Title: How much do the hosts get paid? Post by: suzanne on January 22, 2007, 03:12:07 AM Not enough Im guessing.
Step 1 Apply for job in nice sunny climate, turn on the charm at interview convincing the interview panel that customer care will ALWAYS come first. Step 2 Get job, ban as many people as you can for no reason (maybe the neighbours dog did a wee wee on his leg?) and when they question it tell them to p*ss off politely coz u have a hangover. Darrel-Host (02:46:25): Hello, you are through to Darrell here @ xxx poker support how can I help you today? suzanne666 (02:46:43): Hi my chat has been suspended ..can you tell me why and for how long? Darrel-Host (02:48:16): i have reactivated your chat suzanne666 (02:48:28): why was i suspended? Darrel-Host (02:49:03): bad language suzanne666 (02:49:24): what bad language? suzanne666 (02:49:36): im curious Darrel-Host (02:49:59): i can notrepeat it i have lifted the ban now though Darrel-Host (02:50:03): Is there anything else I can help you with? suzanne666 (02:50:18): just paste chat please suzanne666 (02:50:26): then you are not repeating Darrel-Host (02:50:47): cnat do that if there is nothing else then i am going suzanne666 (02:51:19): whatever...another ban for no reason...bye (02:51:26): Chat session has been terminated. Sigh Title: Re: How much do the hosts get paid? Post by: MadYank on January 22, 2007, 03:24:52 AM Haha! Sounds like they accidently banned the wrong user and won't fess up.

There may be a couple of good hosts out there, but I've not come across them. Title: Re: How much do the hosts get paid?

Perhaps even their dreams might come true! Title: Re: How much do the hosts get paid? Post by: boldie on January 22, 2007, 02:47:54 PM I've spoke to some of the HP hosts..very decent folk I have to say.

Post by: The Baron on January 22, 2007, 03:23:05 PM Never heard of Darrel. Glad you got his name though. He's going to love meeting me.
Sorry about this Suzanne - I'll have a quiet word with him. Followed by 15 loud ones. Title: Re: How much do the hosts get paid? Post by: Royal Flush on January 22, 2007, 03:37:39 PM What has the host done wrong?
Title: Re: How much do the hosts get paid? Post by: Colchester Kev on January 22, 2007, 03:40:45 PM I dont even think it was blonde that suzanne was on.
Title: Re: How much do the hosts get paid? Post by: The Baron on January 22, 2007, 03:42:02 PM Ahh ok.
Cheers Kev. Title: Re: How much do the hosts get paid? Post by: matt674 on January 22, 2007, 03:48:27 PM Its 2.45am, he's sat in a room all on his own and he has 123469234124 people pinging him with problems. He's sorted yours by reinstating your chat - where's the problem?
If you are really that bothered about why your chat was suspended in the first place write to them but dont shoot the messenger as it probably wasn't Darrell who suspended your chat in the first place. Title: Re: How much do the hosts get paid? Post by: Eck on January 22, 2007, 03:50:06 PM What has the host done wrong? Asked her to marry him and bought her a ring? Only joking Trace, congratulations hope you have years of happiness together. :)up Title: Re: How much do the hosts get paid?

He's sorted yours by reinstating your chat - where's the problem? What if suzanne deserved the ban? I'm not saying she does but simply reinstating it if you complain seems like a poor solution - what about the real abusers who deserve a ban? Title: Re: How much do the hosts get paid? Post by: matt674 on January 22, 2007, 03:58:11 PM You would like to think that if the ban really was deserved then they wouldnt re-instate chat - but then without knowing the ins and outs of this particular case its impossible to make judgement.

He is always helpful when I have frequent cashier technical faults. Title: Re: How much do the hosts get paid?

ANd I'd like to think that if the ban wasn't deserved then they wouldn't get banned in the first place... Title: Re: How much do the hosts get paid? Post by: The Baron on January 22, 2007, 04:23:07 PM The point, IMO, is the dismissive nature in the line "If there's nothing else I'm going" when Suzanne was merely asking a question. I, as a player, would expect a better service than this. As a cardroom manager I would demand a better service than this.
The fact that it is 2:45 am will make no difference to him in Mauritius (sp?). It is not this one incident that is the problem. I'm sure many people on here (and elsewhere) could back Suzanne up when it comes to the "cant be bothered" attitude of SOME of the hosts. Thankfully it wasn't on blonde.

