have you ever sign up to a poker site and you cant use your poker name ???

Yep, but it was because after making my screen name, <[[[[[<, which by the way the site accepted, i couldn't log in to my account, because the log in page won't accept symbols lol. The site let me change it to a regular name, without any hassle {hard to believe} they usually won't let you change your name without it almost being a life or death situation. Only other time you may not get to use your name, is because it's already in use by someone else.

I know that sometimes if a screen name offends someone and they complain, the site will force the person to change the name.

Or if you have an account on another skin of the same network, you have to have a different name for each.

Not really, my name is always available unless I have another account with the same name.

^^^ This is the most likely reason

If that happen,then you should not be using letters that are not in English language and ay cause you this issue. I would recommend having same poker name(screen mane) on all pokersites you play so it makes it easier for you.For example..i have used different name on PS and on PP and I have tried to log in but i mixed them and therefore i missed one tournament. Hope that wont happen to others

I would like if someone reported my nick on stars so i could change it

yes, one time I had to add a 02 to my name because it was taken. Was kinda bummed about it but grew to like it
