Throwables in Pokerstars.

[kerget]

Never really liked throwables, but there is one thing that I don't understand. The chat is filtered for bad words which is really cool. For example you can not write the word SHIT. On the other hand you can literally throw your opponent in the face with a pile of faeces (especially disgusting when the avatar of the targeted player is their own selfie). I checked Pokerstar's user agreement on this. It says nothing about throwables:

"7. OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE OR CONTENT
The User is prohibited from posting any unlawful, indecent, racist, obscene, libelous, defamatory or threatening material or any material that would violate any law or generally be considered to be offensive, via the Service whether using the chat function, the player images option or in correspondence with TSG's or the Flutter Group's staff."

What do you guys think?

I made exactly the same thread last month, but to answer your question I do not like it, but you can disable them on few platforms.https://www.cardschat.com/forum/online-poker-73/throwables-pain-in-ass-fun-515653/

Yeah I don't get that either. Cursing is bad (btw still works perfectly in german on PS chat🤣)
but you can throw fecies at each other like a monkey 🙄
Some are harmless I guess ...Like the tissue or the horseshoe or pineapple drink for example.
But the trashcan and the shitpile is quite unnecessary imo...

Horseshoe and harmless? Maybe you should test that out in real life

I quite like them. I dunno why. Childiosh I guess. However, I'd like to see some positive throwables... that allow me to congratulate a nice hand or a good play. I dislike the fact they are all pretty much negative...with a handful in the neutral territory.

I've found in League games on Replay poker that I WISHED I had throwables. So much slow play... Its funny because without the antes on Replay, there is little sense in slow play. You see fewer hands and pay more for the ones you play.

...

I lost a bunch of my throwables after a bad Stars release a while back. Wrote to them twice to have them re-instated but didn't get them. Kinda p*sses me off, as I had to spend real money to play the games to get the throwable. Feels like theft to me...

I turned off throwables at the beginning, because it was annoying that everyone was throwing, but it doesn't matter if someone else leaves it on.
It's simple, you can turn it off if it bothers someone.

They appeal to the inner child of the players 🤣

Guess that's why i have these still turned on in computer. Guess it's great to take notes on everyone using them on me in cardchat games ...

 

[moularaki]

i don't like them and don't use them also

 

[thedarkman]

Totally juvenile. I thought I'd got rid of them but they came back.

 

[blata8ruga]

I don't like throwables at all. Just seems very childish to me. If you want to get a point across, write something to me.

 

[lauestla]

I hate them that's why I have disabled these throwables. I really don't know why pokerstars propose them

 

[spectralwave]

Throwables I don't think it's offensive, because it's a softer joke for players who got hurt.

 

[Like2Play2]

I love the throwable, especially the snow balls, they are my favourite right now.

 

[Gallarado777]

you can just turn off these features and that's it so as not to see them and play regular quiet poker but it doesn't distract me and I'm comfortable with it

 

[canabero]

the most exciting part of disabling throwables is to see how a hater feels impotent for not be able to throw you a thing.

I don't like and i don't use it, I prefer to play my poker, it's a big, I don't like it, it tastes like everything

 

[skaterick]

everybody uses the ' animations' on ACR /BCP . no chat at all now .

 

[dallam]

For me, these throwables became only funny, and not take them seriously. Sometimes even get a piece of information, that they think that I'm an idiot, so I even turned them into my favour.

I don't think it has anything to do with poker and I don't understand why these throwables made it into online poker. From the beginning I deactivated this function and can't do anything with it.
