Nickname conflict on PokerOK: a trademark application sparked discussion on GipsyTeam
A strange dispute has broken out on the GipsyTeam forum: one of the users is demanding that a poker player on PokerOK change his identical nickname Avaros. The author of the statement immediately stressed that he has nothing to do with the poker activity of that account and disclaims in advance any responsibility for possible debts or piece swaps by the owner of the nickname.
The community greeted the thread with irony. In the comments, people started asking whether he had an official trademark, posting joke appeals to Eminem's management on behalf of a poker player with the nickname EM1NEM, and joking that the man is being judged before he has even committed any fraud. Skeptics also noted that the Spanish word "avaros" translates as "greedy," so claiming it without documents is simply impossible.
In the end, the brand-protection story turned into a pretext for some light trolling on the forum.
