Default New option on party/skins? No more worthless spam.

Ok, maybe I missed this one but it is new to me.

Right click on the chat box and you can turn off viewer chat.
No more spam!!!

So how old is this news?

Click the drop down box, and choose Dealer Summary with no chat. It's the bomb. It's also fun to read what others say about me when I review hands later.

Apparently I'm the biggest known Bot on party. Or so says a few tin foil hat people.

This doesn't really address Party's problem--I'm not particularly concerned about *me* seeing observer spam about bots, cheating, hacking, etc.

Yeah, I guess your right, all the new players will get suckered/freaked out by these scams.

Why dont they have it off by default then you have the option of turning it on, that would solve the problem.

Default Re: New option on party/skins? No more worthless spam.

I had a nice discussion with a couple of fish at a table the other day about a program that supposedly showed other's hole cards. I explained how such a program is nigh impossible due to encrypted communication between the servers and player's computers. Also, that if a program did work/exist, or a player cheated in any way (collusion mostly), that Party would ban their acount and/or return funds to the cheated players. I think they both felt a lot better when I was done and the super-fish to my right bled a bunch of bets to me over the next half hour. Fish that trust the system are +++EV.

Why don't they just ban chat for anyone not sitting at the table? Problem solved.

God only knows. The latest chat spam I've been seeing is something like PartyPokerHacksYou.com or something like that. It's unbelievable that Party allows this nonsense.

Or even if they didn't go that far have it that you either have to have a real money account or at least a certain amount of money in your account. Wouldn't this work as well?

This is already in place, if you only have a play money account it wont let you chat in real money games.
