Staff usernames be added to the forbidden usernames list - Tim - 03-23-2010
Would it be possible to get the usernames of the staff here added to the Banned Username list so people can't make their usernames similar. Its very deceptive, especially if they just add a full stop or something after it and you can't tell by the username colour from the thread list where it just displays the text.

I personally think that people who try to duplicate staff's usernames should be banned.

I don't think ktmrider530 http://www.supportforums.net/member.php?action=profile&uid=1099 should be banned, he is a great member but I wish he didn't change his username to Omniscient.

I'm almost certain that when Omniscient comes online he'll either a) edit ktmrider530's username back to his previous or b) ban him temporarily for impersonating him. Seen as ktm hasn't really done anything wrong in the past, I don't think he needs to worry about being banned. I know he isn't going to try impersonate Omniscient, nobody's dumb enough to fall for it.
As for the banning of names similar to staff, I think yes but only if they are new members. The older members would quite clearly be having a bit of fun. Anyway, let's hope that this doesn't become a craze because I really don't want to have to ban some of the more active and well respected members of our community.
ktmrider530, if you're reading - please change your username as soon as you can. I don't have the tools to do so, otherwise I would have done it myself.

Maybe I should change my name to Skíll?

Did you not read his post?
I personally don't find it amusing.

No, please don't. It'll cause a lot of confusion and tbh, why would you want to change?

Don't worry. Thank you for being so civil about it.

I didn't realize it would cause a thread trying to change rules.
