	You could be right about them being created by bots, as the usernames all begin with a capital letter and contain no symbols. 'Jimmy Z' is the only name with a space, and all numerical values are at the end of the username. This doesn't mean the accounts were created by bots though, the accounts could have been created by one person who (perhaps subconsciously) uses this method to think of usernames (after all, I find that more than two thirds of online usernames involving numbers only have them at the end).

		+	I understand (to the best of my knowledge) that there is no way to stop this, even though it is clogging up recent changes. My only reasoning for it being a bot is that the times at which the accounts are created are completely random, giving the impression that it isn't a person who may only create accounts between the hours of 4 and 9 for example. {{User:BRGSMan/sig}} 18:59, 1 December 2011 (GMT)

	Hi there, haven't been around in a while, been very busy with schoolwork. While I've been away however I've noticed a large amount of accounts are being created, and personally I seem reasonably suspicious that this is the same person making the accounts, or at least some kind of spam bot. I'm not entirely sure how to deal with the problem, but I thought it should be brought to our attention, especially seeing as no editing seems to be taking place. {{User:BRGSMan/sig}} 17:14, 18 November 2011 (GMT)		Hi there, haven't been around in a while, been very busy with schoolwork.

	Fixed the issue.. the shiny borders were causing the problem :-(. I don't use the default BRGSWiki theme so I didn't know there was a problem! Probably to do with the DIV tags that made the rounded corners on the borders. {{User:1885/Sig}}		Fixed the issue.. the shiny borders were causing the problem :-(.

	I think the 'should' is meant to mean that in order for it to be proper English, it should start with a capital letter. Either that or it means: it should begin with a capital letter, but most people incorrectly write it without said upper case character. I think I understand what you are thinking: that it does not begin with a capital letter, but in that person's opinion, the English language "should" be modified so that it does have a capital letter. Either could be correct, but personally I believe it should begin with a capital letter (even if the syntax of English does not say so, it would stand out like a sore thumb from other pronouns) as it is a proper noun, the name of something, just like 'Monopoly' is capitalised and is the name of a game (sports are a module/subcategory within games), 'Adam' is capitalised and is the name of a person and 'Friday' is capitalised as it is the name of a day of the week.
