Of course you're put off? That is just daft. Majority of people don't get put off at all by it. It's just 2 letters. If I put "ns" that wouldn't put you off then? Then clearly you're getting put under pressure because of 2 specific letters. Seriously you need to look at your own game and sort that out.

And calling it cheating is way out of order when it's not cheating at all.

If it bothers you that much, stick them on ignore.


I don't agree that you can link those two examples together. It's not how I play the game. No point on beating on about it though.

How exactly do you get rid of the 'chat window'?

just ignore them as damien said when they do it to me i wait 5 seconds for composure (bit like when crowd put you off in real game) then take your shot, works for me.

in the real game players stay silent normally so do you talk to your opponents, do you get put off by 'ns' 'ul' 'wp' etc, in fact if opponent talks in general and you can play through it then nothing should be able to put you off

with people being able to deactivate and open new accounts - to me - its pointless also


Not really. Some people try to leave the site then decide to come back a couple of week later. Pointless? No.

Some people get a lot of stick off an account and want to start afresh. Pointless? No.

You can never stop people doing this.


sry - i think you picked me up wrong

what I meant to say was if you are able to name and shame - that account holder could just deactivate - therefore name is no longer in play and open with another account that hasnt been named and shamed

thats why i think naming and shaming is pointless

If naming and shaming were to be allowed, then it would only be allowed when someone had broken a rule otherwise it is just defamation. Therefore, naming and shaming would have boundaries that would have to be enforced by site Admin and Moderators. In order for staff to know that the naming and shaming was valid, evidence would have to be submitted demonstrating the guilt of the player who you wish to name and shame, as the standard legal ruling of "innocent until proven guilty" applies. The only way that evidence of rule breaking can be shown is via "send complaint" for typed offences or by bringing a matter to the attention of Admin via "contact us" or by alerting a moderator in game. Admin would then have to consider the matter, decide if the player was guilty and then inform others that their complaint was correct and the player was indeed guilty before naming and shaming would be allowed. This, however, goes against the rules about privacy already in place on the game which ensure that staff cannot discuss details about one player with another, and so allowing naming and shaming is impossible on the site.

Want know what makes me laugh? i'll tell you.

All i see about the forums is people moaning that people "tap tap" all the time. Well is it against the rules? No.

You do what you need to do to win, so if someone snookers you because they need to do it to win are you going to moan to? Pointless question as 95% of people do.

Best part is, these people who moan about tapping and stuff do it themselfs also.

It takes 2 to tap, If they tap then you smash, simple! If you tap with them then that makes you a tapper as well.

Remember it's only a game, If you sit there tapping with them then i guess you take this game very seriously, rather than playing for fun.

not really, im an old school type of player but in arcade if someone taps me ill tap back and force them to make first mistake otherwise i smash not a case of seriousness or fun but depends what type of style you play.

just being smart and thinking ahead, i don't mind tappers anymore as i like the tactical game

also my personal opinion in arcade if people tap in ranked then they might take rank seriously

If you tap, by definition you're a tapper.

I don't mind being a tapper in reg or orig. Just arcade...

I'm not a live snooker expert lol so if there is indeed a rule that you can't tap on the breakoff, then I agree with you. But I'm fairly certain there isn't...
