Screen Name Change

Hi

I think I may have asked this before but I'm not sure.

I really, really hate my screen name on Sky. I created it 9 years ago and as I've never been a regular player on Sky, I've put up with my awful choice but now I'm playing much more on the site, I am making an impassioned plea to the powers that be to let me change it please.

I'm not confident that my request can, or will be granted because of the precedent it will set but with the recent trend of many sites starting to allow occasional or even regular screen name changes, I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Thanks for reading

The--Don (wants to rename to RegiTime :p )

    Ah, a player made in my own image!

    It's good to be in similar company :)

    The Business would not allow it, Mr Don.

    There are one or two exceptional circumstances where they would allow it (obscene aliases, for example) but not in this case.

    Yep, I thought that would be the case.

    No harm is asking though. Cheers for the response.

    I suggest using the term "the--don" in a derogatory fashion as often as possible, also create an obscene urban dictionary meaning for it, and bandy it about as freely as you can.

    some sites will allow you to change your screen name if it contains part of your real name and therefore could mean you arent gambling anonymously.

    so if your name is donald you may have a shot.

    change it by deed poll to 'the donald' just to be sure.

    what about if it contains your whole name?

    you might be in with a shout MattBates, if that is your real name

    What happened to EMS? It used to be a very lively place, but last time I looked it was even quieter than THM.

    Tough to keep poker forums going these days.

    Good morning Mr Moorman.
    I would consider it a huge honour if you could spare the time, to participate in the £2.20 @2.20 deepstack.
    All the best.

    I may be of help here...in Yorkshire "the don" is I fact an obscene term.
    It means...well let's just say sheep are involved,so if it helps I could complain to the suits and demand a name change?

    P.s..scott77 is a swearword in my house!
