Athlete Imposters at the 'Chair - What Can We Do?

Posted by Anonymous Fanatic
667 days ago


Hey All,

It has been brought to my attention that since EliManning was created 2 days ago, a new user, Tom Brady has been created. I don't know if they are the real quarterbacks or not, but if I was a betting man (and I'm am) I would guess that these are imposters. Posing as an athlete is the same as fraud and shouldn't be tolerated by the community.

Is there a way to block out athletes names so that they can't be used as usernames? Who knows, we may pull a Yardbarker and get a few atheletes to blog here, and in that case it would be good to have the blocked names for the athletes to use. Does anyone else have any thought or contributions on this issue?

LASB

I wouldn't of made anything out of it, but Tom Brady has already made a comment as if he was the Real Tom Brady, and that has to be defermation of image or something

or Madden and McCarver getting ready for bed:

Madden: Now when I put on my PJs, I do it one leg at a time so that I don't fall over. First the right then the left, and then BOOM I pull them up.

McCarver: Put John you can't pull them up if your drawstring is tied, make sure your drawstring is untied before trying to pull up your PJs. Now, Bill Cosby - what would you do before bed?

Bill Cosby: Welllllll FIRST. I make sure to brush my gem gab gums with pudding flavored toothpaste, THEN I walkinto the bedroom and grab my wife and I'm a touching and a touching...

If it is, and we get into trouble, ban him for life.

I'm betting that one or both of them are Jamel. "Tom Brady's" comment sounded just like Jamel.

Eh, I'm surprised it took this long for someone to come up with the "witty" idea of portraying themselves as an athlete. I say it's no big deal...

I think for now it could be a pretty funny addition to the site, but obviously if they make trouble then they need to be banned. For now though, I don't see a problem if it's done in good taste.

Not a computer geek, but I'm sure there are a few around here. It can't be that difficult for the admins to lock out those names, can it? Just a pain in the a$$ for them.
