I am gutted that I chose the Blondie variation of my usual ice cream/ cherry / berry online names now.

Wouldn't it be great to be arguing about government provided healthcare with name like SuxHoogeCox?

XoB is a proactive moderator. This keeps us from wasting time on new users who registered to develop a rapport with us for the purpose of eventually trying to sell us something; or, to otherwise string us along for their own self gratification. IMHO, good forum moderators will spend additional time researching new registrations that raise a red flag with them indicating potential unsuitability.

It seems that sales people and self centered users are among the various categories of people who often use the same (or similar) nickname at many of the places they register. Perhaps this is because they register at so many websites that a different username at each one becomes too inconvenient. A Google search by username will show their other affiliations. Their profiles elsewhere sometimes reveal more than their profile here and their posts elsewhere almost always reveal things that wouldn't be revealed here for some time to come.

Any member can, indirectly, participate in the process. I've done it when I noticed that a new user's posts sounded rehearsed (like a salesman's pitch). I did the research and incorporated enough of my findings to raise a red flag in one of that users threads. I submit that thread for your entertainment (it's funny). The user's fate can be found here.

The Cellar has an annual moderator election sometime around the first of the year [if UT doesn't change the system]. Anyone who doesn't like having a proactive moderator not only gets to vote on the matter, they get to articulate their rationale and possibly sway others' opinions (including the moderators').
