    he wont have a decent graph playing kq like that for long. scope is good but doesnt give a good readout of all players. 

    ive had a winning week on poker which doubled my bankroll but scope had me on bad form due to playing lots of sats and didnt win any.

    lately we are getting alot of players who like to spout abuse on the tables and some are regs.

    pffft facepalm the lot of em ;)

    Do yourself a favour and just minimise the chat box, nothing irritates sore losers like being ignored.

    Yep so just report the offender to live help and they will pass it on to whoever deals with it.

    Works much better than starting a thread and showing the person they have got a reaction from you.

    Good luck in your games

    Guys,

    If you want to hide your Sharkscope stats, it's quick and easy, and you don't have to send any emails or ask anyone, you can do it yourself in seconds.

    Go to Sharkscope, top right hand side, "Options" and it's easy peasy, 2 more clicks = job done.

    I don't know Sky's policy, but many other poker sites explicitly prohibit this type of chat abuse.

    Also it's against SharkScope's terms of use to use the data as ammunition to insult people.

    It's not only despicable, but utterly stupid and short-sighted, to insult people based on their poker results. (What happened to 'getting it quietly'...?) Usually it's just ego, 'entitlement tilt', and bad sportsmanship.

    I'd report the offender for chat abuse. I would like to see more people get formal warnings for this moronic practice.

    The policy at Sky is exactly what you would expect & hope - if players use Sharkscope Stats to berate others, they will lose their Chat Rights.

    I would encourage anyone who suffers or observes this in the chat boxes to report it to CC.

    I agree as to your view of these nimcumpoops. Not sure I would use your terms to describe them, but I think we can agree they are really not at all bright. It's quite unusual to see a good or winning player abuse others, though there are a few exceptions, as always.

    i opted  out of sharkscope and then the players rattle on i must be hiding something.  They will moan what ever you do. Just play your game and ignore the childrens squabbles.
