• Responsible behaviour....................so what does that mean??????

  April 14, 2009

  Hi Guys,

  I have just been on a poker site who shall remain nameless watching a high stakes HA match between Antonius and Ivey which was entertaining to say the least (including massive 200k pots). Anyway, so here I am watching them play and there are the usual idiots on the rail. Same old thing, spamming,abusive language, begging for money and general ignorance and disrespect of other people which as we all know is commonplace unfortunately on sites like this one.

  But heres the thing which was a little different. There appeared to be a girl on the rail who was begging for money repeatedly and yes the issue of sexual favours came up followed by these idiots wanting her email address, willing to give her cash etc. It was at this point where i expected the chat moderator to come along and ban them altogether. What did transpire was nothing. Ten minutes later the chat moderator pops up suspending one guys chat priveleges for a whole 10 minutes for spamming and another for less than a day for abusive language. As I speak alot of these idiots are still there saying whatever they want with no course of action imposed by this site.

  So anyway,

  this got me thinking. Why don't these sites take positive action against the morons once and for all and hit them with monthly or yearly bans etc. The answer of course is simple. If these poker sites did that they would lose these players (who probably put in their paychecks every payday. Yes it comes down once again to money and the fact that these poker sites don't want to lose business at any cost. So, the message which is sent out is simple, do what u want, say what u want, abuse whoever the hell u want.......... it is all okay. Just please,please keep depositing that paycheck to us every fortnight.

  I firmly believe that poker sites have a responsibility to the poker industry and its players to act in an appropriate manner, be decisive in their actions and do what is in the best interests of the players. It is NOT ALL ABOUT THE DOLLAR, a sobering thought to be sure!

  regards
