    Hey there, If you feel you have suffered table abuse at any level please report this to customer care (by clicking here). The team will happily investigate all reported cases and this is, without doubt, the fastest and most efficient way to eradicate abuse from Sky Poker.   I hope this helps,   Rich

      "If you feel you have suffered table abuse at any level please report this to customer care" !!
     
    It's alright Rich  doesn't worry me,   however I think the lady at the table was a bit shocked. She thought the chat box should be closed, her 12 year old daughter was watching her play and reading the chat..  The daughter apparently burst into tears,  the lady then had to console her daughter then blamed me for playing ' K 5 ' connectors.
    I told her to mind her own business as it was between me and him and then her husband came on the computer writing in the chat that he also thought it was my fault upsetting the guy for playing my ' K 5 ' connectors and his wife wouldn't be allowed on the site again ..??  
     I thought that was a bit harsh, and told him the same as you've told me..click here 
    All it said was,
    " who can ya turn to " ??

    Ive had the misfortune of playing this guy and agree his language and banter at the tables is appalling
  • edited November 2009
    I had the same thing from the same guy. Was in a position I was calling his all in with any 2 cards, (which turned out to be K6 and i won) he then starts calling me a Dopey C.. etc etc and then decided to tell everyone on our other table what I did.. (if i folded I had 3 blinds left and would not cash, if I doubled I would be safe...) guy doesn't understand poker and doesn't understand sometimes your cards dont matter

    Blimey Benny, there's so much wrong with that scenario, I hardly know where to start...

    1. What kind of parent lets their daughter watch them gambling? What kind of role model is that? At least when I play, I tell my daughters that I'm spending an evening burgling houses or stealing car hub caps, anything but playing Poker. I find it's a far better lesson to them if I'm furtive and deceitful. What are these people thinking?

    2. The mother then blamed you for the swearing that another player did... because she had issues with your hole cards? This complex triangle of miscommunication just doesn't make any sense. By that example: If I'm driving, and turn my head towards another driver who's shouting and swearing at me, and as a result of this, crash into a building, can I have a go at the freeholder of the property for leaving the obstacle there?

    3. The husband continues the shining example of parenthood, by jumping onto the computer and hurling even more abuse. Nice: so far we've got gambling and violence. I sincerely hope that alcohol was involved to complete this cosy triptych of domestic bliss.

    Worst of all... somewhere out there, is a poor, damaged, 12 year old girl, that may never experience the joys of Poker, simply because she now believes that us players are a moronic, childish, petulant, unreasonable, argumentative bunch of bitter neanderthals.

    Actually, she may have a point. I might pop up to the loft and retrieve my Scalextric set instead... it seems far safer

    Hi Benny et al.

    I am just wondering whether all players on sky, whether they are offended/bothered by abusive chat or not, should have an obligation to report its occurence.  That way, even if they are not offended personally, it might eliminate the possibility of someone else being offended by abusive chat at a later date.

    Seems like a reasonable idea. Any thoughts?
  • edited November 2009
    If many many more chat bans were handed out and Sky was seen to take a no-nonsense stance to it, it would soon stop.

    No warning, no 1st offenders ticking off, a straight 3 month ban followed by life for a second offence.

    Although, I do like to see a little abuse, it gives you an immediate idea as to the quality of the player on your table.

    Any self respecting player with a +roi would never lower themselves. Always saves me a sharkscope use.

    Er, I think that FlutNush realised that it was a joke.
    That is why he penned a comic masterpiece in reply.
    You could learn a lot from him. :-)

    I think you can thank such online CHAVS as Luke Schwartz for a steady increase in such abuse. Of course through the like of Hellmuth and others Poker Insults have always been banded around but people are using them to try and tilt other players and put them off their game.

    The couple who had their daughter watching the screen and blamed you for the other guy swearing???? either the other guy is a friend of theirs and thus all becomes your fault or i fear for their child. If they truly do blame you then they sound idiotic. The child is probably in danger if these people are ever allowed to operate kitchen utensils or drive cars. Care in the community programs should monitor what their clients are doing on a night

    It's quite alright Benny, I wasn't being entirely serious myself. For the avoidance of doubt: I do not steal car hub caps or burgle houses.

    We all good with that? To prove it... here it comes... wait for it...

    ;) lol, etc.

    I think that clears everything up nicely. Now, who wants to start another feisty thread about James Hartigan? Anyone?

    Mr. Hartigan is probably going to get that printed on some t-shirts (once he's corrected your grammar).
    You should copyright it quickly - you could make a mint.
