While Psyduck gets his chat back, I get this :


Hello Thayer,

Thank you for contacting Full Tilt Poker Support.

While we understand that sometimes observers, or "railbirds", think that
discussing hands in play or specific strategies are just "jokes" the
truth is these players in the tournament have a great deal of money at
stake. "Jokes" such as this one can influence play and can cost people,
literally, thousands of dollars. As such, we take these types of
comments very seriously and chat bans are the result.

I would ask you to consider for a moment if you were one of the players
playing. If you had a short stack and medium stack was getting involved
in a lot of pots you would be feeling pretty good about your chances of
advancing up the ladder. Then a railbird makes a "joke" about folding
into a higher position, after which the medium stack doesn't play
another hand.

I am certain you would not see the humor in the "joke" when it was your
money at stake.

While I understand that you may feel that a one month suspension is
silly, I hope you can understand now, using the above example, why it
is necessary.

If there's anything else we can help you with, please feel free to ask.
Best of luck at the tables!
