Username Not Allowed?

It seems that my username "isn't allowed" to log in here, but I was able to create it back when the this started and I can still use temporary logins sent to my email address (although I can't save a new password without getting the same error). I can't even upload a new avatar. Why is this happening?

I don't know, but the temporary login thing worked for me.

That is odd; I can't change your profile pic either. My guess is a bug; I'll let davidc know about it.

EDIT: He says that he blocked that username (along with some other game-related names, like "Weather Man" and "Miss Nancy") on purpose. It's odd that you were still able to register. In any case, I'd recommend changing your name or creating a different account or such, since "Sugar Plumps" is intentionally blocked.

How does one change a username? I didn't think Drupal allowed that.

*Changes AP's username back and forth just for the lolz* Yep, it works. Your profile page should have an "Edit" tab where you can specify your username up top. If it doesn't, it might be a mod-only thing, and I can change it for you.

No, I can only change things like my email address, profile pic, and password.

But I don't particularly want to change my account name, I like Albino Pokey. Thanks.

Again, we need a form a Captcha key or something of the likes. I know they can be removed easily, Daxar, but it would be MUCH easier in the long run if we used something like that.

A quick google search later:
Mollom seems legit. Good reviews. Free repository for Mollom 2. Also a palindrome.
The one problem with goofans was the lack of a CAPTCHA esque spam filter.

Captcha is horrible. It annoys the tar out of legitimate users, and blocks no spam whatsoever. In any case, please don't derail a topic when spam is posted.
