Real names only or registration is rejected

Hey people, this isn't a gamer board, facebook, or for crackers/black hats, period.
A board full of scientists and inventors has some real legal attribution issues. If you have stuff to hide, this ain't the place for it.

If you don't have one, please get a real name before signing up, OK?
If you have some odd nick, no one can prove that's you to give you credit for an idea, and anyone can easily pretend to be you in return.
Just don't go there. The moderators here will remove any obviously not real name accounts, posts and all.

Real names generally consist of a first name and a last name separated by a space, and both capitalized. Let's keep this real and purty.
This isn't for kids, and you'd kind of hope people joining a board about how to do tricky stuff would....read. the. directions. first.

The number of wacky nicks and fake names I'm getting is not giving me a ton of faith that people wanting to join a board about
directions
will read the directions.

Even stock trading 'bots parse headlines.

The entire board is readable without signing up. That's only needed for private messages, subscribing to topics, and posting.
Which, if you read the board, is about answers, not a custom question answering service. Google and wikipedia are over there ->

They get paid for that - or sell you. We don't.

Further to the above
Registration is now by invite only
If you want to join you have to send me an Email and I will open the registration portal for a short while (typically 30 minutes)
This puts the applicant in the inactive category until I activate the account
