So i was playing in a tourney tonight on pokerstars and what did i notice? A guy with a clear picture of bin laden as his avatar. So i called him some names including a scumbag coward, a mod comes into the room and heard what i said. So instead of banning the scumbag he revokes my chat and leaves. Now first of all i thought they have to pre approve pictures, also i will never put a penny into this site ever again and i hope others wont also.

Sorry about that i am really pissed off must of missed it, it was on pokerstars. Why would you think anyone would make this up, this is why people always get away with things because everyone thinks someone is bsin.

Dude it's just an avatar. He probably put that up to get reactions.

It's easier to just not see avatars.

What possible use could it be to have them displayed?

I hate Pokerstars too,

There is an option to make the avatars invisible.

Just do that....

Big Deal, so what if he has a pic of Osama, the Moderators did the right thing in giving you a chat ban, it's only an avatar ffs.
So you say you won't be putting a penny in there, you think thats gonna bother them.

Give me a break.

He did say it was poker stars in his OP.
( I withdraw this comment if he went back and edited it in after)

You are telling me that someone put up an avatar or said something in chat that could possibly tilt a player and take him off his game?!?! CALL THE POLICE ON POKERSTARS MAN!!!! 'Cause that's just WRONG. I've never tried to do something at a table to make a guy play worse then he possibly could....oh wait :S

WOW ... I guess that's one way to get someone on tilt .... not that I dont share your opionions on scumbaggs in this world. Isnt there something in our constitution about free speach and such ?? or did Bush and his buddies do away with that part of the constitution also ???

It's a poker forum...I'm doing best to leave this statement alone (and I've NEVER been a Bush fan...EVER) because Momma always taught me to 'not tap the glass' and leave the weak thinking alone.

a avatar caused you to burst into a tirade, do you berate everyone that offends you?

Just right click and block image...it's easy...if everyone would just ignore the goof ball, then it would back-fire--as he/she obviously is seeking attention or some sort of reaction to the pic.

Too bad we can't do this in real life...just wave a magic "a-hole be-gone" wand and make people disappear ...

Yeah i woudl get pissed to, to see that avatar. I was acually wondering the other day if anyone has done that to get some reactions. I guess so. But his avatar is acually working in his favor it sounds like. Once you get someone mad, they dont play the same.

Poker isn't for the easily offended. People find ways to get under other people's skin.. especially in poker. It was probably part of his mind game. And looks like he won.

Stuff like that, you just have to brush it off or ignore it.

I could count about 50 individuals even more unappropriate but I'll leave it to your imagination.

How bad would you have tilted if he actually had admitted that he approves with OBL's view on the world ?

Would you have shot the screen ?

He achieved what he wanted - but still I admit that using OBL as an avatar is just plain dumb.

Maybe the thread title should be altered. Perhaps "Please don't bother reading this" would be more appropriate. :rolleyes:

Lol no, it is not like it was OBL, it was an avatar, had he sat at the table talking smack about the incident, that would be different.
It is just some tool looking for attention.
