NOW I have figured out why I was DOOMSWITCHED at Party!

[Dan BRIGHT]

So I didnt check my yahoo mail account since like july 1st, and I checked it today so I could write party poker and ask them to turn off the doomswitch. This is what I find:



(this first email is dated july 7th. Also, I didnt contact them lol)

Apparently "AvgSizedPenis" is an offensive screen name, despite the fact that it is merely a part of the human anatomy. Whatever. Heres the email I just sent them back:


Hello Party Poker,



It has come to my attention through the medium of email that certain anonymous individuals wish me to change my screen name from "AvgSizedPenis" to something less offensive. While I do not consider naming and sizing a part of the human anatomy to be offensive, I can understand how certain individuals might consider it to be of such poor moral fiber.



I do not often check my email, so this email got sort of, how can you say, "lost in the mail", which is the reason that I was so tardy in responding to your query. However, recently IT all made sense. Everything suddenly "clicked" - it came together. The reason that you, Party Poker, have doomswitched me since July is because of my offensive screen name. I accept this fact, yet I do not hold it against you. There shall be no malice in my heart should you proceed about the matter honorably and justly.



Here is what I propose: I change my screen name to something that does not include a genetalia in exchange for you, Party Poker, to turn OFF the doomswitch (aka -$$$) and turn ON the boomswitch (aka +$$$).





I am unable to change my screen name manually in my party account due to the 1 screen name per every 6 months limitation that is imposed upon myself and all other players. You, Party Poker, suggested that I give 3 possibilities for my new screen name, and then you pick one for me. I find that to be very palatable.



Here are my three suggestions:





moistlips55

1sux4bux

nohimbelowhim

What is the success rate of emailing poker sites regarding the obv doomswitchery? I'm thinking about doing it.

my respect for you has skyrocketed

[Cumulonimbus]

I'm 0 for 1.

[ski]

hahahahahahaha.

Your suggestions are great. Also I play with you all the time.

I was thinking about doing this,

creating an offesive SN, but not blatently offensive, so that it won't get shut down for a few weeks. Then just cycle through mildly offenseive names every few weeks. Good idea? I just don't ever want my account to get locked and have to deal with their incompetant support any more than I have to.

Also I hope to God they pick "1sux4bux"

Honestly, I lost my ass after I refused to change my name as well.
