jeffster Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 Re: My Sporting Odds Chat ban....WTF ? Jaded, Email or PM me please - only got SO poker running at present, as I am currently on dial up - My broadband provider, Madasafish, emailed me earlier this week, asking if I wanted to upgrade my speed from 2 meg to 8 meg...I said "Yes", not realising that the "10 day stabilisation period" for the line to be tested and speed upgraded actually means no broadband service at all ! TIA Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelegge Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Re: My Sporting Odds Chat ban....WTF ? Jeffster, E-Mail me ([email protected]) with your SO nickname and a bit a background and i'll look in to it for you. Boss control the chat bans and they've gone to war recently but i'm trying to calm them down. Joe SportingOdds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Re: My Sporting Odds Chat ban....WTF ? Thanks for getting involved in this Joe and for "fighting our corner". Jeffster is not the only one, and Joe has been in dialogue with Boss on behalf of others. The ban is solely the decision of Boss and Sporting Odds have not been involved in it at all (indeed they have been strongly supporting our case). As Joe mentioned - it seems Boss have "gone to war" recently and are issuing a lot of Chat Bans. In general terms I would support this and it is the right thing to do. However, there are many and frequent breaches of chat that are far more serious than what PL members appear to have been banned for - and Boss should be dealing with these cases (which we have been bringing to their attention for MONTHS, but with little action). "Advertising" PuntersLounge in a Boss chat box is now considered unacceptable by them. So I would urge all PL'rs to refrain from doing this. If you wish to refer to PuntersLounge, then I suggest you use the initials "PL" instead. Hopefully we can come to some kind of understanding with Boss and they can reintroduce chat privaledges of PL'rs who have committed pretty minor transgressions of their chat policy, but see them get tough on the real abusers of their chat who are so undermining the integrity of their games.

jeffster Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 Re: My Sporting Odds Chat ban....WTF ? I dont understand Boss' policy at all....:unsure My ban must be because I mentioned PL to a London based player in my Scottish Daily on 5th April...I think the guys ID was "IN2CEPT", he seemed a pretty good player and a good laugh as well , qualified through the daily with me, so I mentioned PL to him... Surely, Boss should be able to see that the more PLers there are, the more players will be entering their tourneys = more cash for Boss and their affilliated Poker Rooms :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we need to get Morlspin to translate "Punters Lounge" into Hungarian for us ??? :tongue2 Best not, we have enough trouble with 'em at SO, without them invading here as well!!!:eek :eek Though at least GaF and the others Mods could ban em, which Boss seem unable or unwilling to do.:@ :@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Re: My Sporting Odds Chat ban....WTF ? I had my chat disabled for a while as well but that was for using the Hungarian swear words, but It seems to be back now. Has this problem been resolved?

Sir Puntalot Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Re: My Sporting Odds Chat ban....WTF ?

Hedonist Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Re: My Sporting Odds Chat ban....WTF ? Sounds crazy to me. Everyone in the inter forum challenge would have to be banned and the spectators as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is Boss Media to Sporting Odds!!!! Important to make the distinction I feel - Sporting Odds are being great on this - the whole problem is coming down from Boss Media. No doubt the same problems will be happening on Virgin, poker.co.uk, Mermaid etc...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
