Black Knight, meet Black_Knight.

How can this be? One is a blue boarder with 2889 posts or so. The other a new challenger with 129 posts or so.

What is to be done? How will BK know when I'm talking to him and not BK.

Memnoch? Saz? Z'meister?

I changed the 'new' BK to his other name--his logon name he chose.
I explained to the new BK that it would confuse people, and he understood, and had no problem with it.

Um, it may be a free Country, but this is MY Forum! [img]smile.gif[/img]
I don't allow people to use someone elses name. even if they use an underscore (a _ ) as the difference. This will only confuse people.

I am closing this thread now, as his name is now changed as requested.

Axil, do not create duel accounts, as it's not allowed. It creates EXTRA work for me to go digging into the database and remove it.

Dear Dan,

Apologies for opening this up again (I am closing it back immediately) but I wanted to ask; is there a way that when a person registers, the registration program can do a "fuzzy" search on the basis of that name, to make sure it's not just a variation of the name with a comma or underscore or period? If not, is there a mod that can be created like that? That could avoid a lot of confusion in the future.

Just an idea. Thanks once again for your help. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Cheers,
-Sazerac
