First ever chat ban

After three years of playing at PS I finalally got a chat ban. It will last for 24 hours. I got it for calling someone a dopey w hore

LOL

Someone once told me they were going to find my kids and rape them so I guess 24 hours for the word whore is fair.

Haa ha , the most i ever get is 2 minutes, but the amount of times i get them prob adds up to about an hour a day lol

You bad boy!

It's harder than I thought be without my chat and ability to type LOL at the fish

Had to take abuse from two people at my last game calling me a donk and all kinds of other names for calling their 4BB all in with my A3JJ(DS) yes i am such a donk....lol

too funny,i know ive been called worse by other peeps and nothing happened to them.i guess i was gluttin for punishment,lmao.

haha duno if i have had me chat banned on ps but on ft i have had a 2day ban

Try the word "dumbass". Surprisingly not censored on Stars or FTP.

If it's good enough for Red Foreman, it's good enough for me.

I don't get why they ban people for minor stuff like that. I can understand if you're constantly harassing the same person or something.

I have never been chat banned yet at either room but i hate the way they censor your chat, like we need babysitting to play cards

Have to agree. If you are playing poker you should be able to handle being called a whore. I certainly would have laughed if they called me that,.

Try the babysitting they do at live tables...

Verbal outbursts USUALLY receive one warning (if the PB is in a good mood) and a boot out the door if he's not.

chat ban vs. play ban ..... HMmmmm... Maybe it's why I prefer live tables. 40+ years and never ejected. (no chat bans either ... )

I suspect you have a leak there, if you will pardon my saying so. Why would you wish to make any comment to a bad player at your table ? Let him continue to think he is great. Don`t tap on the tank.

Personally, other than during CC games, I rarely make any remark of any kind in the chat box. I will reply briefly and politely to any direct question put to me, making sure I give away no information. Apart from that, I`m happy if the other players think I am half-asleep watching TV.

I do, however, observe other players` remarks closely. It`s surprising how many are unwise enough to give away big fat clues to their state of mind and/or level of expertise.

Absolutely not. Whether or not you find the word "whore" offensive is neither here nor there, you know that it is an offensive word and you wrote it to cause offence. After all when was the last time you called someone a "big fluffy bunny"? So you are selecting words that cause offence.

Roberts rules are the industry standard of poker and Roberts rules state that "Using profanity or obscene language" is not permitted. Therefore a poker player should not expect to hear foul language.

So by using foul language in order to get under someone's skin, you are being a complete "dumbass" because they have a right to complain and if they do complain, management has to side with them.

From Roberts Rules

Collusion with another player or any other form of cheating.
Verbally or physically threatening any patron or employee.
Using profanity or obscene language.

Dont use childish language then.

I got removed from a PS tournament/table for 5minutes and got an email warning after someone said something similar about my wife and kids. I was so disgusted and angry at this person I fired so many insults and so angry, the mod didn't even look back at what this person said to me and I got a ban. So so frustrating, I try to ignore all chat now.

big fluffy bunny? Nice!!! I'm going to try that one out. I've had some days where I'd call them 'SKippy' quite a bit (got that one out of bluff magazine). Purposefully playing some redonkulous hands on micro tables, hit some freak'n monsters (ie. the 3bet w 72s.. flop a boat kinda stuff).. take down a monster pot & say stuff like "Well played there Skippy!" "Nice one Skippy" Seems to work to get them to re-load a few times & get trapped by a monster, lol.

Also just logged onto Fulltilt to try out 'dumbass'. Yup! It works!

I'm going to go try out 'big fluffy bunny' right now on 888Poker (< that's the site I'll usually play on when I feel like havin' some fun.. too bad you US players can't play on there... TONS of big fluffy bunnies on there!)

Honestly I have never heard a child use the word whore

To be honest though it helps me vent and then I move on.

Why do you need to vent?

Seriously why? I just dont ever get worked up by things like this so I have almost no frame of reference.

Yep. Well said.

I wish I was strong enough to stay away from the chat box after beats. But sometimes I just can't. I'm weak.

Do you ever play any of the same opponents again (either the ones you are talking to or the others at the table)? If the answer is yes, you are tapping the glass.

Do yourself a favor and disable chat for a while. Yeah you might miss out on some small piece of info every once in a while but you won't be making the much bigger mistake (imo) of giving away anything. You just might find you enjoy the peace.

I am weak too. Getting stronger but is a slow process at times. There's just something about having a guy snapcall a 4bet shove 40+bb deep in an MTT with A2o & getting KO'd... after playing it for a few hrs that makes me weak.

Wow, I was in a tourney on PS (I think) where an individual was discussing how all the females at the table should be circumcised - in explicit detail - the word for the female anatomy is apparently not censored there ... I couldn't even find a place to report him!
