Name change
Just to let you all know Sky in their narrow minded thinking have sent poor old wayne cure to the trash bin, without any consulation they have renamed me waynec! Can I point out I have never been or ever wanted to be a member of the Spice Girls or any other pop band so why the blink would I want to be called WayneC. The stress and the trauma of this dasterdly deed is overwhelming, I now have the shame of sitting at the tables with the name of waynec... yuk!
I now intend to ask sky to let me change my name to something different, any suggestions guys so here is your chance to rub salt in this very raw wound.
Yours
WC

No That name suits you Dont change it sky hehe
All you have to do is go to "find a player", type in a swear word or phrase, and there are hundreds of much worse names!
some starting with the C word or F word.
Maybe they should clean those up before making you change yours!!

This thread shows that the members of this site have a a V.G.S.H unlike the the people whom run this site and forum, I have never had one comment of offence from any member because the conitation as to any sexual reference is so obscure you have to be either a nun or very petty minded to be offended. No doubt my comments will earn me a forum ban I suspect even though our forefathers fought and died so we could have the freedom of speech.
Oh! by the way my real name is Mr Hunt but you are more than welcome to call me by my first name Isaac!
R.I.P waynecure
I happen to know "waynce", having driven 400 odd miles to help support a very worthy cause he was raising money for, & he is a lovely chap. We spent some "off-record" time together, so I was a little surprised he described me & my colleagues in the manner he did, as he knows me better than that.
What a result last night, for Sue & Dave! I'm off to find the thread, as at least that'll be a nice warm thread!
But I do know that in a previous such example (different player), the player was asked to change his alias, & came up with a similar (but far worse) new alias! He did that three times in a row, & eventually a new name was imposed upon him. By then, a whole bunch of time had been wasted on the matter.
You might equally argue why a less inappropriate name could not have been chosen in the first place?
If the name is deemed improper, it is the right of the Site to change it. And if I did not want the site to mess with my screen alias, then I'd pick one that was compliant. These things cut both ways!
Until a while back, several of us on 865, me in particular, regularly made "leading comments" when a flop of 4-K-4 fell on a Televised hand. Then, the Channel Policy was tightened, & we have subsequently refrained. After the recent Gray/Keys thing, all the on-screen 865 peeps were reminded in no uncertain terms - "watch yourself, be careful, STAY ON MESSAGE".
It's just the rules of Sky Poker, Channel 865, Sky Sports, &, to be fair, society in general. Not everyone enjoys that sort of thing, & just because they don't enjoy it, does not necessarily make them "petty-minded". I accept those Rules, though I have a clear choice. Accept them, or not be part of the Site.
Quite an eye-opener, this thread!
It's how life is these days. People argue for greater freedom, to say what they like, push the boundaries ever further, but as soon as someone on TV steps over the line, the "knocking-mob" & the Media - including those who promote a more liberal approach - whip up a storm & the person has to be dismissed.
The older I get, the less I understand how people square all these peculiar oddities.
If I come round to your house, I have to respect the rules there - be it no-smoking, no swearing, no bad language, or whatever. And the "trouble" is, TV goes into lots of people's houses, so the decency threshold has to be set quite high.
I don't swear that much off-screen, but I do swear, of course I do. But if I did it on TV, I'd be snap-sacked. Them's the Rules, & I can have no argument with that, & I don't.
I do not believe the correlation you have attempted to make would occur to anyone. It needs a certain sort of mind to make that connection, & I'm delighted to say very few would have the peculiar leap of imagination necessary.
