Except, under those circumstances, the reciever could easily report those situations. Just click on the "Report this post" button and leave the message "Rep comment by anonymous individual is horribly offensive, abusive and profane".
Moderator would see the comment, and who left it, since it was not anonymous to them. Problem solved.

Bug Tossing?

But Case doesn't change whether or not a name is taken. If Superguy is taken, SuPeRgUy is not free, it just looks dumber.
Also: you can only have one punctuation mark in the name, so your math may be off.

I very rarely have a problem with names, probably because I use a lot of two-word names. But it happens.

I still think that the "This name is unavailable!" pop-up should read "This name is not available on this server." as some new players might not know that names are only server specific. If they are more married to the specific name than to the server choice, they might try another server. In theory, this might spread newer players to less populated servers and help balance out the population, but I really doubt that it would have a noticable effect.
Still would be a nice little thing to have.

A small black portal opening in midair and a fist comes out to punch someone? Goofy, but awesome.
Just have a slap and a backhand in the first two powers in the set and a Shadow Maul "speedbag" attack too.

At first I saw your post and thought of a powerset that would be mostly about having portals open up underneath a foe and netherworld tentacles rising up to smack a foe around, kind of like a few existing powers ingame.

Grrrr!! Hampster Power!

Agreed.
I might have to look for a Cresent Moon chest logo. Unless that's not in the list.

This.

If the idea is worth considering, it's worth fleshing out.
Right now, we have "I saw this one move in a movie and want a whole powerset (or AT depending on how you read the title. ) based on it."

What else do you have? It could be interesting, or it could be nothing.


Edit: Ranged Melee (One "L" ) doesn't have to be for a Melee AT, but rather for a Ranged AT. Think of a Blaster whose damage type is Smashing. Instead of firing a Beanbag Gun or waving a Wand-of-Flying-Hammers, his animation is:
1) He stands some distance from the enemy and starts a punching animation.
2) Copies of him in varius stages of the animation are placed (and removed) one by one in a line from him to the target, while he stands in the original place, covered by a very-short stealth-type hide.
3) Doing the finishing portion of the animation, he appears to be next to the target. (even though he is really not.)
4) The ToHit roll is made, damage is taken (or not).
5) The 2-3 second stealth is dropped and the character reappears back in place, as if he had TP'ed in and out.

In reality, he never moved, but while he was rooted by the attack's animation, it appeared as if he had.
And it probably wouldn't truly be a Stealth, even though I used that term. Unless we start talking about a whole new AT to wrap it around.
Within the framework of an existing AT: For PvP terms, your targeting box would stay put, allowing you to be targetted while firing these powers just the same as someone firing other ranged attacks can be.
For PvE terms, well, your teammates just stop seeing you for a second or two and see the fake you in flashes towards the target.

Harrassment? Inane replies?
A quick glance across the first page of this thread shows that you've been given logical and polite reasons why your reasons don't work.
Your original post was the most negative (statements towards others that might later disagree with you) on the whole page.
Edit to Add: Page two was nothing but fuzzy bunnies and warm hugs too, so you provided more hostility than everyone else combined up to the point of the post I quote right here. If there is anything even close to "Harassment" it would therefore be you. Feel free to report yourself.
When you get ingame Emails to the effect of "Stay out of Steel Canyon or I'm coming to ur house" or "Get off this server or I'll run you off the road on your way to work", that's Harassment. Been there, recieved those, got the chatlogs sent in to GMs.

Polite disagreement doesn't count as being mean to you and hurting your feelings isn't petitionable if you're so thin-skinned that merely pointing out errors gets you in such a tizzy.

Feel free to report every post I've made in this thread to the moderators if you feel that I've been inappropriate.
It's that (Triangle with a "I" in it) button at the bottom left.

Well, in some American cities you could wear this:

..without getting hassled, and he is estimated to have killed up to 70 Million people, beating out Stalin and Hitler.
Places in the U.S. you could wear the Hitler shirt without hassle are far fewer.

Are you willing to shave your back?
Can you really teach a sheep to cook, though?

Or...
1) Create Alt on Protector named Bob.
2) Move Bob on Virtue to Protector (requires rename).
3) Profit!

Virtue's Help Channel is actually used by players to answer other player's questions in an informative and polite manner.
For some folks, that's a difficult thing to adjust to.
