Hello readers. today i have made a vow: i will never play again in my life on pokerstars. first of all, they don't have rake there. second and most outrageous: they really allow RACISM there. i have been playing on pokerstars since 2010 and i have been a victim countless times. the "problem", the BIG "problem" is that i am a Romanian. yes, indeed it is a problem nowadays. players from all the countries in Europe called me "GIPSY"! why? every country in the world have gipsyes, Italy, beautiful U.K., U.S.A., France, Germany, and many other countries. but they are not romanian gipsy, are their own. born and raised there. A ROMANIAN IS NOT A GIPSY!!!! please understand this. why i am so upset beeing called a gipsy?! because i am NOT! i am not a turkish, i am not a chinese, i am not a martian, i am romanian! let me ask you another thing, please! WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A GIPSY?! it is worse than beeing a gay? it is worse than beeing a raper? it is worse than beeing a killer or a thief? Poker, beautiful poker is a sport, is a culture, it's even a science. i love this game, it's part of my life. how are we advertising poker by allowing racism on the platforms and punishing the provoked players?! were can we play in peace?! pokerstars is one of the biggest platform in the world and one of the dirtyest in the world. for 3 years they have changed NOTHING there. why?! because there are unqualified moderators who doesn't understand what does it mean to be a Human. they punish words like: gay, stupid, even donkey! LOL )) but they never punish a players that's calling a romanian GIPSY! do you all know who are thegipsyes? what are they, from where are they coming, the history? it is very barbarian to curse an entire country because of some "specimens"! and after all, a gipsy is not a human beeing?! yes my friends, on pokerstars you are beeing punish for defending yourself and the racist idiots are not. i could bet that at least 80% of you readers have been through the same problem, beeing cursed and attacked unfair and justice didn't came. i would very much appreciate any kind of comment here. and i swear, the first one who can demonstrate that romanian are gipsyes, i will reward him with 1000 $. from this day on, i will never play again on pokerstars, it hurts too much. there are so many other nice platforms in the world with better offers, rake, tournaments, equall treatment and many other things.. i appologize any gipsy who read this post and felt hurt, i was talking about the racist on pokerstars, not about the gipsyes. a true moderator on a platform should have brain in his head and common sense.
when you call a man "gipsy" is a characterization with a negative subliminal message.
i didn't wrote this subject because i needed attention, dear brothers, i did it to make a difference, i am sick and tired about the delusional "never mind" reaction.
This was an interesting thread and fun read. I think u are lucky to be able to play on stars , in the first place, unlike the rest of us Americans. Good luck.
Michael Paler, what about the subliminal message of a infractional based image formed by the media? i repet, beeing an chinese, i am just a Chinese! get it? why so upset? because that word who underlines the 5th world negative character get's to escape unpunished. with the lejerity that you show, the discrimination gets loose every day.
you get it wrong somehow. i wasn't the one calling a gipsy "low life"!! please read more careful. the characterization as a "gipsy", to whatever nationality individual means something, has a subliminal message, like they would be some kind of terrible animals who live wrong, do wrong, means wrong. get it now? there are in my country, as in any other country, a lot of them, i have a lot of them as friends, i do not see in them some kind os a specie or martian creatures. the SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE of calling someone a Gipsy is the big mistake. you call him criminal, rapist or whatever, pedophile or whatever, but by calling someone a gipsy in a specific context, is wrong. most of you didn't get it. and about the gays: ok, is a sexual choice, not a characterization. LOL, LOL and LoLLLLL, what ridiculous reaction have some when a individual is calling another one "gay", but laughing at the "gipsy" word. what is media showing about the gipsyes in France, U.K. and other countries? bad things.. they describe the entire ethnic popualiton being as some terrible "creatures" out of this world with very bad habits, thiefs, bullies, dirty, poor, and many other things.. each and every one of you could make a difference, i by the way, i didn't wrote this subject because i needed attention, dear brothers, i did it to make a difference, i am sick and tired about the delusional "never mind" reaction. i am happy anyway, at least 5 of you did get it right. didn't me in the post, didn't see my frustration in the post, didn't see a "no harm done" in that word. it is the fact, the growing indiference and lack of tollerance among us. i appologize for my gramathical mistakes, though, i think they doesn't matter since the essence is understood.
i leave the chat blocking to you guys, who don't care about humanity, i scream out alongside with the good mates who are feeling what's right and what's wrong.
This is the most brilliant opening post I've ever seen. Bravo.
I think gypsies are kinda cool, only working when the when they want and they get to ride around in those tricked out wagons. Not the baby stealing though....that ain't right.
Being a Texan who now lives in Germany, I find it hilarious when I get called "Hitler" or "nazi" which happens more than I would have thought.
I reply "better a nazi than white trash redneck". Sadly, only I get the joke.
I always leave chat on cause it gives a lot of info at times. Ppls chat does not affect my playing at all tilt wise.
