Acceptable behaviour on the Sky Poker community
It's been our hope to take a very light touch in the management and moderation of the community - we see the community as your area - where self management is the rule. However, we do need to ensure that all our customers; new or regular; novice or expert, feel welcome and can enjoy the experience.
Unfortunately we've had a small number of posts / threads where derogatory comments about other players have been made - this is not acceptable.
Any comments or threads containing content that could cause offence to another player will be removed - it's not what this community is about and we won't allow it. Also if we get any repeat offenders then we'll take away their ability to participate in the community.
Sorry if this is coming over heavy-handed but I think it's important to establish the rules now to avoid any confusion. Although we've had to get involved on a couple of occasions so far, the overall standard of contributions has been excellent - so thanks once again for your support.
Please help us by reporting any content you feel is inappropriate.
Regards
Peter
Customer Operations Director
P.S. Here are the official community House rules that can be found at the bottom of the community homepage -
We want you to enjoy your Sky Poker community and use it as a place for open, friendly conversation. We also hope that every player sees this as a place to learn about poker, perhaps teach some others too and generally have a great, fun Sky Poker experience. To help make this possible we would ask that everyone follows the following simple rules.
You must not post comments that:
• Make unfounded or unproved allegations (especially of wrongdoing) against a person, organisation or group.
• Contain swear words or language which may offend. This may include swear words with asterisks replacing some letters.
• Break the law, or encourage/support breaking the law.
• Advertise goods or services including other betting and gaming sites and affiliate websites.
• Include URLs of third party websites which may contain offensive or illegal material
• Are racist, sexist, homophobic, abusive or otherwise objectionable.
• Include personal details (yours or someone else's, such as phone numbers and addresses).
• Are made to appear as if they have been posted by someone else (impersonation).
• Are repeated more than once (spam).
• Deviate wildly from the topic of the thread or blog.
Any threads, postings or remarks which could cause offence to other players for whatever reasons will not be tolerated within the Sky Poker Community, and all such threads will be removed.
Please note that each user is solely responsible for the accuracy and authenticity of content that they post. We accept no liability for false, misleading, inaccurate, infringing or other actionable material.
As the community owners we reserve the right to monitor and remove any content that breaks the rules set above. Any user that repeatedly breaks these rules may be permanently excluded from participating within the community.

Well, what about acceptable behaviour on the tables?
I was at a table the other day, and someone was hurling homophobic and racist abuse left right and centre.
Reported to Sky customer service, but said player is still on the site!
Don't get me wrong, im not one of those pc muppets, but this was taking it too far. Swearing etc is fine with me, but this was something else.
Whats the point in having a forum if people cant say what they really want
the rest is up to him upstairs (God) not stressball managers and
post bullied over-dramatising moderators...
is anyone elses roulette board fixed? mine cant not be so far!
its like someone is trying to get me back....is that paranoia
to expell? nah, it defies maths non stop
skyvegas is tight/bent, in favour say "Aii"
That do you, Mr Bull Sir?
i had my chat banned 1 2 3 times,and was told if banned again it would be for life, fair enough so i was on my best behaviour, then i called some one a ?? wait for it,,,,,,,,, idiot ,,,,,,ohhhhh dear. tk said dont do that jp,i said why tk whats wrong with the word idiot? i got my chat banned for life for that, no 1 will chat to me about the matter because they no they where harsh,
If you see, or experience, abuse in the Chat-Box, REPORT IT. Every single time. Not on the Forum - but direct to Customer Support.
Sky Poker can do their bit, but it's OUR site, so we all have a responsibility to take care of it.
If players want to retain their Chat priviliges, they need to stay within the Rules. Abuse is outwith the Rules.
It's something I've never understood, to be honest. It's a game. Games are for enjoying. How come a game ends up in abuse?
I have to add, I speak for myself, & I am not a spokesman for Sky Poker.
But the facts above are facts - if you see it, report it.
Try to ignore it, rise above it, but above all, just Report it - please.
My advice to RazorKev would be the same - report it, please. It's a responibility we Players should share with the Site.
Way to go guys.
