You can tell who the spammers and flamers will be just by their names? It seems like on every site I join, they have names that you can't pronounce and have a couple x's in front. The people with normal names though (Normal, like Green12324...wait, that's awesome. Not normal.) anyway, the people with normal names usually are...well...normal. Ever noticed that?
Maybe I should make a new account named xXxXxGreen12324xXxXx and then when I spam my own profile (they like to do that) no one will know who I am. Alright, I'm done being random. Your thoughts on the issue?
I think, is because it shows how immature they may be.
Ya, and they don't feel like thinking. It's a lot harder to come up with a good name than put a whole bunch of X's in front of it. So they treat everything else with the same level of thought, and just put random stuff. And it seems like they also typ lke ths cuz thy r 2 lzy 2 b nml.
Xavier... No. Names like pumpkinkiller984473284987 are usually spammers, just because they have names that they wont (need to) remember, then they spam, and get banned.
Oh, I wouldn't say spammers are that easy to spot, just by their names.
Though it is quite true that most people who have a completely random string of numbers or copious amounts of Xs in their names are often spammers, it isn't the only people who spam. Far from it.
It is a rather weak correlation but I suppose it is there. It is bad enough in real life when people make assumptions about you based on first appearances but it is worse here online. All you have is a name and an armatar. (ok and a rank/post/profile) I would hate tho tink that if I had had a dumb name people would treat me differently.

As always Pixie speaks wisely, but there are some spammers with an x, but it might be just a coincidence. Also the first time see someone they say that it's the most important time, so because here we don't see the other the name plays a role, for the opinion people make about you.

But your name is what is representing you. In real life you have multiple things that influence someones first impression, but online all you have is your name. Then in some cases an avatar, depending on the website. So if someone creates a dumb name they should almost expect to be treated differently, at least until they prove that they aren't stupid.
but there are some spammers with an x
I'm saying like multiple x's. And of course everyone with x's aren't spammers, and not all spammers have stupid names, but it's just something I've observed. Mostly on other sites though.
