Pook didn't like it when I renamed my callsign to l_________________l

He banned that callsign ( /sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":sad:" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> ) and he had to do some things to get aem working again because I had renamed that account.

Something borked. No, I did not touch it, but you show with TWO squad tags. Which I assume is what is doing it. I will forward this to TE.

Because people are jerks.

Indeed, I take it that we can't delete callsigns/hiders either? No problem with the limit of 3, but would like to change my alternate callsign whilst still sleaving room for the possibility of a squad tag this century...

No, callsigns can't be deleted by you. Occasionally they are reset at the admin level, though.

Was it the Scruffy Red Monkey incident?

Someone's callsign (the string of characters itself) shouldn't be linked to their identity - that's what the IP/harddrive serial/whatever else ASGS uses to identify someone is for. ASGS should not be in place to prevent people from using different names, it should be in place to prevent individuals who are banned from playing and to disallow people from modifying gameplay changing files.
