aw there sure are some sensitive souls on the interwebs! i mean really is your day that empty that you want to have some poor soul extridicted and convicted for improper use of a screen name? actually i doubt the law extends as far as screen names, and i would just love to see the metropolitan police do a dawn raid on robot wars to grab sir killalot!

Man, if only I lived in Hong Kong I wouldn't have to wait for PR1.2/Qt4.6. We could write it in Qt much easier.

In the past, it has proved difficult, if not impossible, to change the username of a user on this site. Therefore, in addition to considering the legal ramifications of this issue, our movement on this matter is constrained by technology. It may take some time for us to fully investigate a solution to this problem, and we appreciate your patience and understanding in the interim.

In the meantime, I suggest for consideration your use of the "Report A Forum Bug" link at right to request and enhancement to the forum software. A ticket should be opened on the issue of blocking use of the strings "sir" and "dame" at the start of new usernames to prevent the expansion of this problem.
