[[User:tillwe|Till]] is disallowed because it
creates confusion and can be used as a way to
hide your real username. If you want to hide your
identity you can logoff and post with an
anonymous IP. Also, another useraccount may exist
with the name "Till". Not everybody knows your
first name, so we should examine the link in
order to understand who you are.

This has got to be one of the most paranoid things I've read in a while. All you have
to do to
find out what a person's full user name is to put your mouse pointer over their sig.
Presto! Their
full user name is displayed as mouse over text. You can also check the history.
But the notion that people are trying to hide their real user names for nefarious reasons
by using
a nick is very insulting. Where the hell is the abuse Optim? If and when somebody votes
twice in
the same poll using the same user account but different nicks, I can assure you that the
people
who voted in the opposite direction will find that out quickly. If any user had a habit of
doing
that, then that could form part of a ban request.

not state my
full user name)
Bah!
