[wp-forums] another user name that needs achanging

[Mark Duncan]

Hi,

Rich my comment wasn't necessarily directed at you, it was more of a 
general statement about how i feel on the whole username discussion, 
sorry i should of been clear.

-- on that topic --
In my opinion any username restrictions should be enforced at the time 
of registration, not after a given user has already registered and 
received an "A ok!" response from the WordPress website, because let's 
face it, in the eyes of a user, if the site lets the registration 
through then the user is likely to assume the username is 
acceptable/appropriate.. (and maybe quite rightly so).

;)
