    [​IMG] I had to open this as thread.
    If it was only a lil' mail - Tal wouldn't bother to read it.

    So, I politely ask the community to support me in this request:

    Tal, please, forbid registering ONE LETTER nicks.

    [​IMG] May I ask, why? One letter nicks are in no way offensive, and very easy to type in when you have to post. More, there has been only one precedent to it, as kevlar pointed out (am I wrong? correct me). Forbid them just because you think they should be banned? Well, not for me to decide, but 1-letter nicks are way better than NiCkS LiKe ThAt, or just CAPITALIZED nicks.

    edit: Pardon me for that misuse of the word 'ban'. :mad: You still did not explain - Why? And you will not give a single sensible point. Because there are none.

    [​IMG] Did I say "ban" anywhere? :shame:
    Just "forbid".

    That means no one-letter nicks in future.

    And I don't care if user puts any combo of symbols as nick. As long as it is not one-letter.

    One letter or number sais nothing... I think this is a good idea, and other thinks should also be forbidden, for example a nick like fjghgjhhjdhj. It's just so useless. In my opinion, a name should also say something about the poster.

    Alright, if so... Some of this might be applicable, but only in case we here are being ovewhelmed by 1-letter nicks. For now, we have 2 (okay, okay). So what is the reason to even start this topic?

    edit: People come and go. See if this one stays...

    [​IMG] LMAO. Good point. So only 24 left.

    Seriously, I don't think this is a problem big enough that it would need fixing. If the posts from a person with the username Q or X or Y for all I care are ok, I have no problems with them. If they don't feel they look silly, that's their problem. They can change the usernames at any time anyway.

    A single letter nick is a nick just as good as any other.

    [​IMG] We can't really plame H if he likes pansy bands like steps now can we? I mean its up to him if he idolizes that pansy bloke H from steps. So come, let him roam the place freely showing his pansyness :D

    Of course, only a dimwit would see this as an insult instead of a joke. :evil:
