Didn't one guy on the forum do this and threaten to kill himself if they didn't turn off the doom switch?

I think the banned him and he then had to convince them he was kidding before they would let him back on.

Does anyone else remember this thread?

a doomswitch is when a particular poker site will constantly deal you coolers and bad beats, so many that u cant turn in a winning session.

although from what ive read its only pokerstars and fultilt that have them:p

Lol yes that was FTP the Nutz.
I had to email stars on a separate issue and in closing mentioned I would appreciate if they would turn off my doomswitch, they replied there is no such thing but it may feel like there is blah blah blah.
I was totally kidding but I think they thought I was serious.
So I replied telling them that denying the doomswitch was like denying bigfoot or the lochness monster, they send a same similar no such thing as a doomswitch email.
They must get it alot.

Yeah, I emailed bodog's last night as a joke to see what they would say and they responded within 15 minutes, lol....basically said that they in no way control the cards and that their rng was seeded through random mathematical formulas (or something of the like), etc....I actually responded back letting them know that I was just kidding.

:D

I imagine if I ever said 'doomswitch' in an email to FT they would be like,

"Another one? Ctrl + C prepared letter... Ctrl + V... dumbass..."
