While I usually only play freerolls online I am trying something new and that is to say the right thing at the end of hands even ones I am not in. So before each tourney starts I say GL to all, if a player gets unlucky I say so, if they make a good call I say so, if they make a bet that gets all to fold I say nice bet.

The reason I am doing this is because I am sick of the abuse that gets flung around online and I am hoping the users of CC will join me in trying to make online poker a nicer place to play.

You may think I am being silly but thats ok I am happy to change the world 1 person at a time and if the first person is me then that ok. If you like to join please add a post to this thread.

You and everyone else can say whatever you want.

Just don't expect me to answer. I have chat disabled at all times.

i have my chat disabled right now for an unknown reason. but should have it back within a week or less. good for you showing good sportsmanship.

although ppl here on CC i have never had a problem with at a table, everyone here is very polite and helpful. you cant expect other online ppl to be this way. There are just too many ignorant ppl online.

^^^^THIS

While it's commendable that the OP wants to make a friendly environment, I've actually gone on tilt in the past when a soccer mom said "nh" after EVERY hand. It was annoying.

I've found much like WV, that having the chat off works best for me. If I feel I need to comment or want to play more socially (like in a CC game) then I put it on. But the rest of the time, it's off. I don't really need to see anyone's comments, cause I've seen it all at the tables.

The whole chat thing got boring for me after a while very rare do I respond to people even if they are trash talking me its just not worth it anymore...doesnt really get you any where and do you ever really remember who you were talking to anyways? I think most people dont really chat anymore nowadays I hardley see it being used.

I find during CC games I never really get abuse ,nor to I give it.
I never really abuse people at the table or ahow bad sportsman ship ne way.
But I will let a player know when they piss me off.
Like dry pot betting.
Or I will pick fun of them from time to time when they do foolish stuff.
But nothing to bad,

Are you there to make them better??? Do you think that by making fun of someone they will continue to do stupid things (that presumably make you money) or will they resolve to not make the same mistake or maybe they'll just quit playing?

No matter how you try to explain it or how lighthearted you think it is, making fun of bad players is bad for the game.
