Playing at SWC is a lot of fun when some random wannabe (higherhighs) , a "helper" for swc, controlling the chat, joins the table, sucks out in the very first hand and then even talks bs about getting somebodies chat banned if you dont follow HIS rules. Just saw him talking back to some other player at my table, this guy is something else.

Its good to know swc "employees" also play and get lucky at the table, 1 more account to avoid.

No wonder more and more people leave this site.

Cashgame action has been way, WAY down in the last few weeks, and that's with record hitting BBJ. Guess it's a mix of people playing the series, BTC getting more experience and people just leaving for better sites, but it's noticable.

[SkyReVo]

Higherhighs is definitely a weird hire, given that he is all but confirmed cheating at their OFCp tables. I wonder if the SWC team thinks he helped or hindered the site.

I haven't cashed out everything, sometimes there are some mega fish you can take advantage of, but my action there went from 80% to like 10%. Kinda sad, I liked earning BTC directly. But oh well..

[lebregone]

I love playing poker and I am pretty exciting knowing that there is a platform that accepts bitcoin. I have visited your house rules and I
have a little questions to ask as it is very important for me as a poker player for many years already.

Unlike land base poker, we can assure that there is no bot in the table and the dealer is fair. And you have you have said that bots are prohibited.
may I know how you can assure that there will be no bot that can bypass your platform? I am only raising this question to satisfy my doubts and for me
to start playing your platform right away.

Higherhighs is not a site employee but has been voluntarily assisting us in the short term by reporting chat that violates the rules stated on our website. Reports from higherhighs, or any other player, will be looked at by the team with the ultimate decisions and actions made by management. Chat moderators and a tournament director will be announced soon and will be present in chat and identified as SwC employees.

If you are curious about the reason for a chat mute that you have received, feel that you received a chat mute in error, would like to report chat that you feel violates the rules, or want to give feedback on this issue we invite you to email support.

Correct. Bots are prohibited and there are measures in place, although we are unable to share details publicly. Players found to be using a bot or breaking any rule regarding game integrity are subject to actions at management's discretion; including account closure and the loss of funds. If you feel that a bot is playing or observe any activity that you believe should be looked at by security please do not hesitate to email support and the team will investigate.

He is sitting at tables, blocking seats and threatens people "I will get your chat muted" . Feeling like a boss.

I've run into HH a few times here and there tournaments mostly but a few cash games as well. Can't way I've had any issues with them. Hell I even poked the bar a few times when this all started, by making jokes about getting banned at our table chat. They took it in stride.
On that note though grab a screenshot of these threats, or report it at the time. If it's an invalid warning/threat then SWC has something concrete to look at; this has been lacking from all accusations I've seen against HH.

I don't consider it blocking seats if they are at the table with chips to play. If you just mean the table is full and they are there, and you feel you should be able to take their seat, just go open another table and wait for action and/or wait on the list.

I'm not a fan of the Krill requirement for chat, but I can also understand needing to take steps to curb certain speech people feel should be protected everywhere even on a private companies discussion board. People should consider there are worse alternatives to this that would involve account verification and such so that bans could stick.

[figmentofmyass]

not only did they spend years not moderating anything and cultivating a culture where you could say anything in chat, but they built a goddamn troll box into the site.

needless to say, they shouldn't be surprised they are now alienating regulars with this policy. not to mention noobs who are de facto banned from chatting at tables.

i'd be curious to know if it's affecting their bottom line. traffic has not been stellar as of late, and i've seen multiple people threaten to leave over it, between the chat, 2+2, and here.

i have no experience with higherhighs, but i've heard enough to conclude he is a problem.....

[SwC_Poker]

If you are curious about the reason for a chat mute that you have received, feel that you received a chat mute in error, would like to report chat that you feel violates the rules, or want to give feedback on this issue we invite you to email support.

This is BS btw. support rarely ever responds to emails, let alone in a timely manner and if you are really, really lucky you may receive a response weeks late in broken english that doesn't even address your question/concern.

I was recently banned for literally no reason. I do not use racial slurs, I do not spam the chat or do anything else that was against the rules. The day I was banned I was hardly even chatting when suddenly your moderator announces in chat that I am receiving a one-week ban along with another player (who was antagonizing the moderator all day to be fair) would be receiving a 1 month ban. I asked why in chat because he surely must be making a mistake but received no response and moments later lost my ability to chat. The other player who had seemingly earned is ban in all respects continued to chat for the rest of the day when Higherhighs addressed it saying "oops i spelled your name wrong when trying to ban you so consider it a warning.

Meanwhile I wrote a very polite and reasonable email to support trying to figure out what I did wrong and of course I have yet to receive a response (it has been one week now.) I have @swcpoker many times on twitter and have not received a response.

I do not break the rules. I do not use racial slurs. I do not abuse other players. I was already not doing these things before the new rules were implemented. I am also pretty sure I was actually permanently banned because it has been one week and I still am not able to chat on the site.

I am done, thank you for years of fun SwC but I won't be treated like scum for no reason.

Please PM us with your username and we will review whether a mistake may have been made in your case, and look in to the issue with support email response time.

Seems like you have a personal vendetta but I'll bite in case I'm wrong.  How is he all but confirmed cheating?  Solver? collusion?

Yes, he is live solving.


