What a load....

[Hwilensky]

So after 2.5 years of running the same team name...over and over and over again....your going to tell me that it violates policy....are you kidding me? Who has their panties twisted....Since we know that this company is tiny as hell...maybe the person checking names should be working on better things...

come from user complaints.

your team name was "combinators suck", and you really think that's a fair one to have?

OOTP banned me during Covid (OOTP 21) for the satirical team:

"TrumpBidens"

It came out of nowhere after playing for 3+ months.

In this case it did not help that his team name came up as the last entry of the Iron PTCS when we crosschecked them against the standings

Yes, but I have had this team name for 2.5 years, since variants were called combinators, been in multiple PTCS with them, have won multiple tournaments with them.....and NOW, it's not ok...C'mon....Really? Suck is such a bad word? You can say it on the radio, you can say it on broadcast television, and you can have it printed in the newspaper...but in OOTP, it is a forbidden word? The FCC, say its not a forbidden word, yet OOTP does? That is bush league, if you ask me..

The game company is located in Germany, and they don't have the legal protection for free speech that we have in the US.

I've always assumed that was the reason for my infrequent run-ins with 'management.

Thats not how free speech works. The game company isn't the government.

Exactly! Also, their freedon of speech is similar to ours, some would point out it might be better, at the end of the day it would be legal in both countries.

Anyway, to whomever is responsible...thank you for allowing the name.

I take that back...you are a real POS for hindering my legal freedom of speech, where it is not even a considered a curse word...

[cwhitman]

actually, the terms of service that you signed up for said that OOTP has the authority to determine what names are "potentially controversial", "even if statements are not inappropriate in and out of themselves"

stop being a child. your team name is you obviously trying to complain and get attention. you're being such a baby for the old person you are.

For God's sake, act like an adult. This is OOTP's game, forum and property. We are guests and that's it. If you act like this in someone's house, you get tossed out. It's no different in this case.

Agree but let's not go into the Boomer thing. OOTP math/spreadsheets more effective at avoiding Alzheimer's than 3 Rx pills/day.

Played The Faery Tale Adventure on Amiga 500 in my 30s.Setup right next to our Sears TV. Wife (now of 40+ years) was pissed most of the time.

Cwhit, you have your nose so far up their butt, that if they farted, you would call it aromatherapy.

That being said, it has nothing to do with being a bay or showing my age. I have had that name for over 2 years, and no one said boo about it...now all of a sudden, it's taken away because why? I showed up last on the PTCS qualification list. What about all the other months I have qualified, or the Saturday Iron Warriors that I won. It's not fair, thats all. But youre right, I will change my name..

just because you weren't caught doesn't mean it wasn't wrong, lol.
