Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
great players, but absolute zero class
why do guys that play well and winning players have to keep repeatedly violating the chat facility, to tilt opponents???
Comments
i used to do it a bit to gain a little edge
Banter is fine if you know the other person well enough and it's light hearted, but I will never use the chat to get under somebodies skin.
trying to tilt players in the chat box is fine imo, up to you if it effects you, ignore em and play your own game, as long as nothing personal is written then anything else is fine, freedom of speech and all that!
i wouldn't do it against a forum reg that i play a lot but against some random unknown then why not? if they make an awful call etc.....tell them, it's not a team game, if what i say makes them tilt then thats good
I personally have no respect for these players, most i don't think they do it purposely to tilt people but just to act with there massive ego that they most likely have. Occasionally i say TY when winning a big pot but only if i know the guy on a respected level.
I would do it live vs random or online it doesn't make a difference anything to get easier money/chips, its not disrespectful its part of the game IMO
As DJ/Tobes pointed out we're not children if you get tilted learn to deal with it
We all know Sky Poker's stance on abuse in the chatbox, they take it very seriously, we DO NOT have to put up with it, please report ANY ABUSE to Custmer Care.
Look everyone,...........once you lose any respect for fellow players and etiquette goes out the window, you really are taking out the fun side of playing and once the fun has gone, I for one will be damned or keen to jump back on a table.
Trying to get an edge on someone by being abusive on here is not the way to go........get an edge by fairer means.
One of the major reasons people join up on here is for the community spirit, lets not destroy it....keep it civil and fun.........rant over......have a gd day.

it has literally popped up on browser 10 times within last 3 mins?? this is ridic if someone didnt want to play why keep doing it. Im in it and still get it + also get on download aswell
Just a bit of fun
1. Play with respect, class and dignity
2. Do anything to try get an edge ( perhaps not having enough faith in one's own game?)
I think billyboots summed it up perfectly
And Yup, we're not children..............so why behave like one????
Good luck all at the tables, if i aint chatty its coz chat is off
i dont think ive done of late but still would if i think it would work
Im laid back and dont take much notice normally but have reported 1 player only because they passed the mark big time to me and fellow players i contacted live help copied and pasted the convo gave times ,tables , hands everything and this player still continues to roam the tables with foul mouth 3 months on so i gave up
in a live game if you think you can tilt someone would you not do it? its not a strong opinion of mine tbf and i used to do it dont think ive done of late but its not personall or fall out with people over it just little things you can do to make the game easier :P
Oh and i nearly forgot.......................................................
TEAM51 FTW XXX
Personally, if someone I've never spoken with or met starts getting foul-mouthed insulting and rude then i certainly dont find that as "banter"
oh well, each to their own i suppose in todays "FU-society"
Some of the best fun times have been when ppl have railed on final tables etc.
This business about having the option to turn the chat box off has been covered in the past and it has been said many times b4, why should players be deprived of enjoying a major part of the package which is playing and having a chat if they feel they wish to.
If players cross the line ...it should be them that should be deprived of their chat box and not the innocent parties.........why should they miss out when they've done nowt wrong.
I get really peeved off when people try and defend or give some lame excuse for abusing other players........trying to get an edge etc. etc............poppycock, pathetic.........abuse is exactly that........rude, intimidating and spiteful and it's not funny when you are the recepient................banter on the other hand is good......and it's fun, whether you are giving it or on the receiving end or when it's in a group.
I'm not making this case for myself (I can dish it out with the best of them).........this is for those who really do get upset and or annoyed to the point where they give up or feel they don't want to play here anymore....and believe me ....it has happened and it ain't nice.
So to those who like to dish it out, I beg of you to stop and think twice b4 you do...........you're not big in fact you're pathetic.
