Well I have to disagree with you there n3td3v. In your original post, you're saying that just because people take name, that I should be penalized by being blocked out of my name that I made 10 years ago, and not be able to use it? Was it my fault that 10 years ago you could put spaces in your name, or use caps? No... you cannot penalize all yahoo users, because of what some individuals do. I have had my name for so long in chat, and I'll be damned if anyone is going to take it away from me. LOL
I think that offence is the better defense. People need to take a little responsibility on themselves, and protect what they have and what they want to keep. For example, change your password often, and when you do, use characters, numbers, letter and the best one yet, is SPACES!!!! So many people out there think that just because it says pick a password, they sub subconsciously think things like (connie, or texas, or yahoo). They think only one particular word. However even if you use nothing else, the best you can do is to put in a phrase (i.e. my dog ate my homework, I rode a pony home yesterday). These types of passwords are very hard to crack. The cracking programs are just not made to try spaced combinations. But the programmers also know that people think small. So a password like ball (or any word in the dictionary) will be very easy to cracked, more so then 5t6y&U*I9o(o.
On another note - people have to remember that Yahoo is a free service. Thus yahoo is not going to put an overabundance into it. To them it's an advertising tool and they keep it up to the minimum standards so that we don't all just leave at once.
The only way to demand from them is to pay for it.
It's chat and it's only what you make of it. If you let it piss you off, then it will. If you laugh at it, then you'll have a great time.
