letiole all that was taken into account when we voted and when we framed the motion.

It was wordy enough as it was!

Mods and Randy's staff are an important line of contact here.

A new member signing up now as oz stamps or ozstamp would be automatically approved by the software. If they posted only in the NW or DL forum for instance I'd likely never notice.

Any Mod noticing a new handle similar to one they recognise as an existing member may politely advise the new member of this, and/or an email to HOM will sort it pretty soon before the new member is here long.

Likewise an existing member seeing a handle close to their own can take that same course.

IIRC is is then a judgment call by Randy's staff to disable the new name if they agree it is close enough to cause confusion to an active existing member.
