They said they forwarded it on, so we'll see what happens. I just hate this waiting; I want to speak directly with someone who will handle the problem.
It's not small and stupid to punish those who don't follow the rules. You violated the terms and conditions of the program, and now that you were caught, you want them to look the other way and change the accounts, allowing you to get away with it with no punishment?

As far as changing the name on one to your child, you do realize they have to be at least 13 to have an account, correct? Or is that another rule you want them to allow you to break?

One line of code will allow them to check both names and addresses? Why does it have to be their responsibility to keep people from breaking the rules? What happened to personal responsibility and being responsible for following the rules?
