Just wondering on opinions. I was just at a table where people were conversing in chat in Russian and Danish. Obviously I can't understand this and often there were people chatting who were in the same hands together. I have no idea if collusion was going on.
I reported it to online support, but what is the general consensus on this? Legal? I have no idea what they are saying but if I'm chatting in English others may have no idea what I'm saying either.
lol omg wtf is this thread.
did you really report people for not speaking english?
Of course I did. When you sit down at a table (at least on this site) it tells you straight up chat is to be in English only. How do I know those guys aren't talking about their hands to each other?
Noone colludes at 1NL ffs.
whilst a little petty, dude does have a point
At many sites (PokerStars for example) this is against the rules and you can call a moderator.
I guess what set me off is that I asked them to stop and they told me to STFU - in English. And then proceeded to keep chatting in whatever.
lmao, +1Quote:

If they were going to collude there are other ways to chat than actually using the chatbox so nobody catches on. The only reason to report them would be to either tilt them or have them leave if your afraid they are going to take a fish's money. I would report them to gain an advantage but no way do I worry about collusion.
I've seen that ><> thing a few times now, but I don't understand what it means? :(Quote:

<(((><
just look at it for a while and then let us know when you feel retarded
Yep, already there. :) Surviva came into IRC and basically called me out on it and spoon explained what it was lol. God i phail. :(
I love how, 1., you actually asked them to stop and 2., you're then offended that they didn't tell you to STFU in a language you can't understand.Quote:

As has also been pointed out, you can call a moderator, which I've done once - although for rude language, not for foreign language - when the guy in question was berating my fish's play. That, or you want the guy in question's seat, are really the only reasons I can see for getting him kicked out, mostly people who're having friendly chats about the weather in the chatbox are pretty bad.
This thread's pretty lol though.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLF!!!!!Quote:

Very unlikely to be collusion, but if you have an issue, report them.
1) collusion using chatbox would be beyond retarded
2) dont look at chat--no reason to chat or look at chat unless playing private with friends
noooooooooQuote:

Nothing wrong with saying "nice hand" after someone lays a bad beat or cooler on you, though.Quote:

i tell people to hurry the fuck up when they tank/fold pf to a 3xbb open
Lol <3 surviva
Exactly. When you chat something like, "hey, I hear the weather is nice in San Diego", "nh", or my favorite "srry" (wtf?), you also open yourself to saying stuff like, "why didnt you just let me steal your blinds with that bullshit 37s you fuckin' lucky cock suckin' station donk". Or maybe thats just me.
Thats just you. :)
I've reported Stacks and Dranger for flooding the chat box.
And I report Eurotrash all the time. It's fun.
BooG the Buzzkill imo.
