    Ordinarily, no, it's not allowed.

    If you have any concerns in this area, please let CC know.

    So are we allowed to change it then?

    Cash reg has changed it because he didn't like it.

    Are the player notes pulled across, or are they lost?

    Guys, 

    See my previous reply.

    Am not in a position to get any answers from the office tonight, as you know, but will send the thread up for them to see.

    Will close the thread for now before the software implodes form an overload of multiple punctuation marks. It will be re-opened in the morning.

    Good morning.

    Some sort of misunderstanding arose here & an alias was changed in error.

    It should not have happened, apologies.

    The account has now reverted to it's original alias.

    For the avoidance of doubt, screen-names/aliases CANNOT BE CHANGED ordinarily. As we all know, of course.

    Not because people have got nothing better to do than complain about trivial things, 
    I asked for it changed because I hate it, people asked if it was this screen name and I was honest. Sad that certain players/ people have to look at things so cynically and accuse me of doing it to gain an 'edge'. I find it quite sad really that people can be so bitter and have nothing better to do than be spiteful towards others for the sake of it

    Neither The Business or I are suggesting you did it for ulterior means, though I can't speak for what other players may think. They can't really be blamed for being suspicious of the reasons.

    It is not, however, a "trivial thing", as other, less scrupulous sorts, would certainly try to do it for all the wrong reasons. 

    I don't blame the other players for complaining either, though it could have been handled quickly, quietly, no drama or fuss if someone had sent me a PM or contacted CC.

    Anyway, it's sorted now, let's move on. 

    PS - Think you & I met in Punta Cana in 2015? Extremely good-looking fella, right?

    No because when asked if you was pokerkinga you denied it. You knew it was giving you an edge even if it was just for a week or two. 

    I asked quite a few people and they all wasn't sure if you was a new player or not.

    Why should you be the only one who gets to change their alias? I know quite a few people who would like to change theirs but can't because it would be crazy to let everyone change their alias you wouldn't know who was who after months/years of building reads on your opponents.

    Slagg me off all you want calling me a "sad loser" .. etc not really that bothered.

    I can't really comment on any of that except the emboldened part.
     
    For clarity, screen-names/aliases CANNOT BE CHANGED.

    This should not have been allowed to happen, but it was, in error.

    It's been sorted now, & I don't think we need to have a ruck about it at this stage.

    Apologies for the error.

    Sorry maybe I could have worded better, post wasn't directed at you personally or sky, whole situation has just irritated me, it wouldn't have bothered me if another players screen name had changed 
    even if someone was playing under a different name, it's not to hard to work out their general playing style once you played a few hands , and I'm sure notes would have carried across 


    Yes we met in punta Cana enjoyed it was great experience, not sure about good looking part :) ha

    No worries, I was addressing it generally.

    You are a most unusual poker player if changed aliases don't bother you - it's a fundamental & would upset most that I know of.

    Good looking? I was talking about me, not you......;)
