cant you just put this message for imposter/similar names instead of all "newbies"
i feel my name is unique. (this was unexpected degradation, i would have chosen another communication channel...)
thanks
that will require Theymos and/or Badbear or whoever to manually keep track of EVERY new users that have a similar name with some other user. that's too much trouble for
nothing little benefits.
Speaking of "newbie" i refer to design flawn in this particular status: I may have not been posting much, yet not new either. (Other status may be less flawned, yet crypto currencies live on egalitarian ideals) Feedback/trust is already implemented.
Similarity in names(, if that's all,) can be done through string similarity algorithms (easy).
Fraud prevention by message style similarity (short quotes) wont be too hard either.
Labeling users by IP networks may already be in place too
