wheres my post gone??

edited November 2011 in Poker Chat

yesterday morning i wrote a post about how the guy on sky help told me i couldn't have a deposit bonus dew to the fact my sky poker account was in profit, i had included a copy of the online chat we had. It was titled ' asked sky for a bonus ' so guess my surprise when today its been erased.
they sent me a nice PM though explaining how it was not something that should be made open to the forum, so much for being able to write a genuine post but just coz it shows how dopey some of sky pokers employees are and the fact it highlighted sky favouring of serial depositors it gets deleted.
i have two friends who play on sky, they only play 2-3 times a week and only deposit £5-£10 each time however they seem to always get either a £10 bonus to match their deposit or as the one did he deposited £20 and got £25 extra added and when they go bust a new bonus or token is offered to them. This was the reason i asked sky for a deposit bonus as had never been offered one in my bonus page.
so sky, you can delete this one to if you wish.......il just write another one, or would i face a ban then???

    i can understand why sky took it down.

    would you rather be a serial losing player but getting random bonuses or a winning player and getting ones rarely?

    which is better for your bank balance.

    seems like a really really odd thing to moan about.

    i also imagine that you caused the nice CS person a lot of grief lol.  but then again it was his own fault for being so open.

    i understand what your saying and your right i do prefere being in profit with no bonuses, i just didnt relise that was how these poker sites work. but when i think of it, it makes all the sense in the world for them to do that to keep them pumping money in from depositors.

    its not just pokersites.

    every casino now has loyalty cards.  you get points everytime u put money in a machine/grind poker.  you can use these points at the bar/food and other stuff.

    in vegas its even more.  you can even get free hotel rooms off them.

    all online gaming sites offer serious bonuses to serial depositors.  boxes at football matches/racecourses etc.

    if you get a chance watch this...Louis Theroux in Vegas...will open your eyes

    Yo Burnsy.

    I hope you accept my comments in the spirit given, but I'm not in the least surprised your Post was removed.

    If you wrote a private note to Sky Poker, & they splashed it all over this Forum, you'd not be very happy, now would you?

    But they had a private convo with you, & you chose to publish it.

    Are you REALLY surprised they removed it? Would you like YOUR private diaslogues published?

    The contents of the note are not relevant - it is wrong wrong wrong to publish private communications. I have seen a lot of it on here recently. In all cases, expect such Posts to be removed.

    Cake & eat it, do as thy will be done. You expect privacy, etiquette, & decent manners when you write to Sky Poker, & you get it - Sky Poker would never in a million years break those basic rules of etiquette. Same applies to you though, too.  

    Same thing applies to decent manners, too. You suggest Sky Poker employees are "dopey". Thank you, & maybe we are, certainly in my case, guilty as charged. But Sky poker will always be unfailingly polite with you, & all Clients. Again, cuts both ways.

    Take care now bud, & I hope your query gets sorted. But please remember, this is the Forum, for General Poker Chat. It is NOT Customer Care.  

    Have a good weekend bud.

    Burnshurtz,

    You were PMed to explain why it was deleted from the forum. Tikay has also explained what the basic issue is with reposting conversations between Sky Poker and yourself. I'd also advise that reposting over and over on the same issue when it's been explained isn't the best idea. 

    If you have any further queries please feel free to raise them with Customer Care.
