UB is right to change their chat rule

Look there are going to be things that are unpopular in online poker.  But this move is necessary for online poker.  From most of the card rooms standpoint they need to protect their player base.  It has become all too common to have people recruiting from other sites in a massive way. 

Party Poker used to be flat out ridiculous. 

This is an easy fix.  Each site should look at having a part in their application where people can go to chat.  Separate of the tables.  I know that everyone will complain but sites lose millions of dollars unnecessarily by having chat at the tables.  If you guys can't see why they would protect themselves from this you have lost your minds.

In the mean time I would be happy to set up 2-3 sites with chat formats for people to log on to.  If anyone is interested in helping me with this project let me know.

Beanie, I am not trying to pick a fight with you here. But I have a Question for ya. Tell me if I am wrong...Didnt UB do this to fight off the same affiliates you work for? The exact same rake back programs you work for are the reason I can longer chat at my tables. The constant spamming and recruiting that was going on with YOUR affiliates are the reason all this happened to begin with.

I am extremely pissed the chat has been removed because it has taken away my ability to talk to people about my ( rake generating ) tournement. I am forced to suffer because of the same people you work for. And attempted to  get me to work for.

Yes they need to protect their player database...from YOU Beanie!

But yet you come in here defending the action that had to be taken because of your influence in the poker community. You defend they action they took against YOU! Pick a side beanie...you cant not have it both ways.

I have always respected you in a big way But I have to say I am not sure which side of your mouth your talking out of right now.

Untill then F beanie
