do the work for them.
You say you've seen the same regs abuse people. Have you copied this chat and emailed customer care about it? Have you reported these players? Because this is what we need to happen. We cannot expect the chatboxes to be randomly monitored or for someone else to do it. If you think a Reg is being offensive at the table then report it, I urge everyone to do so.
On the final point, your opinion here means as much as a full time player, as a Mod as anyone Sir. I think your post raised valid points to be answered and I hope you post more.
While naming and shaming someone might feel great initially in a "Ooooh he's getting what he deserves" kinda way, but who is anyone to decide that? If you really must know 'Who dunnit', PM the OP. But so long as the cuplrit is dealt with appropriately by CC, I don't see the need for everyone to be grabbing their torches and pitchforks just because some mouthy tw@t said a few choice words in the chatbox.
Just like with anything...
Deal with it
Learn from it
And move the fcuk on.
I'mmmmaaaaaaa just sayin'.
I dont want action taken, i can deal with these muppetts quite easily myself!
You see, I dont want folk chat banned, however nasty they are, If i get folk chat banned I deprive myself of an idiot that makes me feel superior! lol
We all need to blow off steam sometimes, and ive had a player say sorry a couple of days later!
Im a great beleiver in fredom of speech! I got banned for 1 month from "Betfair"...And that was for calling a bloke "A mindless moron" And he wasnt even a "Betfair player" I tried to explain this to costomr support, they would not have it, and sid my chat bann was to continue!
OK, I never deposited on "Betfair" But then cashed out $38.00 The staff dint care though BUT they dont own "Betfair" Stupid childish and pathetic staff! By the awy ..."Betfair is a terrible site anyway"!
I shout and scream, my self, not at the players, mostly at "SKYs UNPLAYERBLE SOFTWHARE"...
Like you i think when my roll runs out, ill run out! Absolute junk the suckouts on this site! Some 10s of thousands to one!
What are the odds on this! AAAA my hand....im all in...only 1 card can beat me, the 10spades to form a royal!
What was the river card "THE 10 of F* SPADES!
MILLIONS TO ONE SHOT
Hang in there.
Honey,
I don't think I have ever played against you but I hope you stay around.
I have, in the past, thrown some abuse out there and I'm not proud of it at all, I have now mended my ways.
From my own perspective I became extremely frustrated at terrible play being rewarded...now I understand it as part of the game that we all have suffered from at some point so now I try to keep my gob shut (or fingers off the keyboard).
I think Mr Burns is right about the regular abusers being non-profiteers and JPW is right...other so-called bigger sites are much worse...imho Sky is the friendliest site around.
So for those who I may have had a go at in the past....I'm very sorry, plaese accept my apology. And hopefully honey will stick around.
On the whole this is a friendly site so stick with it.
I can probably guess which player you're talking about. If I'm correct he's like that with just about everybody, it's not like he's singling you out or something, he does it all the time. Personally it's all water off a ducks back, the biggest effect chatbox insults will ever have on me is to make me laugh at how pathetic the person throwing around the insults is.
Just so you know in my experience levels of abuse are generally much worse on other sites than here on Sky, so good luck with that.
