To whom it may concern,

When I signed up, something might have happened and my username missed an "r" by the end. It should be "HeartsOnRiver".

Could you please change it for me?
Thank you.

Easiest would be for you to register with the extra "r" ... then just stop using the first one.

That would violate the "multiple accounts" rules. I'd suggest a PM to J.B.

It can't be changed. I've asked.

Since you have very little history, you might as well just logout, and start over.

And tell JB or the Wiz what you did. They can disable the other account so you don't violate the multiple accounts rule.

If he abandons the first account, does he still have 'multiple accounts'? I say no, not that my say counts for anything. :-)

I think that rule intent is to not have multiple 'active' accounts.

It would be neither multiple active accounts nor would it be in any way deceptive which is the true intent of the rule against multiple accounts: deceptive dialogs actually authored by one person. Ain't nobody gonna be deceived by that final "r".

So, you are not the secret administrator, eh? :-)


I go along with re-register and resign. Wiz is a benevolant king here, I'm sure he would forgive an honest "fat-finger" error since the perp allocuted already. :-)

I am an acknowledged Place/Buy (egads) craps player, who also happens to play Pass and random Come bets. But, as I will not renounce my foolish Place ways, I am obviously too dense and can not be trusted. ;-)

This is absolutely not a dart aimed at the Wiz or JB. I am just poking fun at some uptight members who can't imagine any craps play except PL and CB only.

Whoa!

I've asked Mike (I think more than once) if I could change my user name to my real name: Dave Miller.

He told me it can't be done.

For one thing, such a change would screw things up because any posts tht have quotes from me will still have [q=DJTeddyBear]. But is THAT why he told me it can't be done?

For the record, once he pointed that out, the desire to change my user name has been greately reduced, but not entirely gone.

Don't sell yourself short.

I happen to know of one adminiatrator who play craps and not only makes place bets, but he plays the -gasp- FireBet!

You could put Dave Miller in your signature. I did something similar for a while after losing my original name through an unknown glitch.

The request in this thread was a typo correction from a new member, as opposed to a complete name change from an established member.

Well, I was thinking of changing "FleaStiff" to "George", a term equally recognizable to a craps crew, but I trust everyone still gets a chuckle from time to time with the name Fleastiff.

Thank you JB. :)

Uhm, to other posters on the thread: I know that I can just abandon this account and create a new one but I used to manage other forums (non-gaming) so I know it's possible to change the name of the account, especially a new member. And multiple accounts --> multiple identities --> violate forum rules --> buh-bye. LOL
