  I think sqlServerCentral should add data integrity to the "Full name" field. The field should only allow letters [a-zA-Z] and spaces.

  Why?

  The standings just do not look right. It is a trash bin. As it is, members assume weird aliases to get to the top of the standings list. The change will increase readibility and the value of answering questions correctly.

  I am sure someone is just going to alias 'aaaaa*';to mitigate that, sqlServerCentral could implement a tie breaker (suggestions? maybe participation points?) or just display - or give credit to - all members that are tied with the same score.

  Whatcha think?

  Just out of curiosity. Which standings are you talking about?
