So you think using only one name (first or last name, whatever) is already 
enough for us? I just do want to have some concrete knowledge of what do you 
want to have. We need some rules, however, in order to implement filtering 
systems, I need concrete wishes.

Believe me or not, but this possibility is already there. There is some kind of 
template message appearing whenever you want to write a post through the forum. 
So users don't even need to type something extra, it is already there. The 
template looks like:
---
Hi,

...

Thank you!
---

Maybe you have seen the "..." in the posted messages in the last days ;)

So, what should I do more? If a user isn't able to even follow that template, 
what should we then do??? I have no answer for this.


cheers,
art

P.S. Please jsut give me concrete wishes, what you would like to have and I 
will try to implement them.
