Starting today, the following characters will not be allowed in new user names (if your existing user name uses these characters, you should be able to log in as usual -- this applies only to NEW user registrations):
hyphen (-)
underscore (_)
period (.)
Other characters may be added in the future. If you try to register with a name that includes these characters, you will be taken back to the main registration screen and asked to pick another name.
For example: Amanda_Jones is not allowed, nor is Amanda-Jones. However, AmandaJones is acceptable.
The reason behind this: spammers -- trying to keep them out of registrations. We've had a rash of this crap lately and I'm trying to discourage it.

TRIED TO REGISTER AND GOT A MESSAGE SAYING YOU WERE BANNED? It's because you are in a country that is known for excessive spamming. Several countries have been banned, including the Philippines, India, Pakistan, most areas of Africa, Malaysia, Indonesia, Russia, Ukraine, Vietnam, and a few others. Please understand this usually has nothing to do with you as an individual; it has to do with excessive spamming coming from the country that you are in.
