Personally I am sick of seeing users with random names. I'm not going to point any out.

examples are:

asdsadsdasddsa

or

21343241142341


Users with names like this should be told that they need to create a new account with an actual name, if they refuse then they should be automatically banned.

I know that sounds harsh, but it makes the site look sloppy. If users cant have a serious name, how can we take them serious as someone whom will actually use this site. Or as someone who will not spam.

Also all it take is for them to forget one letter in their name, and bam, They cant use their account anyway.

Something needs to be done.

I think it's ok to me. If people only used serious names, eventually new names will run out. It doesn't pose to be a problem with me.

So you find no problem what so ever with people hitting random letters on their keyboard to make a user name?

They lose my respect automatically.

And do names ever run out in real life or do people name their kids "Laittiggitygoogoodingdong"

I know a couple of people with a string of character for a name. One guy who was once very active, I think he quite, made me an awsome sig. I'll show it to you.

Made by Jwalshjr. Name doesn't mean anything but he wasn't a spammer was, he was really nice and talented.

@ the thing about names running out in real life, you can have more than one Alex. On a site, your only aloud 1 person to be named Alex, 1 Carlie, 1 firetail-madness. That's why names run out here but not in the real world.

Yah. Catchy names are fun. But some people aren't really creative. I could care less about what people want to call them selves. As long as they don't spam, what does it matter what their name is?

Jwalshjr, thats not what I mean. I mean like 3333333333333 or fffffffffffffff

As long as it consists of actual words, I could care less. But things like that make me want to punch my monitor.

Then your lucky. Because if you couldn't stand them you would log off every time you see something like that.

jwalshjr is just a random combination of letters. Exactly like laittggitygoogoodingdong but just shorter.

Members are free to choose whatever name they like, as long as it is appropriate and follows the rules of Armor Games. Such names do not break such rules. It doesn't matter if they look 'sloppy'. People are free to choose their own usernames.

it's bad to judge someone according his name. that's point of senseless and some kind of prejudice against someone... nah, you don't really know the person behind the name, so don't judge him according his name!

I agree with Carlie. Everyone has their own freedom to do whatever they want.

Umm, I am pretty sure that actually refers to a name. Like J. Walsh Jr. Or at least that is what I thought. But regardless, even if it was random letters, who the heck cares??

Ah ok. The point is it could have been random, and he would still have been a good person.

Off Topic, do you know if he quite, cause he never seems online.
