Doesn't the name "IRegisterToDownloadYAPE" seem suspicious to you? Looks like a spambot name. Leave comments.

You can close this thread now, seems someone deleted or banned the user above. Thanks

YAPE is the acronym for Yet Another Pokemon Editor; a tool found in the Rom Hackingn section. Nothing to worry about~
I thought the person accidentally mis-tped their name and should have put an R instead of a Y :shocked:

Oh no no...I think we would have all caught that if it was so. Like said, YAPE stands for something to deal with ROM Hacks and such. xD
I'm not a person into ****ing or even ROM ****ing.

Yeah.
@Mods: Please close this thread, my problem was solved.

Seems many users are registering with very stupid names, the recent being "Ijoinedforthedownloads" Isn't there something that stops no-spaced usernames during registration to the forums?

How would you differentiate fairly between users with legitimate usernames that contain no spaces - such as you and me - and users with names like that? You can't set a character limit, because there are bound to be some people with proper usernames who fall under that category. The only way to filter these users out properly is by hand, and besides, these people aren't doing anything wrong. There's no requirement to actually contribute to the forum when they come here to download stuff, so it doesn't really affect the everyday user.

Can't they come up with original names? I meant btw, "Is there a no-space username limit when there is more than one word in the name?" Like Ijoinedfordownloads. There's four words in that, can't it be stopped and the user has to have "I joined for downloads."

These people aren't going to post, evidently, so why not let them have these usernames? If they use an original one then it may use the online handle of another person, who's going to be at least a bit annoyed that their handle has been taken by a user who will never post.

Amen. Also, I'm not quite sure I'm getting the argument here, Spey, if you don't mind me saying (what with the fact that I've only been lurking in this topic until now). What's so bad about taking up a username no one's going to use if it's not inappropriate? If they actually post, then it's a humorous joke username. PC's got a lot of those floating around. If they turn out to be trolls, then PC's got a ton of active staff hanging around to take care of it. And if they don't post at all, then PC's got a ton of people who barely use their accounts as well, so it's probably no big deal to them either way.
