Re: Offensive Screen Names
I think the spirit of good ethics, the poker sites don't want offensive words being used, that truly upset people and are widely excepted as offensive. One example would be " Ihavethebloodynuts", this would probably not be offensive to a great majority of poker players On the other hand "Ihaveabloodycunt" would be offensive to a majority of poker players. I mean if "adolfhitlergassedyourmama" was used, than that would be offensive, where as Adolfhitler, shouldn't be offensive. I personaly don't care what anybody uses, but I can understand why folks would be offended by certian uses of the language. I mean if I see Cornelklink should be offended because he was a Nazi Soldier. I think most sites do a pretty good job in cleaning up reported obsenitites.

Re: Offensive Screen Names
If you don't have the intestinal fortitude to avoid getting offended by someone's screenname then what the hell are you doing playing poker?

Re: Offensive Screen Names
I agree. I think the most offensive word in the dictionary is "offensive".

Re: Offensive Screen Names
ok, youve actually made a good point.
ill still expect a poker site to censor some names. i could care less about four letter words. but if i sat down w/ "BinLaden_was_right" or something ill send an email to support and express that im upset that someone is using the screenname. |
