a guy named cancer69[CLOSED]ES

I understand money talks but could any mod just friendly ask him to change his name?

Not even going to write a long long story, this is just sad.

What do you have against horoscopes?

69 is the astrological sign of cancer, btw.

if you find a name offensive or think it needs to be changed, you either file an e-ticket or you start a thread in the C&A. you generally don't spam up the GD with this sort of thing... however, with your being new around here, i can understand how you might be confused as to where to have this sort of thing dealt with... *cough*...-the black jesus

p.s.-natty is correct, by the way...

Its also a sex position and a number or maybe he/she beat cancer in 1969.

EDIT: Occupation says Moodiness so I'm guessing female and not a sexual reference to 69 :lol:

No matter which way you cut it, I doubt this is an offensive name that will have to be revoked/edited. Anywho, moving to C&A for the meantime. They'll give you an official decision.

Thanks, it's just that if this was a dutch forum, the guy would be kicked of the site , no money returned. Ask a dutch moderator.

I don't know how it is used in 'english'.
But if it is a global site then better look into it.

Thanks

I'm honestly curious...why? Because of the reference to "cancer" or the reference to "69"?

It seems to me that we've seen a lot more offensive names than this one not be removed.

this is not a global site it is a English site. now if this is offense I'd guess you can be posting it into the dutch forum but on the main for or a user name it should be fine as in English it is not offensive

I don't see this name as being offensive. Like some of the others have pointed out it can have many meanings. going to mark this CLOSED.
