The case for Mark444

[JAMESCORK]

Do bear in mind a few points though...

1) The case would have to be very clear cut and the reason must be petty damn good; what's not to stop anybody claiming that they have a major concern just for the sake of changing their name?

2) If we did decide for a particular reason that we would allow this, surely a) someone would wonder why that person has has their name changed and would probably start a thread about it, inevitably exposing the person protected anyway; b) this would be apparent because we would have to ban the initial username because if we didn't, people would either pick up on the fact that the user has two accounts open. Even if that person promises to not post from the first account someone would notice a lack of activity anyway. If we did ban it, people would start throwing up 'why was he banned?' threads.

3) People would feel that E-I would have a certain obligation to protect the new identity, which of course we don't.

4) Simply saying that 'the wife found out' or something similar isn't a good enough reason to change a username; firstly, a poster should have the common sense to stay anonymous; it's the nature of the business and as the T's and C's state, we are not responsible for what third parties post. The people that have claimed that they have a security issue are still posting like wild-fire anyway, so I don't get that.

5) Not wanting to be on the top reviewer's list isn't a good enough reason to want to change username. We don't allow people to review under multiple ID's for obvious reasons.

I would have thought that “the wife finding out” to be the most extenuating circumstance for me personally, and I hope that if I were to put my case forward sufficiently in private PM that my request would be seriously examined and a common ground be met. At least now we can be assured that cases will be heard…

Fair play…

I would have thought if the wife had found out, keep a low profile. We can always temporarly ban the account until the heat dies down anyway.

In fairness if the wife had found out the goose is already cooked. It’s more relevant perhaps the scenario that the wife MAY find out, due to some unscrupulous individuals threats or my stupidity even. It is mostly at times like this, that this discovery may be avoided, that EIs help may be required. Keeping a low profile on an existing blatant profile may not always be a solution.

But I think we still understand each other..

Lets get back to the fun….lol.

Surely, if someones wife found out about them straying from the righteous path, their E-I profile would be the least of their worries.
