A pretty sad Pokerstars Chat warning

[Big TR]

So I was checking my backup email account where I have my poker-related emails setup. I check it once a month. About 3 weeks ago I got a chat warning for abusive behavior.

I was flagged for calling somebody a "moron". He was berating some guy who had just left the table down a ton of money he had tilted off.

I think that maybe Stars needs to evaluate their number of customer service employees if this is the type of stuff that they fill their time with. I see a potential cost savings initiative here before their IPO.

As someone here said, playing on Pokerstars is like playing under a caring mother and all your opponents are unicorns. If you think about it that way, your situation makes a whole lot more sense.

Don't know if they were necessarily 'filling their time' just trying to find this stuff.
Very possible that somebody at the table reported it.

most likely the guy who he was berating....

[Uglyowl]

I only thought the word rigged drew that much scrutiny

[Big TR]

I'm certain the "moron" reported it. I think it is sad that they put forth effort to send me a nastygram about it.

[stigmata]

That's standard practise when there's a complaint about someone. If he was actually the one being abusive to a player then explain the situation to them and I'm sure they will send him a nastygram.

You probably got reported, so what?

Since I'm in class and bored, Stars chat rant:

I got a warning on there once, it was a stud8 hand where I had aces up in a multi-way jammed pot and it was damn obvious this other guy that was jamming me had wired 2's. I was tilty, folded, and typed "you better have 222." He split a massive pot and told me for a while after to shut my [censored] mouth about hands, bla bla bla. He reported me and I got an email from stars saying if I was still IN the hand, I could talk about his holding as much as I want, this is "coffee-housing" or something, but as soon as I fold it's a breach of conduct to say anything. Makes a lot of sense.

Stars has a vested interest keeping table chat reasonably polite.

Berating people at the table is stupid.

"Where are all the fish?"

A: No one calls you a moron at the blackjack table.

Of course, the people who do it are always fish themselves.

That is a foul lie.
