Can this be classed as "Discrimination?"

[Workaholic]

Tried creating a new account at Coke Zone to register my coca cola codes and "hopefully" get that football table or even XBOX then, and hopefully before the offer finishes but guess what, it simply wouldn't like me create the account.

Checked the details and tried again, with the screen just showing "check the details", out of my head the name "Dave" popped out so I changed it from a non-common name (fully English characters though to Dave) and lol and behold it works.

Now I'm guessing that the data entry must cross-reference against a database/dictionary, but not allowing me to create an account with my own name for whatever reasons is surely "discrimination?! right?"

Argh should have stuck in a poll of "yes" and "no" for those short replies, mods help please?

Done.

[Workaholic]

Done.

Cheers Nick, now I see you've not polled yet....

Try telling that to people who live in Scunthorpe.
