Thread: Same Nick Warning - New User Registration Form

I know there are numerous warnings about having the same nickname, but I've run across 26 different users that missed those warnings. Obviously the current system isn't working.

I suggest we update the new user registration form here:

This is our current message:

"In order to be able to post messages on the Torrent Invites! Get your free private torrent tracker invites !
forums, you must first register.
Please enter your desired user name, your email address and other required details in the form below."


I believe this will be more effective:

Please enter your desired username, email address, and other required details in the form below.
Warning - Username must be different than your tracker username(s).
Selecting the same username will result in your account being BANNED!




EDIT - Looks like it was just implemented:



It's not in "big bold flashing red letters" but it ought to get the point across.



Thanks for updating that so quickly!!

Just like all the common issues, also this one should be solved as much as possible before a person enters the forums for good. So +1.

Yeah I agree simple and to the point!

+1 its important they follow this as it can be very dangerous if folk do not know of this, and when sending inivtes never to create the same or similar account ??? (name)

Sounds good to me, if someone cant get the point after being reminded twice before even signing up, they have no excuse if they are caught.

this is a great idea.. no excuse after this! :) +1

Better safe than sorry so good idea to make sure they pay heed to the warning.

yes i agree with this one i have given alot of invites to people then they sign up with the same name its very frustrating to me


or you could give everyone a generated nickname then later give them the option of changing it

+1 great idea mate...
