Our goal is to give players from all over the world a place to have fun playing low rake bitcoin poker.
Although chat remains uncensored & we allow players the freedom to share differing opinions, chat is a privilege that can be revoked by management if it becomes an issue.
We've learned that there is a small but loud group abusing this freedom. As we review chat logs and gain more info further actions will be taken.
We are open to suggestions from the community and want to work together to create the most player-friendly poker site in the world.
https://twitter.com/SwCPoker/status/1215863987654594561I personally have nothing against unmoderated chat. Many of us sit behind our computers all day long barely going outside at all. If we were only watching censored TV and YouTube, censored shows on Netflix and reading politically correct messages on social media platforms, how the hell we'd know what people really are? How could we prepare ourselves for the real world?
I'm not saying that racist jokes are okay, or anything, but let's leave it on the conscience of those who say them. If we don't like them we can ignore them, or, maybe, user should have an option to mute this or that player for him/her personally. But there are so little uncensored places left that I would prefer at least to have poker chat the way it is.
We love your attitude throughout this thread and thank you for being a part of SwC.
Chat will remain uncensored. We welcome players from all over the world and allow them the freedom to express a wide variety of opinions. There is no poker site that gives players this much freedom. If a user doesn't wish to engage or see chat from certain players they are encouraged to right click on that player and ignore them.
However, chat has always been a privilege and if user abuses this freedom and their chat becomes disruptive it is subject to being revoked.
This also applies to spamming or flooding chat, posting explicit hyperlinks, posting referral codes and advertisements for other sites, making threats, doxxing other users, etc.
These rules are not new and although we choose to give a lot of leeway, action will be taken when necessary. Repeated violations will result in a permanent loss of chat.