I wonder if SWC could answer these three questions to alleviate some concerns about security of funds and integrity of the site:

1) Has ownership of SWC recently changed?
2) Do you not consider it a conflict of interest that higherhighs is playing against players he is actively involved in muting/banning?
3) Do you consider the PR you have gotten recently better than before and do you anticipate it changing in the future?

Thanks in advance.

[TwitchySeal]

Thanks.

If he's clicking the buttons and the solver is running on a second machine it seems very unlikely they'd be able to prove it and even if they could I don't think there's any real solution.  Banning him would effectively just reduce his rakeback (which is almost nothing in OFC) and make it more difficult for other players to avoid playing him on a new account.

They might not respond since you're mostly trolling them, but I assume the answers are probably something like:

1- You'll never know who owns the site unless they don't mind going to prison.
2- No. He just reports players to management, kind of like you are right now.  
3- They've had better and worse PR before now and do not anticipate it staying the way it is right now forever.

[SkyReVo]

I'm sorry for the double post, but since you run some rather successful mixed game tournaments sometimes, I want to make a suggestion:

PokerStars has a structure in which blinds start much higher in comparison, but one orbit of games has the same blinds for each game (in this case the split games even have slightly higher blinds, see FLO8), here's an example:



Now, this tournament is rather turbo, but I think the general idea is great and worth adopting since, as it stands now, some games are way more impactful than others, just because of the way they're sorted.

I hope you like the idea and trial it sometimes. It is far more fair and, as a side effect, starting with higher effective blinds will facilitate more re-entries, which is good for SWC and the price pool!

[marlais]

2- No. He just reports players to management, kind of like you are right now.  

Just reports players to management, but somehow can view the screenshots that other players send to support@swcpoker.eu by HH's own admission.

How many other players do you think spend time every day with SWC going through the emails sent to support?

I know multiple people who have been waiting 10+ days for a simple response from SWC support, but somehow this regular player who "just reports players to management" reads other players' emails to support on a daily basis.

I reiterate, SWC needs to answer whether they don't consider this a conflict of interest. For what it's worth, this is exactly why we (OFCp regs) haven't sent proof of higherhighs cheating to SWC. First of all, we don't know who exactly is looking at it, apparently he does himself! Secondly, nothing would ever be done, and lastly you have to fear personal retribution from him, as he recently threatened me with "Not only is chatting a privilege on SWC, so is playing."


@SWC_Poker: This is SHADY AS F***, come on. You know better than this.

Let's clear some things up.

First, SkyReVo AKA Ugot0chance on SwC has played a good number of hours of chinese poker against me. And I first learned that solvers existed for chinese poker because he started accusing a different player we were playing against of cheating. Apparently, if he wins, he is the greatest, and if he loses, it could only be because someone cheated him.

I have never cheated one hand of poker in my career, and I have never used a solver while playing or for practice. Because of this, I am confident there is no proof of me 'cheating', because I never have. 

What uGot0Chance/SkyReVo forgot to mention is that I offered him $2,000, no strings attached, to provide any proof that I have cheated or used a solver in any capacity. This was my response to him calling me a cheater after our last session. That offer is still open and available to anyone.

I also offered him to escrow $2,000 and I would do the same, and I would livestream play him, to prove that my mind is the only thing I need to beat him. He also declined this invitation.


Now lets talk about chat. I have volunteered to help SwC clean up their chat/culture because their new rules were not being adhered to by many players/chatters who have evolved with SwC over the years.  The chat at SwC, had been very toxic, as there were literally no rules for chatting for 8 years.  This involved many players/chatters logging in every day to SwC to abuse other players with often time racist and homophobic remarks and a lot of abuse. This culture, may have formed a tight nit bond with a few players, but pushed a lot of new players away over the years and made it so it was tough for people to rec the site to their friends, knowing they would be exposed to extreme abuse.

Having been playing on and off on the site since very first month in existence, I had seen the evolution of the site and culture, and had always felt that this aspect of the site needed to change to be able to grow.  So when I saw an opportunity to help for a short amount of time to evolve the culture in a positive direction, I offered to help. I saw someone say that SwC shows me emails, that is not true, I discuss with them why players were muted when the player emails in, and the screnshot I saw, was from a discord where players who are on board with the changes, send me screenshots of abusive/racist behavoir.

Many players are thrilled with the new direction of SwC, but there are definitely a handful of players, that have deemed it more important to be able to drop racist and homophobic slurs at will then to respect the request and chat rules that SwC has put forth. These players seem to be the most vocal on social media and are distorting the truth in some type of effort to get me 'fired'. I put 'fired' in quotes because I am not paid or compensated at all.

uGot0Chance/SkyReVo lost his chat permanently for advertising another poker site and enticing SwC players to play there.....he made over a dozen of these posts on July 13th, and was permanently muted because of it.  Though poaching players for another site was more then enough to perm mute him, he also chose to be disturbingly abusive towards me, graphically giving me in-depth directions in the lobby chat on how to slit my wrists correctly.


Lastly, if you ever stopped playing on SwC because of the culture, I hope you stop by and check out just how different it has become. I am really proud to be part of the reason why hate speech and abusive behavoir are no longer tolerated on SwC, and although some of the abusers have now found an outlet thru social media, I am looking forward to SwC continuing to strive to be a poker destination for all players.

Thank you for your time,

higherhighs

I am happy to finally get a response but it is too late I am unbanned now so it would make no difference unless you are giving out reparations for those who have suffered an unjust ban.
