He not only ignored it but decided to set the name back to an acronym again. And his thread was NOT "alive". And no, besides locking them out without a message we currently don't have any other viable option in the software. A user ban feature has not been necessary so far! The real name notice actually works well 99% of the time - which shows that most people appreciate the rules of a community they just joined. Ignore the exceptions... Also, he just posted the exact same content again and this time he actually used his real name. So nothing lost, no problem. If you want the "programm0r" forum posters we can remove the real name policy completely. I have been really really surprised how well it worked though and the Seam forum content is mostly good quality - maybe because of that. It makes a difference if your future employers can Google your incompetence level ;) We are evaluating a move to the upcoming new jboss.org forums, maybe we then have more options such as in-community messages, banning, etc. _______________________________________________ seam-dev mailing list seam-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/seam-dev
