Hi, all.

I think the topic of sexual harassment is well known for every woman in poker.
I am in an acute situation here on this forum of being harassed.

If you reported it to the mods and it's not a permaban, I'd send it to Mason. IIRC he was the one who put the B word on the obscenity list after I asked them to, and the first mod declined.

This unfortunately is not a new situation within these forums, however I suspect 2+2 is not the only online forum out there with similar issues.
This is why this forum, TWSS was created; to enable us to moderate to the extreme and not allow that kind of talk towards women within TWSS.
The sticky for TWSS is effectively explicit and trolls are simply not tolerated here.
Carry on!

Using something that's been used by men to turn virtually
anything into a sexual innuendo, surely can't be the
way forward.

I feel the same. I assumed the title of the subforum was chosen by a man. It certainly does imply that trolling women here is okay.

A quick look around will tell you the opposite.

You assumed incorrectly.

I don't like the title either, but I was just one voice.

As for this original question, I would have PMed Mat Sklansky.

this thread has the potential to teach guys of how NOT to talk to women initially.

He will show more respect when you take all his chips!

On a more serious note, live, there are people like that in many game venues. Alcohol and drugs do not help either. For what I've seen, ignoring him or answering in a calm but unfriendly/intimidating way often does the job. If the problem persists, contact whoever is in charge there and measures will probably be taken soon after.

Online, we have mods and everything is recorded, so he won't get away with it
