Absolutely not true IMO. Even though some rec players might not like it, this isn't going to change them playing a game or not because they can not berate a player.
Regs should of known how to respect recreational players and this would of NEVER happened. I rarely have fish write to me on Stars (60,000+ game sample size) and I never write to them, have they left, no, am I not berating them for a reason of getting rematches and for them to deposit and try to win their money back?
I've had so many ****regs berate me that I had to turn off the chat as a winning player and not playing as much on the site (lucky for me I got options, imagine a recreational player in my shoes being berated every single day because of them playing a hand bad. (In the eyes of a reg who uses it to his "advantage")
It's insane how bad the chat on the site was, Party/Stars/888 are all about 99% better, you clearly know who is american when you are playing as a majority of them will berate you.
Even live now a days people aren't exactly talking at the tables, all the kids got headphones and sunglasses on, but even though they can talk they aren't telling you to die in a fire and using racist slurs on a daily basis.
I don't think people who are against this are exactly friendly to the "recs" in this thread by berating them for an "advantage" from my experience at least.
Edit: I'm in favor of this because
1. Will speed up the games
2. Recs will stop being berated on a regular basis
Downside yes some of the recs won't be able to berate others, but if they want to go berate people they can go on 2+2 or reddit or some other site instead.
Recs are playing poker to try and win money not to berate players, if this was the case they would all sit at the lowest stakes possible and just talk crap to everyone IMO..
