Brag: FTP Support Said Mother F----r in Email to Me

[Josem]

I've been emailing FTP back and forth about a player's screen name as a consequence of this thread: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...0598&page=

I claimed that it was offensive, and they've claimed that it wasn't. I said that the player's name is an offensive term in Australian slang phrases.

I've obviously dashed out the intervening letters, as the profanity filter would obviously destroy the whole point of this...

Anyway, they send me this email:

Hello Michael,

Thank you for contacting Full Tilt Poker Support.

After further investigation, it has come to our attention that infact the player is not located in your area, therefore, the player id was not meant to be offensive.

Instead, they are referring to a stack of chips in poker. Meaning he bets fast, and throws his chips away.

We would like to apologize for the miscommunication but unfortunately we are unable to request a player id change because it is not directly offensive.

If there is anything else we can help you with Michael, please let us know.

Dear Full Tilt,

In my area, a "Mother F----r" is a term of endearment - a name that
you might call a friend.

Obviously, I understand that some Americans might find it offensive
because it has a different meaning there. However, since I am not
located in an area that would find that term offensive, under your
polilcy, that name would be acceptable?

regards,
Michael

Hello Michael,

Thank you for contacting Full Tilt Poker Support.

Hypothetically, if you were to sign up for a Full Tilt Poker account
under the name "Mother F----r", we would likely request that you choose
an alternate player ID. If, for instance, "Mother F----r" was a
commonly used poker term (as "Stack off" certainly is), we would likely
reconsider such an action.

I hope that explanation helps. If there's anything else we can assist
you with, please let us know.

Kind regards,

He's complaining about the screenname "Stack off". Way to make Michaels everywhere look bad Michael. At least we still have Schneids.

[DopamineRelease]

Who emails support about offensive screen names? WTF, this is why FTP takes 10 days to respond to hacked account emails.
