Abuse at the tables however is totally out of order and you should definitely report it to customer care...
Good luck at the tables whatever you decide

I still get mad now when someone sucks out on me but i have learned over the years that calling people names will not get me my money back, so i keep quiet and just try to win it back.
Of course you can report them but the only way really to stop it ever happening again is to turn your chat off. although you shouldn't really need to do this I'm afraid it is the only way.
The thing I have noticed about this site compared to others is the amount of abuse you get when you have the best hand and you've always had the best hand. I stacked someone the other day with a set when they had 2 pair.
I was ahead pre-flop, on the flop and every street. It did not stop my opponent firing every insult under the sun at me, even though he had called my pre-flop raise with the massive 10-5 suited.
I couldn't help but put lol in the chat when he was in full flow of insult after insult.
This doesn''t happen much on other sites but it made me chuckle, so you're not even safe on here from abuse if you have the best hand all the way.
If it really bothers you, report them and turn the chat off, that would be my advice.
..mum26...take my advice play on pokerstars or fulltilt..i dont think you'll regret it...good luck at the tables..
It is one of the elements of the game that companies will always try and marshall but never be able to remove. It is gambling, it is for money and wherever money is involved then tantrums will not be far behind (from the abusers not yourself of course). I'm a mild mannered Chap but would have to admit that VERY VERY RARELY i have let out a tirade when tilted by something i just didn't understand. I always try and keep this in check but we are none of us perfect. I don't think i've ever really offended anyone but there have been times i've cut it close.
Point is that this type of thing will always go on but do not take it to heart, it's not personal even if expressed that way, it's a reaction to money lost / won on the most part.
As for your 9 year old watching you play over your shoulder ??? so what, i taught my 9 year old to play and she's great
Enjoy your game and joins on the felt some time

This is when we need to report it and I/we would like to know how seriously Sky really take this issue on board by way of feedback to all members, especially those at the table when the abuse took place.
Lets keep it fun to play and without all the hostility....plz.....Billy

You can e-mail help@skypoker.com or you can call them on 08000 720 882.
The more information you have the better.

Working along the lines that if x amount of players hit that button on a player it removes that players ability to post chat. That player can play and post but all anyone will see is the ************************ for there post including the spaces.
I do not think that this would be too hard for the programmers and would allow everyone else to view the chat box, with their acceptable chat and comments.
i wonder if they really like me?
Honestly I do find it hard to work out why adults feel the need to worry about getting a bit of abuse in an emotional game. Are you kidding me? This happens on every site, and can happen live as well. When people are losing moeny they won't always do it with good grace.
All you really have to do is ignore them, or not use the chat box etc, or just send an e-mail to sky with the details. Not sure need to come and talk about it on the forums, as all players that play poker have seen abuse or had abuse, or maybe dished out a bit of their own from time to time if they get a little tilted.
As for how Sky feels about abuse... well its quite amusing that if you play via the set top box you can't actually chat, but you can use chat emotes, and two of them that spring to mind are "Idiot" and "LOL you clown!". So I guess they don't mind you throwing a little abuse, and I'd just sad there is no "You giant braying donkey!" one.
I one thought I was perfect untill someone pointed out my arrogance........I took note of that......corrected it.. NOW I AM PERFECT....LOL
