Re(1): UB is right to change their chat rule In reply to By BigMac1082 on 02-01-2006 5:17 PM I agree.  I'm so sick of those poker bonus sites.  Seems like they show up every 10 minutes.

Re(1): UB is right to change their chat rule In reply to By wowswift on 02-01-2006 5:18 PM really though, the advertising people only come to the cash tables, and I actually think its good for UB to take OBS chat off of cash games, for that reason and that is where most of the beggers show up. But I don't see why they take it off of SNGs.... having chat rooms with thousands of people would be insane. it would be almost impossible to moderate that.

Re(2): UB is right to change their chat rule In reply to By wowswift on 02-01-2006 5:20 PM also, why don't they just make people with chat privledges people who have real money accounts? I am pretty sure the people who are spamming the cash tables have never deposited on UB.

Re(1): UB is right to change their chat rule In reply to By dd on 02-01-2006 5:23 PM I disagree with beanie. Chat is an inalienable human and dog right. To take it away sucks. Maybe the prev. poster had a good idea about restricting it to persons with accounts. Steve

Re(3): UB is right to change their chat rule In reply to By beanie on 02-01-2006 5:23 PM You make a great point but I think this has been a thorn in the side of online poker for too long and I support the decision though I am fully aware that I will be in the minority.

Re(2): UB is right to change their chat rule In reply to By beanie on 02-01-2006 5:25 PM Won't happen.  I am telling you guys they will take the heat on this one.  Come up with a better solution.  Soon this will be par for every site.  Get used to it. F Shooting the Messenger

Re(4): UB is right to change their chat rule In reply to By wowswift on 02-01-2006 5:26 PM But when you think about it, how do you react when you see some fool spamming up a cash game? I don't sit there and think, "wow that is so awesome, let me take the time to sit here and type out the link" no you don't give a crap and you ignore it. They could also just not allow people to type in anything with a .com at the end.

Re(1): UB is right to change their chat rule In reply to By FlyersGuy on 02-01-2006 5:30 PM I just chatted as an observer.

Re(3): UB is right to change their chat rule In reply to By Johnny 53 on 02-01-2006 5:30 PM HATE ! the no chat ..... reason i play here . Play lo limits but can still chat w/friends. This is rediculous. Each player can turn off (obs) chat if they dont like it so why make it mandatory? But I'm sure my opinion carries little weight so ............thx for the soapbox!

Re(2): UB is right to change their chat rule In reply to By wowswift on 02-01-2006 5:31 PM you can chat as an observer in MTTs, just not SNGs or cash games

Re(4): UB is right to change their chat rule In reply to By beanie on 02-01-2006 5:37 PM It isn't about that.  Did you read my original post? They actually do have a very valid reason and you will see this trend on most sites.  I know this for fact.

Re(1): UB is right to change their chat rule In reply to By MUPokerPlayer on 02-01-2006 5:38 PM Beanie, If I'm not mistaken, you were the guy who commended UB when they took away the ability for observers to view hand history. You said it was "necessary for online poker" because they "need to protect their player base". After a few short days of a barrage of emails ridiculing this change, they reverted back. I predict that this 'upgrade' will have a similar fate. P.S. Wowswift's solution is the most logical: allow chat privileges to only real money players who have made a deposit. What is wrong with this idea?

Re(2): UB is right to change their chat rule In reply to By beanie on 02-01-2006 5:48 PM I would be willing to bet you on this one.  Name the price.  Sites weren't losing millions off of hand histories. I still think they were wrong to cave on that one.

Re(3): UB is right to change their chat rule In reply to By dirtyneill on 02-01-2006 5:53 PM I think this is fine and understand why the sites do this. However, when you are eliminated from a tournament you are immediately cut off (Party). At the final table of a tournament, you cannot tell your opponents good game or anything. You are done. There need to be some adjustments to allow the players entered in a tournament to chat at that tourney, or somthing along these lines.
