How can I yikes an inappropriate nickname ? this researcher is currently signed in under the nickname of Adolf Hitler <./>U1796165</.>
This is the second time within a couple of days that I've come across this name, both belonging to a community called 'dannywallace'
Isn't there a way to prevent people choosing a name like this in the first place ?

B'Elana, they seem to have changed their name now.

If you ever need to yikes a PS (or any A page), there is a link in the text in the blue box on the right of the page (in alabaster):

>> In the event that you consider anything on this page to be in breach of the site's House Rules, please click here to alert our Moderation Team.<<

"click here" is underlined and is the link to notify the mods smiley - ok

Ok, thanks for the info - i looked at the page in Brunel, and in Goo and there wasn't anything, so I didn't try Alabaster anymore.

It's hidden away right at the bottom of the page in goo and brunel.

I couldn't make any sense of that danny wallace site so I posed in Ask about it: F19585?thread=996898
