THE BITCOIN SERIES OF POKER BEGINS IN 2 DAYS!
Newbie question: Isn't it safer to use https instead of http on these links?
The links posted on the website use https, but you are correct that those few in the OP appear to have been missed.
PM us your SwC username and we'll shoot you a 500 ticket for the BSOP.
Really not a fan of the 500 krill chat requirement; why not put a chat filter instead? There are plenty of websites that provide extensive lists of common spam/comment/chat phrases for free.
Paying for chat privileges is an nice idea, but not a good solution at all IMO. Chat/Trollboxes have become common features at most crypto gambling sites. Asking users to pay for the ability to communicate with each other is like charging restaurant patrons for tap water.
I believe you are letting the actions of a few bad apples ruin the fun for everyone else. After all, the only thing that online poker lacks in comparison to live poker is the lack of social interactions.
At the very least, SwC should allow the "/action" chat function to work. I'm typing this while sitting at four empty tables with no way of telling other players I'm ready to donk off my stacks to them. This isn't fun.
A filter may be added to chat, but this alone would not have solved the issue. There had become a small group of toxic users that made it their mission to disrupt the chat box in different ways.
The rules were clarified and penalties for violating them were posted on the website. These players were given an opportunity to adapt. Some chose not to and this required us to remove them.
As mentioned, we believe the increased krill requirement will only need to be a temporary measure. We want SwC to be a place where all players have the opportunity to have fun playing Bitcoin poker and chatting together, including new users. We thank the vast majority of players that have been great during this period and have helped us on the path to that goal.
