# Grid-supplied surnames

Many people like single usernames, to deal with these people, LL has 'Resident' reserved as a surname, so that people have two names.



Would it be worth implementing a grid-configureable surname for people who want to enter only a single name?

(Sanity checking so the grid owner doesn't set this to the same as the god surname)

So effective that we don't need anything else like an annoying CAPTCHA or what ever.  And it will remain a very effective spam filter coz other web sites go with the "convenience" of not having to type a space in your user name.  So the spammers wont update their spam bots.
