and can I ever get this account back with a nick change?
Somebody please help me,their forum's help is not helpfull.Does anyone know how I can change my handle over there?

Onceler, the name is not copyrighted. Modeps was just having some fun. You don't need to change your name.

If you're having problems with your Playstation forum account, your best bet is to PM one of the mods over there and ask them about it. There's not much of anything the ATCG forum can do about what the Playstation forum does.

From the Playstation Forum New User Guide

Dispute a Ban
If you would like to dispute a ban please email psxboards@lithium.com. When emailing this address, please provide us with your message board handle, your email address you used to sign up and wherever possible leave the attitude out of the email. Verbally abusing the staff because you were banned won't get you anywhere, in fact it will probably get your ban extended. We're far more likely to listen if you're polite and courteous. Note that we respect the privacy of those banned. We do not discuss the bans of forum members with the general public.

You are way more helpful than I am. I figured people would have picked up on the Kaz reference right away. It was indeed a joke and therefore, I do not apologize.
;)

Emmanuel Lewis (born March 9, 1971 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American actor. He is best known for his title role in the 1980s television sitcom Webster. He is 4'3" (1.30 m), which qualifies him as the most awesomest man in American History because of his excellent work in Cold Fusion and the Chaos Theory. Lewis graduated from Clark Atlanta University in 1997. He is often compared with Gary Coleman, star of Diff'rent Strokes. He currently resides in Fayette County, GA.

I see nothing wrong with this article, and since it is from a such a trusted source as Wikipedia, I will be sure to cite it on my next thesis paper on Emmanuel Lewis.

Heh. Yeah, I knew it was a joke. I'm just shocked at the number of people that fell for it. :)

I guess you could say I played them all like a fiddle.

As you can tell nowhere did I use foul language or anything like that

From Kaz:
The reason the user was banned was due to his handle being attributed to a copyrighted character in Dr Seuss books.

WTF, names are not copyrighted, they're trademarked, and I highly doubt Dr. Seuss trademarked the names of his characters. And even if it was, I don't think the OP's use would be infringement. What a lame reason to ban someone.

Yes, it's almost like Modeps completely made up that response from Kaz Hirai, current President and Group Chief Executive Officer of Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc.

:eek: The hell I'm supposed to know who Kaz is? I figured he was a mod over there. :p

I think that this is a feature that should have implemented by now I cannot believe the total lack of interest in this feature that everyone seems to have.
The PS3 has the hardware for remembering hundreds of movies!
