People signing up with usernames of those running for office..

I don't think they should.

1. It's annoying.
2. It's annoying.
3. It's really, really, annoying.
4. It's just begging for others to do the same.....

If it's a second account, they will be given a cookie and the account locked.

I only used signed up with this account cause it was available. If the mods feel its better for me not to have this username, I'm happy to get them to change it. The balls in their court now.

Name change? I vote for "Butterfly Kisses".

What if he *is* Barack Obama?

Hey guys can you change my name to "Mr. Finance". It sounds pretty cool.

If you actually wish to change your name, send a PM to AnandTech Moderator with the particulars - making sure first that the new name is available.

Doesn't bother me at all.

We've got a "Bill Gates" here; all kinds of "real" names being used.

Honestly, who really cares what user name someone chooses, as long as it's appropriate. I personally see nothing wrong with it. Is it really that much of a concern of yours what username one chooses?

Supreme Court said it was ok.

We've discussed it and don't feel it's an issue, as such we are not changing the rules or asking the poster who probably started this to change his name.
