Yes, I don't like it when people register user names like jkdfak5637, 212klklfjhgdf, WJDKE69, etc since it looks spammy, and I got a feeling most members who register gibberish are spammers, spambots, or trolls.

I meet some very nice people who use gibberish names, but most of the time they can be spamers or trolls.

I meet a few good people with gibberish user names, but I notice a large percentage of them are spammers and trolls.

But, I notice spammers and trolls these days are using more common user names which can be a bad thing since if your forum has too many spambots, they can register all the cool user names.

I notice more spambots are registering spammy usernames like "sell_gold_online", etc.

spammer bots aren't the best when it comes to digression, I don't know if that is on purpose or the people making them just laughing at us.
