I noticed that our latest registered user is called Legsakimbo. Does this fit in with our Code of Conduct?

I don't see a problem with it, unless they start posting in the style of its sexual connotations, which is only one way of looking at the phrase.

edit: to fix apostrophe abuse.

Yeah, it made me think of 'arms and legs akimbo' from when someone's fallen over.


And I said to myself, 'I am glad that I am not a clockfeet.'

"Dragonshit" (joined december 18th) might be slightly more inappropriate...

Although we might read that as Dragons Hit, which could be a reference to Eragon. ;-)

However, when Mr or Mrs LegsAkimbo starts posting we will be a bit vigilant about the sexual content, of course. Just Like we will probably ask DragonsHit why he/she chose that nick... Right?

I must admit the dragonshit name made me cringe a bit, but then I thought it says a lot about the person that chose it and they'll be the ones who it reflects on if they start posting.
