    My alias offends loads and loads of people on the tables, why, it's simple enough to understand

    It seems really straightforward. The rules are that you can't pick a name that may cause offence, so the name should be changed. The word has been used offensively since I was a kid and I am not that young.

    I am sure civilisation will not end if the player has to change his name to Sammy42, Samba42 or SamBoy42 or whatever.

    Your name is similar to a slang term for a joint (doobie) and could offend too; anyone's name could offend if someone looks hard enough to be offended.

    Threads like this make me despair.
    I think a fair few more people have been offended by someone calling them Sambo than Doooobs, but it is Sky Poker's site and they asked me to change my name on their site because they thought it broke their rules, I really wouldn't give a toss. It just doesn't really matter to me at all and it is their site, not mine.

    I do think it would have been better dealt with by contacting customer care or by using a PM. As an aside how did that 4th one on the anal list get through?

    I know right, you can't have both at the same time.

    Anyone played them? Are they loose or tight, or do they vary depending on what sort of test you're putting them to?

    I played on Party for years as JackKingOff until I decided to have a blast on PartyBingo. My account was suspended faster than a fat kid chasing the ice cream van.
