Not that we can find.

However, it’s not really much to ask, considering the alternative. The temporary name actually limits the time in the moderation queue, or “no man’s land”…usually not more than 24 hours.

I check the queue every day, usually in the mornings. Consider that every day we get as many as 8-10 unregistered users attempting to create and post spam/filth. I delete this stuff most mornings…trying to separate the “sheep from the goats”.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope you understand.
