Let's Ban Users With Long UserNames!

I’m sick of it.

I’m tired of seeing “Mike_who_loves_mathematics,” or whatever the hell name he has, ruining threads by pushing the relevant text too far to the right.

Bastards!

Could easily be accomplished by (a) limiting total name length or (b) allowing a name to be as long as they currently can (255 characters?) but requiring a space after a maximum of, say, every ten characters (allowing for Arnold von Winkelreid, or perhaps The Peyote Coyote might change his name to The Psilocybe Armadillo).

Hmmm…this may be the first thread to be kicked out of the Pit into About This Message Board! :smiley:

I think I may be safe on this one… :slight_smile:

And pray what of Imthecowgodmoo? What should he switch to? Elsie?

No, some things are best left alone.

just to be contrary, I am now…

…Naaaah, why bother?

I think this is gonna need to be a case-by-case basis, the ruling relying heavily on the Don’t be an asshole clause in the TOS agreement.

No, a fixed rule is needed.
I say ban everyone with a username longer than 5 letters.
