chat banned on full tilt

[Zorba]

Honestly though, I had not been warned before

The only thing I can think of is that last week I had a little second account on full tilt for the smaller stakes that they closed down... Whoops!

If it were a general strike system that that would make sense.

But if that is the penalty I will just have to cope with it for a month.

And maybe better learn to control my emotions...

I did send them one last email - my last stand - contending that since my words were not directed at an individual, and weren't even said in anger, that they should alleviate the ban, or at least reduce the sentence. It won't change anything though, obviously...

1. Your lucky they didnt close down both accounts and confiscate your cash.

2. Was it your emotions or were you testing the censor you cant have it both ways

^^^^^^^^
This

Try reading their rules next time and you won't have any issues. Both swearing and dual accounts are against their code of conduct. Be thankful you can play, let alone only have a 1 month ban on your chat.

ive had chat banned before back when i did freerolls and play money, and i was never warned, normally you are reported by another player

I turn all the chat, but the dealer chat, off at FT.

It's enough trying to work through a flawed random number generator, and a few hundred million donkeys.

Seriously, why do you continue to berate the donks? Just be glad they're are donks around. Yes, they'll suck you out occasionally, but they'll pay you off nine times out of ten when they call an all-in with 5,7 suited.

You know when you berate them, you may be giving them advice on how to improve their game. You really don't want to do that, do you?

2. Was it your emotions or were you testing the censor you cant have it both ways

Your first point is exactly correct I am very lucky that I didn't have my money confiscated. I didn't take the time to read the rules - I was under the impression that you could have multiple accounts if you used them seperately, and I believed you were allowed to swear if it was spelled correctly. Obviously, I was wrong on both counts.

In regards to your second question, I was actually testing the censors when I did swear - my point in controlling my emotions was that I can no longer make a snide remark to a donk (i.e. "well played" on a suckout, etc.) Since I can no longer talk, I cannot berate the donkeys, which now has had numerous benefits to my game including:

1. Donks will continue being donks

2. I don't get into a fruitless argument with a donk that makes me lose my temper, and go on tilt.

And as a side note, I had actually been warned before, but I did not see the email...

I think this chat-censorship is excessive.

1. Players can block individual player's chat
2. Players can block all chat
3. The system censors words, even non-offensive words

Why is there need to on top of that ban player's chat? One could swear in public and no one can do anything about that. And people don't have the protections already in place online.

To on top of that confiscate funds is ridiculous. Poker rooms should be regulated like financial institutions. They should not have the right to confiscate funds except if fraud is proven in a court of law.

As for automatic censorship, I would do the following if I were designing a poker site: Let each player chose their own level of tolerance. Then, each player has a rating related to how many people have turned off his chat. The more, the higher the rating. So chat can be automatically blocked to the players with the corresponding tolerance level.

Take your beats like a man you f*$&ing d!$*s@&$^ $@^&#$ f*$%er.

What word is this?

dastardly

You didn't bleep it correctly. According to encyclopedia bleepanica, dastardly is bleeped as f*$&in#g d!$*s@&$^ $@^&#$ f*$%er not f*$&ing d!$*s@&$^ $@^&#$ f*$%er

The thing that get me about censors is that once in a while I will get strange words **** out. Make me laugh! It has been a long while since now I don't spend much time chatting with all the instant hand analysis going on.

Now this idea I like!

I don't chat. I just read to try and pick up tells.............

Cut off chat

You have an option to turn off any person's chat. Stay positive in your play. You will lose AK to a lot of hands even 2 7. Since he won must have been a calculated play. Maybe based on your emotions. He must have thought you were the DONK - lol.

Focus on the game not one hand and forget the being banned stuff. You won't change their rules or Management or the DONK's play.

Best of Luck! :icon_sant

@#$% happens

One could swear in public and no one can do anything about that.

Not true, actually. At least not in the UK. If you swear near a Police Officer, you`ll be advised not to, and may be fined or arrested if you persist.

That's how it is in America if women/children are around. That's the law at least, but I've never seen it enforced.

I can see this for children, but women? Would that not be discriminatory?

 

[wsop33]

Hey your here to play poker, if you want to chat go to a chat room #*&%# idiot.

 

[CAPT. ZIGZAG]

I use the chat all the time to psyche my opponents. Though, not in friendly games. Like todays tourney.

Last night I saw a guy with a huge stack make a big move with 9-7 un. I called him a donk.

Luckily for me I hit real good on the next two hands. He went after me in an anger filled assault, and I took his whole stack. IN TWO HANDS.

Can you say full TILT poker?

Since when did that change any laws in this country, save for any civil rights movements?

Anybody up for a march up to the white house so people of all ethnicities and genders can be sworn at with no fear of retribution???

I can see it now...

Thats not very nice, here at Cardschat most are very helpful and nice people You sir, are a #@$% . Get it? Get it?

The chat feature actually can be a valuable tool. False tells (my favorite), putting opponents on tilt, and a couple of other things make the chat itself helpful while playing poker.
