Title: Not trying to cause a fuss, but...
Post by: bsdaddict on June 06, 2007, 11:19:51 AM
what's so offensive about my in-game handle, "JockItch", that I'm being forced to change it?  Every comment I've received regarding my choice of name has been positive, it's funny not offensive.

If you have to ask, no reply will suit.

jebus, hitech himself even laughed the first time he noticed me in game...  

whatever, I'm sure there's nothing I can do about it, this is just ridiculous.  I've had that handle for over a year and NOW it's inappropriate?

I laughed the first time I saw it to. Plenty of other names that I dislike over that one.

jockitch is just slang for football players.


I dunno man, methinks HTC is about to go supper cop on us.
Try not to b17ch to much, and roll with it.

Life is such, and only time will tell what the powers that be have planed.

it wouldn't have phased me one bit if that name had been flagged when I first started using it, over a year ago.  I'm just bothered by that fact that it seemed alright back then but now it's "inappropriate".  would "pneumonia" be inappropriate?  "cancer"?  "JockItch" isn't R rated or vulgar, I'm confused...

That's life.  It ain't fair.  Just pick a new one and move on.

I had a really nice BBS signature that I had worked up over the years and was really proud of it.   Had it for a while.  Then all of a sudden it got edited by a mod, totally deleted it with no warning of anykind.  

Pick a new one and move on.

This is the first time I've heard of someone being so attached to jock itch.

HAW HAW!

not quite the same.  nobody knows you in game by your bb sig.  prolly only 10% of AHers even read this board anyway.    however, what little of a reptutation I may have in game is tied to that name.  it's like I'd be starting all over again.  not the same at all.

I kinda see the connection, but that post refers to a name that sounds like a vulgar word, most likely intentionally.  "JockItch" isn't a vulgarity, no more so than "sunburn" would be.

Wasn't supposed to be a direct comparison.  I was just as proud of that sig as you are of your ingame ID.  My point was to butch up, be a man, get over it, pick a new one and move on.  But, if you want to continue to whine like a little girl, don't let me stop you.

Is it possible there is a significante number of parents providing "thier credit card" to HiTech to pay for "thier underage children" to play in our sometimes rather VULGAR and booze enhanced environment. It may be possible he is being a good business man rather than the head master to a delinquent overage boys club? After all, none of us have to answer the private phone in Texas and listen to the irate bill paying parents who might be listening to or looking at the monitor of their under aged progeny while one of us cuts loose with few colorfull lines on country.

Internet services are about paying customer perception and reaction as is all advertising. A poor customer perception of a service such as this game will be spoken about loudly as a venue of negative passive advertisement. I doubt most of us worry about the future of this game beyond our own $14.95 and the personal itch it scratches. I suspect HiTech has to worry years in advance about the perception of this game to keep it alive for us and our children.

good to know yer too chicken to put it in your sig, like most will.   One shades down.

I get all that, my gripe was that considering the word "jockitch" vulgar or offensive was going too far.  Diablo, how'd you like it if some holy-roller took offense to your name and caused a fuss?  oh, and how 'bout airSCREW?  "dik" I understand, you can't say that name and not have it sound like you're saying another word, but at some point you've gotta say forget that PC B.S., deal with it.

anyway, it's a moot issue now...

I honestly offer my condolences about your ID. Consider the fact of the very unique artifact that we are part of and the amount of effort HiTech puts in to keeping it alive for us..................:)

I'm certainly not trying to hide anything.  It WAS in my sig for probably the first 6 months I was here.  then I added a founding father quote (different from the one I have now, was 2nd ammendment quote by G. Washington) and shortly after my sig was deleted for being too many lines.  I understood that decision, as the rules were clearly stated so I didn't make a peep and simply remade my sig.

speaking of...  how'd you get your sig to show up in smaller text?  could be useful...

Anyone ordering you you change your in-game ID is a victim of supreme idiocy.

I have seen TEN TIMES WORSE ID's in the game and scratched my head as to how they got them in the first place.

(Not going to mention them due to forum rules).

Just like the characteristics of text in a post you can use the size option to control text size.
Use [ and ] instead of ( and ) in this example.
(size=1)makes text small(/size)
makes text small
