I was reading a thread that said fulltilt banned my chat!! The player was banned for chatting I like 14 yr old girls. I find it interesting that fulltilt would ban some one from chat for something like that although offensive maybe should not have warranty that type of ban. I remember times the i have be called a ****** and a monkey during an online tournaments on both pokerstars and on ub and the offender only got off with a warrning which i felt that they should have been punished more harshly than that so im saying is what should be a fairer punishment for racial slurs.

yeah i don't think my chat should of been banned for saying i like 14 year old girls racial slurs though probably get warnings, but stars has a thing where people themselves report you and then mods get to decide based on how bad you say things, full tilt is different the mods choose themselves what they want to do...personally im probably not gonna play on full tilt anymore and stick to stars just cause i have no loyalty to tilt, and stars is a much better place to play for me anyways...after i play the blt on sunday im done on ftp :) stupid cartoon character poker lol...i hate ftp haha and the software is overrated

to actually answer OP's question, here are my thoughts for what its worth, and it aint worth much: if no other players at the table are offended enough to submit complaint, nothing should be done, however:
if a player at table submits complaint:

first offense: warning
second offense: 1 week ban
third offense: 1 month ban
fourth offense: Permanent Chat ban

Seriously? Is that like the girl that is "asking" to get raped because she's wearing sexy clothes? I know people still think this way, but it doesn't make it any less disappointing to actually see it with my own eyes.

As to the OP's question, you have to remember that poker sites are international, and what may be highly offensive to one person, may not mean anything at all to someone elsewhere. However, I do still think that any kind of racial slurs are reprehensible. I think T-Dubs hit the nail on the head with his answer.

its the anonymous internet. of course people are going to say the most ignorant, degrading things they can to get you to tilt. if you can't pull your big boy shorts up just turn chat off or play live.

If I ran a poker site, 1st offense you get a one week ban, 2nd offense 1 month ban, 3rd offense six month ban, 4th offense 1 year ban, 5th offense perma-ban...

Not because of any morality, granted I abhor racism. I would ban any and all racial slur users because a site the promotes racism is just bad for business.

You alienate white customers who don't want to be associated with racists.
You alienate non-white customers who don't want to be associated with racists.
You alienate the targeted racial demographic that is offended by the racial slur.

You end up creating a hostile chat environment and ultimately that is just bad for business. Yes, 16 yr olds find it funny, however, adults still make up the larger % of online players as there are more 25 - 90 yr olds than there are 16 - 24 year olds

and your user name is black money?(blkmoney) kinda askin for slurs imo. thats like when i play on stars with my username "whiteywhiteycrackerboy". i get some flack there but i just figure its people trying to tilt me

This is flat out idiotic. How does a name that identifies your race or background "ask" for slurs. blkmoney is NOT the same as whiteywhiteycrackerboy... How does that equate in your tiny mind.

blkmoney would be the same as whitemoney or k-money if korean... Its just a name. Nothing more, nothing less. I see plenty of names like whitetiger or whiteshark and I don't think to myself, "Gee this guy is just asking for racism..." Hell Phil Helmuth runs around saying "White Magic" does that mean he is asking for racial slurs???

Always amazed at how easily racists can justify racism... yeah, your name has "blk" in it therefore you are just asking for racist slurs... Your mind must be a scary place if that seems reasonable to you...

just because you and me are not offended and "have our big boy shorts up" doesnt mean that there arent those that are offended by racial or pedophile-type comments. while i would never take the time to do it, if they are realy that offended they should submit complaint to support

I think it's a real shame how people say things that are offensive, but as to what can be done, well I'm afraid not much. Just have to ignore those types of people.

If it really bothers you report it , if it happens to the offender enough the mods will take note.
The mute button is there for a reason ,use it.
It is no secret that there are offensive people out there be they racist ,sexist ,misogynistic or whatever flavor you can think of .If you are the target of their hate and you let it tilt you or ruin your day --they win that little battle , don't let them.
I really could not care less about what some closed minded fool thinks about me .

Well... if his name is monkey I don't think it should be offensive to him for some one to call him a monkey

So on here his name is Blk Monkey I should be able to say "what's up
blk monkey" =p

And as far as girls wearing sexy clothes MMMMMMM I love girls in sexy clothes =)


and no people shouldn't think that she is asking to get raped even though some do, however she better not get upset when I stare like this ---> 0.0 while drooling I think she is asking for that.

Sounds like you might be racist lol, amirite? Other's hate it when people don't use correct punctuation or misspell words even when a red squiggly line forms below as a hint that it needs to be checked...

In all seriousness I think people who use racial slurs should just have their chat banned for an appropriate amount of time, and then if one is a repeat offender, they should be chat banned indefinitely... I don't think anyone's account should be banned, nor money taken from the account as a fine. Why should a site, or anyone for that matter, benefit monetarily for someone else using bad words?

@ The guy who said he likes 14 year olds... This one is kinda lol to me... I mean I loooove 14 yr olds... My niece and nephew are both 14 (twins) and I love them dearly. Seems absurd this guy got banned for stating he likes (x) year olds.

They should send someone to your house and beat your face in for saying you like fourteen year old girls. Which is way worse than a racial slur, just go to prison and see what is worse. Pedophile or racists, and see what the boys think. Racism is everywhere but pedophiles are way worse and that comment should get you banned for a long ass time. But I also believe there should be consequences for using racist slurs in the chat box. But that comment with I like fourteen year old girls is far more disturbing.
