Abuse of The News Comments

[Weasley]

Can you guys set up the login system in a way that if someone tries to register a nick that is already registered on the forums, he has to enter the password for the corresponding forum profile? I know it's a lot of extra work, but it will certainly nip the troll problem in the bud. The trolls are probably going to jump to nab our nicks before we get a chance to register them for ourselves, and then the trolling is just going to go on in full earnest.

i would think forum nick would be registered already

Not necessarily, if it works like the one on the sister-site, MyBroadband, forum nicks and site nicks are registered seperately.

Yeah, I agree with Graal, I'd hate for someone to steal my nickname.

Just a heads up, you can post under a guest name on the MyGaming comments section. Trolls are already using my name again. Don't give them any attention, as if anybody posts under my nick, it's not me.

Edit: Or even better, I'll be using my Twitter account, so if my nick isn't linked to my Twitter account, it's not me.
