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.

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.
