    Contact Customer Services via Online Chat - there's a link at the bottom of the page.
    If you tell them the player's name, the tournament you were in and the times(s) of the abuse, I would be very surprised if they don't take the necessary action.
    There may have been a blip recently when the process didn't run smoothly but it generally works well.

    Ive noticed this as well lately, and you should report it when its really abusive, i find if i type haha looooser then keep repeating hahaha loooser everytime they carry it on, they soon get fed up and leave, i know this aint ideal but it works for me but then again i dont give a sh it what they say to me cos if they doin that, they aint my m8 and i dont wanna be their m8, and they probably saddo's in real life, as they are on the keyboard lol. so eff em lol. ps keep ya chin up, they aint worth it.

    Hi Stacey,

    Unfortunatley there are always a few idiots. It's really not on and you shouldn't have to take it. If you rememebr there name you should name and shame them here on the forum.

    Other then that ditto merenovices's reply above and I hope something gets done about it, hope it doesn't ut you off playing on here

    You should definitely not "name and shame them on the forum"; it is against forum rules.

    A lot of people would agree with naming and shaming, but it IS NOT the thing to do and ends up causing more aggro. As others have advised, you should contact CS and pass the details to them.

    is it multiple people or one person luckily enough i have not had any probs but may be we should start a name and shame thread were we can post these people up so as everyone can watch out for them on the tables.

    Apparently this is against FORUM RULES to name and shame,far better to PROTECT their identity eh?

    personally, i don't care if someone gives me s hit when i win. i have their chips/money so i have the last laugh.
    however it is still completely unacceptable to abuse someone. if it happens to you then report it as quickly as possible, then if you can ignore the a rsehole, or better yet..clean them out!

    These sad people are just cowardly bad losers who hide behind the anonymity of an internet avatar to launch their pathetic insults. I'd like to see them try that sort of behaviour face-to-face in a real poker room.

    This insults issue does seem to be a growing problem, hopefully Sky are reviewing chat histories and giving permanent chat bans to these people. One regular at my tables who was frequently blowing his top has been given just such a ban.

    Personally I just laugh when somebody has a go, it just makes the insulter look like even more of a moron than before and my game is unaffected.

    Its not a case of people being Do-Gooders, Its the forum rules. FWIW I would be in favour of a name and shame gallery, but I dont think it will ever happen. Anyone posting usernames in this instance is just creating more work for the already busy SkyRich.

    Disgraceful behaviour.  Even if the person in question was a ho and a horebag, it should be sent via pm, not for the whole table to see

    I wrote 5 posts about this subject the other day when Irish rover got the worst abuise ive ever seen on here .I named the idiot who was doing this and got the Data Protection Act quoted to me buy Rich ,you would be better of sending Rich a pm about this other wise nothing will ever get done about it                                                         I think a total ban on these idiots is only way to stop this once and for all

    Something similar happened to me about 3 months ago ( can handle any abuse normally & just laugh it off, but this was well over the top and had me close to tears)!!!

    But thanks to CS & Rich it all got sorted very quickly....I still look out for this moron but have never seen him on site since - Luckily !!

    So chin up it will get sorted :)

    Do not "ignore it and move on".
    As you have done, report it and it will get sorted out.
    Remember that you are also doing a service to everyone else who uses the site by reporting abuse.
    It means that they will not have to suffer it from this particular individual in future.
