supernova_00 Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 How come on msn you cant change your display name to anything with these words in it? f*ck, b*tch, c*nt, wh*re, penis, vagina, but you can put c*ck, sh*t, d*ck and some others? This is the message i get when i try with one of these words. "The display name you chose was invalid. Please choose another display name and try again."

Tai Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 yeah i tried it.. and I think I've seen this question on the boards before...anywayz... there must be some decency thingy in the messenger somewhere... so that a nice person at msn can censor our choice of nicks :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernova_00 Posted April 28, 2002 Author Share Posted April 28, 2002 Originally posted by Fonze what if ur first name is D*ck... Exactly or something they shouldnt be able to censor your nick i would understand if it was on neowin where people can see your nick but not your display name on msn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tai Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 is it true there is a program that lets u indentify if someone is online.. even if they have u 'blocked' in their list ? :ponder: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 those are blocked words for some reason msn just prohibits these words they have a word list the way to bypass it easily is just to a space in between a letter not too hard... so yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWZ Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 I personally really hate how people change their name to something long... Why cant you keep to one name? Like I'm on ICQ and MSN as "DWZ". Why cant you pick a screen name, and keep to it? I mean, I have a fairly short list on people on MSN (because its so crap compared to ICQ, i only use it because there are some idiots who just don't understand the power of ICQ) and a lot of them use names like: !!!!Go Pies!!!! (b)Beer - Give your brain the night off(b) And this one time, at band camp.... AUGH, SHUT THE HELL UP! Cheese, ya, Mad yo y'all IBM laptops best use r as doormats augh! i hate it... and what makes it worse is I can't "rename" a user like in ICQ to something that I will remember them by...

Dazzla Veteran Posted April 28, 2002 Veteran Share Posted April 28, 2002 I think if you click "change" it takes you to the options where you can change the way the messages appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
