Hi Sukender, I'd prefer not to go in heavy handed, but find a system that right at the begining sets the right tone for future communication. I wonder if providing a better introductory text to forum and mailing about etiquette and good examples of user names, and have all new subscribers need to be manually approved - at this approval point one could get back to the subscriber and ask for human readable user name if one hasn't been given. For such an approval system we'd need a set of volunteers to be available to vet and approve new subscribers. The rate of subscription is around 1 a day so it typically wouldn't be a great deal of work, the hard part is providing a quick turn around.
I'll have to defer to Art on how practical this is. Robert.
