Ban this option.

I say we should ban the option to have numbers in names. There's too many Rikku9238487's and Yuna32141's around, it's getting confusing.

If you don't agree with me, well than I'll shutup and leave it.

I agree. People need to be more original in their names. Why not names like Squall_Humps_Riona? Thats an awesome name!

I agree. I don't think what I say REALLY matters, but I still agree with you all the same. Although I admit I'd like to take it farther, and ban names with FFcharacters in them as well. It's not much better. That could be just me though.

:D

Okay, how about not only numbers, but also "_"'s and any FF-character names? (i.e. xxxCloudxxx) I don't know.

Anyways not like it matters too much to everyone, I guess. So I'll just leave it.

I just put numbers in mine out of habit. By the time I realized what I was doing, It was too late. :(

How about we ban people from beginning their names with lower-case letters too? And no known characters at all. You are not Spaceman Spiff! How dare you! Yes, I like that.

The cleansing has begun...

We are not going to restrict people's usernames in such rediculous ways. That's so freaking anal I could just flick every one of you who think that's an acceptable idea.

Well, it does seem to be a bit too much of a censorship thing for me to support.

But on the other hand all these unoriginal names are REEEAAALLLYYY freakin' annoying.

If you can (politely) convince every single member we have at EoFF with a number in their name to choose a username without numbers, then I might begin considering this request. :p

Well I'm sorry. And I'm not trying to be offensivee, but you are being rude about this. It was just a suggestion, I wasn't saying you must do this. =\

I think FF-based names and names with excessive numbers in it are a good thing to have. If we ban those, we have to convince those people who would ordinarily use such names to paint "STUPID" on their foreheads so that we could still tell who they were before they piss us off.
03-01-2005, 12:23 PM

I have to agree with Shlup on this one. Yeah, it's annoying, but banning them? It's just absurd.

However, I do like Bleys's idea. xD

I think somebody needs to edit the user registration form and put next to the username section "For god's sakes, be origional."

I thought we'd all decided people who number their screen names a long time ago. It should be common knowledge by now that numbered or FF-related names are a sign of stupidity. :rolleyes2

I'm waiting for one of them to pop in this thread and get indignant.

Of course, that won't happen because they're too stupid to check this thread, right? :D

Perhaps this thread should be moved to the FFX-2 forum, that should get them going.
03-01-2005, 05:06 PM
Dking'squeen

huh?
I don't know if banning the people who have numbers or FF related names in their names is a good idea. Yeah, tis quite annoying when you have so many numbers in your name that it could be your phone number, address and birthday, but sheesh, let them do what they want. If they want to type in all of those numbers, go ahead and let them. Some of the people with FF related names *as said somewhere else in the thread* thought that their names had to be that way and therefore named them so.

*i guess*

That was me, and I was being ironic. I don't think those members are at all stupid. My screen name used to be Black Mage 121, after all.

Some people have numbers in their name, because maybe the numbers hold a certain meaning for them. Remember Shadowdust? His name used to be Shadow(zip code)

However, the two most common numbers anyone should avoid at all costs are 69 and 666.

It's okay, I was a bit cranky (seem to get cranky when it's late now), and I must have lashed out a little. I do see the point in not banning numbers; although I was talking about FF-names with numbers, probably wasn't too clear.

Anyways, don't worry about my opinion. ^.^ I'm not trying to be anal about it, doesn't really bother me, I guess.

Sorry, to make a pointless thread, everyone. >.<;;
03-01-2005, 11:15 PM

I wasn't saying you, specifically, were anal. The amount of people that thought this was a good idea was annoying though. I mean, yeah, I'm really tired of Cloud2000, Cloudx34, Cloud1992, etc too, but banning those types of things is just... too far.

And this is one of the less stupid suggestions we've gotten. Seriously.

If this matters at all, I was also going to suggest this and call it the Unne Solution, but the man himself beat me to it.

I am throwing in my two cents, for serious this time, and I don't care if it's a dead issue.

How on EARTH can a username annoy you? GAH! The underscores are burning my eyes! The numbers have given me diaper rash! I've run out of hydrocortizone cream! One more late titled Final Fantasy username could make me EXPLODE.

See how silly, everybody? How silly? :D

So am I--but I stand by my word. I get my fill of stupidity just working in tech support without being assaulted by it everywhere I go. It's nice to have nice and clear indicators of stupidity so that one can simply disassociate with such people prior to getting a screaming migraine.