One of the problems with using a live online messanger chat service, it is so easy to misconstrue peoples attitudes and meanings when they are conversing. Ok, so maybe his choice of phrase wasn't ideal when finishing the conversation as it could be taken as being very apathetic but its not like he's said anything untoward. He did ask twice whether there was anything else, the first time he asked it was polite and there was a 50 second pause after the second time he asked while he waits to see if Suzanne does have any further questions but when the reply comes "whatever" then the conversation is ended. (Note i am not sticking up for these people - i never use the live chat facility on the occassions i am linked to tribeca) Title: Re: How much do the hosts get paid?

(Note i am not sticking up for these people - i never use the live chat facility on the occassions i am linked to tribeca) Matt I deliberately blanked out the site name because I didnt want it to look like I was having a go at any site in particular and as Kev pointed out it wasn't Blonde (still working on my bankroll there). The point that I was trying to make is that this happens far too often..I have been chat banned fairly in the past many times but unfairly more often. Each time you are chat banned it goes on a scoring level so i have been told, the more bans you have, the longer you are banned for which is fair enough if the system works. That unfair ban will still be logged on my "report card" and as someone who chats in the lobby on a regular basis I just wanted an explination...an apology would have been nice as I knew I had said nothing wrong but I knew from experience that hosts NEVER admit they got it wrong. Im not sure where you got the 50 seconds from as I count 32 and being a slow typer and in a game at the time is pretty fast for me :-) My complaint was about his attitude..at 2.45am he has more likely had his coffee break disturbed than thousands pinging him. I recall a thread that Jo (Justjo i think she is on here) some time back that illustrates this perfectly. As the lobby is going soon its no big deal but at the time i was annoyed. AND CONGRATS TRACEEEEEEEEE AGAIN xxxxxxxxxxx Very poor customer relations IMHO Title: Re: How much do the hosts get paid? Post by: TightEnd on January 24, 2007, 01:24:34 AM why do you ever say anything to get yourself chat banned? you say sometimes it is fairly, after all
surely this is poor self-control on your part and not the sort of behaviour you would encourage in others? Title: Re: How much do the hosts get paid?

If you were a regular to the lobby which correct me if im wrong but I dont think you are...it is something like this forum...a conversation will start up and then some moron will add something insulting which you take offence to. You answer back putting ur point of view and it can escalate into a full debated arguement very quickly with umpteen muppets jumping on the bandwagon... but it happens far far quicker than on here. So the the hosts go ...ban...ban...ban...without looking into what its all about. Fair enough if they are watching the convo from the beginning...but they are not, why is the lobby not moderated at all times? More than 1 has said they have work to do and glance at the lobby now and again. If there is a disturbance then they ban all regardless...unfair or not? My last what I consider "fair" ban was because a sick joke was posted in the lobby about the 5 girls who were murdered a couple of months back and them being prosistutes deserving it. I was VERY shocked at the female "so called friend" who went on to say scum like that deserve it. The conversation got VERY heated and I used anagram swear words which are not allowed...fair enough...so I broke the rules...banned deserved. Do I regret it NO Title: Re: How much do the hosts get paid? Post by: Dale on January 24, 2007, 02:18:13 AM make a youtube message to them

Post by: mex on January 25, 2007, 12:33:12 AM i was once phoned be space kitchens twice a day for 3 days, and they even turned up to my house uninvited, now i work for a bathroom and kitchen design company, and told them every time.
I told them i would turn up to the office and speak to the individual harrssing me in person face to face in the street, ( he had started to get very aggressive and told me my wife had wanted them to book an appointment and suggest she had lied to me), He said he doubted that as i was based 1 1/2 hrs away. Little known to him i had to go within 4 miles of their office within 3 days. When i turned up and asked reception to get him, he was suddenly unavailable and the sales director came down and said there had been a error and the individual would be retrained, but even he stayed behind the desk. BTW flushy used to post somegreta host chats esp the ones when he speaks in 2 languages and keeps switching. Oh and i was once banned for not being mexican? After a US player assumed i was and attacked me in lobby host said i had provoked it by defending Mexcains, when i wasn't mexican? Title: Re: How much do the hosts get paid?

Title: Re: How much do the hosts get paid? Post by: thetank on January 25, 2007, 04:02:41 AM Speaking French and getting banned, that reminds me.
Anyone know where the expression "pardon my French" after you swear comes from? Etymology experts out there wanna clue me up on this. Title: Re: How much do the hosts get paid? Post by: Trace on January 25, 2007, 10:08:58 AM Quite a few of us got banned before Xmas for saying Papier Mache in the lobby.
Apparently we weren't speaking English!! Title: Re: How much do the hosts get paid? Post by: thetank on January 25, 2007, 10:20:01 AM Quel dommage
