Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
Why is this site....
banning many people from posting?
Actually, they don't ban them, just make it so their posts cannot be seen?

Rules are made for everyones enjoyment of this forum, without the moderators the forum would be closed completely.
If you want an un-moderated forum, i'm sure there are other sites on the net for your tastes.
DEFINATELY not.
Simply posted in the 'area 51' section.

If anyone is unhappy with a Moderatotrs decision, they need to need to contact Customer Support.
I don't believe they discuss individual cases on the Forum, but I'm sure they will discuss it one-to-one.
Thanks TK.
There is something very underhand about it all.
Why can these people see the posts they have made, yet others cannot?
They have not been abusive ( eg aka Mickjenn style). Simply silenced.
You have to ask what Sky are trying to hide?
I'm not sure how you deem it "underhand". If they are Chat-Bnned, I expect they will have been informed, though I don't know that for sure, as it would be a private matter between the Member & the Moderators.
All Forums need to be Moderated, for the sake of good order. In most cases they are Moderated within a set of Rules which we agree to accept when we Register as a Member.
It's actually pretty tough to get Chat-Banned, as there is usually a totting-up procedure, unless it's a very serious matter.
Best to take it up direct with Customer Support.
They have 100% not been abusive in this forum.
I, for one, am certainly glad that sky pay for moderators on what is, effectively, a free service. Yes ultimately, the addition of a forum may hopefully increase the footfall on the site but at the moment it is something sky pay for and give us for free.
Dont rock the boat. I love this place.
Being "abusive" is not the only way to get Chat-Banned.
Neither you nor I are in a position to know whether the Member in question has Posted in a non-compliant manner - only the Mods, & the Member, would know that.
If they think it's unjust, they should discuss it with Customer Support.
Sky could pull the plug at any time if suggestions of foul play or cersorship continue. I'm sure they have no wish to be involved in scandals in any shape. Lets just be certain about this, if a post is pulled it must be for a very sound reason.
Surely 95% of posts in that section have to be inflammatory/ inciting disruption?
Maybe im wrong, but thats my opinion.
Lets hope 'i am not a machine, i am a free man!!'
Shades of Orwells '1984' anyone?
I am a member of F365, which Sky bought out about a year ago. Since then the forum on there has got a lot stricter than before as a company such as Sky had to keep its image intact.
Sky is way too strict.
Its boderline childish imo.
Maybe it's a double bluff, who knows, this is poker!!! lol
Cant say anymore, the fascists are knocking the door asking for my laptop!
I don't even think it is possible for them to allow people to post but only the poster see it.
I think what your talking about is quite simple.
Someone has posted the usual conspiracy stuff about being bad beat by some miracle cards or what not, in the general section, and a moderator has moved it to it's rightful place in Area 51 or some other section, or just deleted it if it is offensive etc.
Threads like this very one, about it all being spooky and Sky up to no good and how they are targetting someone specifically and colluding with Mulder and Scully and the FBI about how to get at YOU because your that important to them they must spend an inordinate amount of time getting at you, and you alone, and all the other similar Area51 conspiracy theorys. Because they have nothing better to do than dedicate their time to making your life on Sky an absolute minefield of paranoia so you no longer deposit your £5 a week.
Yup makes sense right?
So when you can't find this thread tomorrow, take a look in Area51 and there it shall be, and there it will stay, mostly ignored and not replied to. Which is why you come up with yet another assumption only they can see it. This is not the case. All can see it, but as we have read the same things a billion times before, they get (mostly) ignored.
And if you don't agree with what I have written, like Tikay said, take it up with customer support directly.
Catagorically 100% fact mate.
I BELIEVE YOU. SEE YOU IN AREA 51 WHERE WE CAN HATCH A PLOT TO BRING THEM DOWN IN A REVOLUTION OF INTERWEBZ BROTHERHOOD.
MATE.
You are not the brighest are you?
this has been moved to 'Area 51'.
Why?
Are Sky saying that my statement regarding the 'banned posters' is not true?
I hope not.
Don't tell Sky about our plans though, or they might forum ban me.
Oh, and it is spelt brightest. There is a spellchecker down in the bottom of your chat pane. It looks like an ABC with a tick...then again..I BET SKY TOOK THAT AWAY FROM YOU AS WELL.
HATES THEM WE DO THEY PICK ON US WAY TOO MUCH. I EXPECT TO LOSE EVERY GAME I PLAY IN NOW UNTIL MY BANKROLL DRIES UP.
(shhh don't tell them or they might be able to do it - if you can still read this that is)
How clever of you to pick up on my tying error.
You must feel REALLY clever.
Haha.
