Hello, this topic is to see if racism has spread in the world of online poker, because there are situations in the game where it seems that it exists, or it is only the system that gives you the best game for those who have deposited large sums of money. money for the game, what is your comment on this topic.

I think you mean something different than racism, nonetheless I haven't seen instances of either.

racism

I think there are for sure some narrow minded self centered ignorant people playing online which often make racial comments. For example sat at a table in a CC freeroll who was completely out of line with their comments and saying things that when they read that a certain member of a particular race had died he laughed. Was sickening to sit there and see their comments using the slang names for this race & other races.

What the hell is wrong with people these days and how can they be so narrow minded?

If you see this kind of behaviour occurring during any of our freerolls or events, take a screenshot and forward your findings to a moderator or guide. CardsChat has a zero tolerance approach to this behaviour.

(taken from our Rules and FAQ)

We expect members to be respectful of one another. Rude, abusive, insulting behavior or language will not be tolerated on the forum. Personal attacks on other members, inflammatory posts and hate speech will not be tolerated. This rule extends to CardsChat private games and events.

online poker is true that players cannot see faces and only write what they feel at the moment of the game when everything goes very wrong, this thread was written to try to create more consciences in poker players, also put this topic from my own personal experience insults, insults and more insults that have hurt me personally But if this thread is not in the right place, that is what the cardchat authorities decide.

Personally, I think this thread is fine because this sub-forum is online poker. The subject of the post relates to the forum whether people like it or not.

I appreciate the fact the matter was raised, I appreciate those who have related ther history with being abused and seeing others abused.

The odd thing (well revealing thing) is quite a few have dropped by to dismiss the idea, which actually speaks volumes. It is as though some do not even want the matter recognized let alone discussed.

I must thank you for your comments, which are very accurate and accepted by me, since I myself have suffered these abuses in poker, so I dared to put this publication on the forum.

I can sure relate to this ^

I too have had this happen on a table. It is disturbing for sure
I took screenshots of it too.

I have to admit i have used racist comments in anger, and even to rattle other players. I was brought up better but my desire to win sometimes makes me behave poorly.

 

[xFlyVOx]

Honestly, never seen any racist comments. People don't even talk to each other on the tables I'm in

Several days ago he was playing a free tournament and I met someone at the table who started verbally attacking him for being from Ecuador, even saying that the Indians don't know how to play poker. I am very upset but I am passive, so I decided to ignore it but it seems to me that there are people like that

 

[Jackmagic]

I am not racist...I hate all you bad beaters the same

When people ignore something it is for fear of that saying (what you fear most is your own reflection) they do not want to reflect their true darkness.

It seems that many people do not appreciate the value of being human and feel superior
