This question crossed my mind the other day, so like any good Doper, I did a Boardreader search to see if this has been discussed before. It hasn’t, although I didn’t paw through all 2,000+ results to find out. So my question: If someone registered on the board with the name of someone who’s been banned (like Satan or BZ0000) would that person be allowed to use that name or would they be asked to change it?
(Disclaimer: I am not thinking about changing my name to a banned posters name, nor am I advocating that anyone sign up with a banned poster’s name. This is just a simple question that was on my mind.)
