I really enjoy Replay Poker, and most of the time it’s a good time with some great people.
HOWEVER, there is one issue or perhaps aggravation is a better word.
Below is a direct copy and paste from the the Replay Facebook page which was for the February Bust the Staff tournament posted there February 15.
"We’re looking for a few sharpshooters!
Our Bust the Staff tournament runs tomorrow at 4pm ET, and thanks to Double Guarantees Week, the guaranteed prize pool has been DOUBLED to 1 million chips!

On more than one occasion the most recent one being today, we were playing poker and enjoying the game even though we were not interacting or chatting with each other very much.
In this particular instance and in some of the others, I won a pot. Someone commented “nh” I replied with the “T”
IMMEDIATELY the “Dealer” said in RED “Please don’t flood the chat box,”
I had enough of this and said “one word is hardly a flood”
Now to my point (I know I know I’m long winded.)
The official post above CLEARLY states to “have a chat.” Your words.
We are not unruly children nor were we behaving as such. So why are we being treated as if we were?
Statements such as that being made with no just cause, can and DO take away most of the enjoyment in a big way.
I realize that observation is required on some occasions and to some extent supervision.
Poker is a social game.
No one at the table objected.
No one was being rude or insulting.
Nor were there any lengthy conversations being held.
The “BROADCASTS” are what “FLOOD” the chat box.
Not a normal civilized comment or congratulation with another player.
These incidents were entirely unwarranted and unnecessary, which made them demeaning to us.
There is a known quote regarding a flower not making a certain part of the anatomy a vase just because it’s put there, which definitely applies to this.
Starting the sentence with the word please does NOT make it any more right.
It looks like some people need to be taught the difference between excess and taking a power trip with their authority.
As I stated in the beginning I really enjoy Replay Poker, most of the time
End of rant.
