A litlle while ago we had a problem with people using swear words for their user names despite the profanities filter going into over-drive on everything else. We now have "***" posting and don't really think that this is appropriate either - is there no filter for user names?
Becks think your self lucky i could have called my self "norfolk and hope" don't worry theres norfolk and hope of that.Lets see if that gets through the filter!
For the avoidance of doubt:
pinus has been part of my various email addresses for ever. The streets round here are all named after trees, and my tree is Pine - in Latin pinus
It was only after I had set up my first email account that it occurred to me that I might be misunderstood.
I've only just realised that the bloke from the gardening progs is Titchmarsh, but it still means that Mr Titmarsh from the local dry cleaners can register now!
You see - that was edited, but the user name isn't. Anyway, it begins with W, has an O in the middle & ends with G! So as I say, how does he/she do it?
I think this site needs a total new rethink on all sorts of things. It seems a bit amateur in lots of ways. Crisis management springs to mind. It's a great site with nice people, but lots of problems need ironing out.
