Hi Everyone

I have just heard that steve42 has been chat banned.
This player is a true gentleman I have played him load of times and have chatted to him on a regular basis
I just cannot believe that he has used abusive language.
In my time at sky poker i have been called c.....  f....o    p........  and many thing else.
Not once have i reported a player and players say ffs all the time.
So come on sky explain?
Also i would refer to slowbows blog which i believe is far worse.
I would welcome other players comments

    Without knowing why he has been banned how can anyone say he should be unbanned? Im sure Sky had their reasons for banning and wouldnt have done it if it wasn't warranted...

    Also if you are getting abuse and foul language etc thrown at you then report it - we all have a duty to ensure Sky Poker stays a respectable community where we can all play without abuse or fear.

    Dowser I do agree with you but I have played against this player loads of times and use the chat box all the time.
    Not once has he ever said anything bad.
    Please also read Slowbow post which i believe his comment is more than justified.
    Ask anyone I do not believe in anyone swearing under any circumstances but i get sworn at all the time. I feel it should be one rule for all.

    Exactly what dowzer said above if he is a gent like you say and it could have been a 1 off and he got caught or reported by another player which you could say is unlucky as we have all seen other's get away with it but unless the players report them at the time nothing will happen.I would also add it doesn't bother me if people swear etc i like it they are tilted and there for the taking but not everyone will see it that way i might be in a minority.

    i feel very strongly about this, if players do not like the chat box do not go in,steve as always played good poker and been friendly and when i first joined he was one of the players who gave me a lot of encouragement. if this is how things are going i think you should be looking at a lot of players who say far far far worse than calling someone an idiot i have been called this a few times when i have taken somone out surly that is poker. (PLEASE CHECK FURTHER INTO THIS) REGARDS to you king doug (ANITA) X

    I agree that anyone swearing should be punished BUT it wont happen unless people report it hence why the onus of responsibility is each of us.

    Thanks for the support Mick. I am not sure how long he is banned cos I now can't chat to him.
    I don't know if you remember but a player swore at me big time and moments later Tikay came to the table.
    I think I was trying to get the player to say sorry at the time and I am sure you said to Tikay he was very rude ti Tigger. Do you remember the occassion?  Anyway the outcome was that he said sorry. Done and dusted. I have played against him since and he is now not swearing. My point is that players should try and get apology before reporting a one off lapse.
    In my opinion Slowbow's post is much,much worse than swearing

    This is shockin news, steve is a top bloke and i strongly back the big man. I along with many other players enjoy the banter with steve, which in my opionion makes my game of poker even more enjoyable when he is at my table.
    Bigsteve42 is a legend and will always have my repect as a poker player and as a friend, I look foward to the day when this chat ban is done with, chin up m8, were all backin you
    Ozzie

    Release big steve sky, this is a very disapointing day in my sky poker experience

    Steve is one of the good guys.  He is willing to chat to anyone and has always been a decent guy to me .  I think his chat ban should be  lifted immedietly.  Mind u now i get a word in edgeways.

    Good luck big man

    Hi Sky Poker

    Maybe if you have a spare minute you could reply to DaveyZZ's comments.
    Which was "why if players are reported do only some get banned."
    I can only repeat that I have played 100's of games with Bigsteve 42 and not once has he sworn. In fact the very opposite, he is usually the one that calms players down. He is always helpful and is totally the opposite to the way a chat ban labels him. Also please reply to the post made by Slowbow which is also way out of order.

    Thanks Gregg

    I have never met Bigsteve other than in the chat room. He would be the one player in the sky community that has helped me the most. This is the reason I made the original post. I know you are a very good player too. I have never had the chance to get to know you in the chat box. I have played a lot of deep stacks with some regular players and the other player that has helped me would be Madpatdotc. Strange to think that Steve has been banned he spoke up for me ages ago when a player was getting abusive. I guess that is the reason I am finding it hard to believe. I think the solution should be to name and shame abusive players rather than chat ban them. The sky community would then regulate itself as I do believe that there are more good players than bad and are able to take bad beats and not shame themselves by being bad losers.
    Thanks for the reply.

    Just read a post under the heading of chat ban.

    There is a player who wants to apologies, why oh why can't we help these people to control their anger and realise that they cause upset to other players. This one obviously does and I say lets forgive and forget. Give them another chance and be seen to be helping players control their anger. It will in the long run improve the site.

    So come on poker players how about we help and shame them in to becoming "gentlemen or ladies" instead of isolating them.

    Hi tigger, thanks for you comments on my thread.

    I havent played with steve, but he seems like a really nice guy by looking at the posts in this thread and i hoped he gets un chat banned.

    I would like a second chance to show that im not like i used to be, that i can be a good friendly player to play with.

    Ok guys,

    We are currently investigating bigSeve42's chat ban. if he would like to get in touch on the community that would be great. If anyone is in contact with him maybe they could ask him to visit the forums.

    in the meantime he is very welcome to contact customer care directly himself and one of our reps will be happy to discuss this matter with him.

    thanks guys,

    Hi Sky Rich

    If I am any judge of character I doubt that Steve will contact a sky rep, he must have said something to get the ban and while i believe he would want to say sorry to whoever he was unkind to I think he will just take his punishment like a gentleman. I know I would.
