Good on you Tig,
Steve is a true gent always a pleasure to play him and always enjoy banter. Cant believe people voting know obviously dont know him otherwise 100% yes.
Release him now sky, need to see him lose all in on pocket jacks.
Now I don't know what's happened in this instance. But I will say that if someone has made racist or homophobic comments, they should be banned. But as in Steve's case that clearly hasn't happened, his long membership should be taken into consideration.
I hear on the grapevine that the forum is not the place to discuss chat bans
At first I thought I agreed and could understand the point that was made.
Firstly iI did not know there was a yellow card system at sky.
Since I have thought it through further and now decided the following:-
If the community forum is not the place for such discussions where is? When surely how we treat each other has to be at the heart of any community,

In my view, it's about "dispute resolution" - in other words, solving a problem.
In my experience, if I want to solve a problem, I don't shout about it in the strreet, I discuss it quietly in the back garden, where the points can be made fairly & properly. That way, I'm hugely confident I can solve it. When the whole street joins in the debate - most of whom don't know the facts, the problem becomes extremely tricky to handle.
Anyway, Sky Poker are listening. One Chat Ban has been rescinded, another is being investigated. That's a result, I'd say. But if I were involved, for either party, I'd have gone about itit quietly, below the Radar, & I think that night have solved it quicker. We'll never know now!
The Yellow Card System? When something goes off, the member gets a warning, a "Yellow Card".. If they repeat offend then they get a chat ban. It's actually quite tough to get a proper Chat Ban, because in all but the most serious casews, they get a warning first. It can NEVER be in Sky Poker's interests to Chat Ban players unfairly, so they do all they can to avoid it.
I do think it's rather wonderful the way you have presented the case, persistently, & consistently, right across the Forum, & it's pretty cool that the Community is working together now to solve problems.
Together, we are building a nice place here.
Hope you have a quite splendid weekend.
Just now been playing against a previous abusive bad loser. Who again I did not report but tried unsucessfully to get to apologise.
So I will put my money where my mouth is.
I also will not play for the month of August.
I feel that if you are making that gesture then as the instigator I must do the same.
I will find myself a quite spot and read hundreds of books on poker.
I'LL BE BACK

I have tagged dozens of players and many have now apologised to me, many still have not.
I think Tikay is the coolest gentleman on the site.
I will use my time in August wisely and read and come back refreshed.

This is all very sad, & is why I advocate lobbying quietly, under the radar.
Trying to bully anyone into doing anything is not going to work. They've already said they are investigating it - why not let them finish that investigation before making further decisions? They only said it yesterday!
Do any of you know why the guy was chat-banned, as a matter of interest? Don't ask me, because I don't know, but I'm assuming it was done for a reason.
