TravisG 0 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 wow, great job guys. GG fornicator! and gg stars. the support there is just supreme. Link to post Share on other sites
BigLebowski 0 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 You know, I'd like to compliment PS for doing the right thing here, but it could have all been avoided had they used a little bit of common sense to start with. They 1) over-reacted to an email from a fellow player, 2) obv didn't look up fornicator in the dictionary, 3) don't realize how many potentially offensive s/n's they have, and 4) wouldn't have changed anything without a bunch of emails sent by fellow players from a respected message board (no matter how poorly written), a message board which happens to be chaired by their poster boy of the moment. Of course they did the right thing by giving it back to you, but the "right thing" would have been to send an appropriate email back to the person that requested it be banned.I will say my personal experience with Stars support has been aces. This is obv an extreme example. Link to post Share on other sites

BellaireDrew 2 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 wtg guys, but i think the people who sent PS emails should now send them an email saying that they appreciate them listening to us. This is one of the resons I play at PS is because support actually listens to their client base. Link to post Share on other sites
fornicator1 0 Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 Yeah, great thread...did you get all your funds back?Yep just got back home and everything looks the same as before. I even got my wsop satty ticket.I think I know who might have sent the email, 'terrigirl' or something like that. The HH should be in my bad beat thread, I dont think she sucked out on me all that bad prob just a standard 3 outer on the river. But it gave her a MONSTER stack in a 440 and she proceeded to donk it off in about 2 orbits. All the while I was still in the tourney, although crippled, and I was discussing with another player about how bad she is. Then when she went busto she called me a bunch of names but I didnt really say much back to her but I guess she was really mad lol. Link to post Share on other sites
fornicator1 0 Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 I cant know for certain but I'd bet good money that this was the hand that started all this. Like I said it was not a major badbeat or anything but the conversation that followed was pretty much laughing at her as she donked off these chips.

finztotheleft 0 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 4Nick_Gatoryou're welcomelol........I like that one Hot damn!!! I just logged in to PS to find as many offensive names as I could so that I could also email PS and demand their accounts be closed. Good work guys!!!Damn Stars and their quick response to this.......I spent hours going through the 7500 screennames in my Stars PT database looking for offensive names. Grrrrrr wtg guys, but i think the people who sent PS emails should now send them an email saying that they appreciate them listening to us. This is one of the resons I play at PS is because support actually listens to their client base.On the whole I agree with you. I've recently had two occassions to call on PS support. One went great; they gave me a bonus that they didn't have to.....it was just an awesome gesture. The other I am extremely disappointed in the way it was handled.....so much so that I've switched sites , for now anyways Link to post Share on other sites

I just read this entire thread, congrats on getting your original name back! oh, and "4Nick_Gator" as an alternate was full of win...Sent an email saying appreciate it, and to disregard my last one as it was too late. PokerStars are great for going back on their decision, so many big companies would not do that.And wow I am not admitting how long it took me to get what 4nick_gator was Link to post Share on other sites
