From Elric of Grans' Lurker Lounge Etiquette page (and he IS an admin):
I can name two private forums off the top of my head that restrict the nature of nicknames. Both of these forums do so to promote a continuity in nature/feel/environment within those forums. The Lurker Lounge has a continuity in nature/feel/environment as well... we detest pubbies, and the 1337speak they spew. It's one of the things that helps keep this place far more palatable than Diabloii.net or the Battleforums.
Considering that Mr. Jack, up there, had the wherewithal to spell his name correctly in his signature poem, would it be too much to ask that he do so in his actual nickname?
Absolutely correct. It also is your primary and ONLY means of making a first impression. Can you not see the counterproductive nature of spelling your actual nickname like an idiot, then?

Quote:3) Please post in real English. If English is not your first language, we do not mind spelling or grammatical errors...we do not mind typos from anyone either. However, we do not appreciate '|337 5|o33|<' or any unnecessary shortenings of English words - common abbreviations such as 'lvl' or 'dmg' are fine though. If you do not follow this rule, you will be flamed or ignored completely.Since we find it necessary to put forth this suggestion for posts... how can it not be considered for nicknames as well?

Quote:This being because any name is a form of self expression, and its personal. It is your face in the digital world, and it is the first thing most cyber people you meet will see.

If it has more than four legs, kill it immediately.
Never hesitate to put another bullet into the skull of the movie's main villain; it'll save time on the denouement.
