Signed up to BBC Weather Watchers for a laugh.
I chose Wayne Dwops as my nickname.
It worked well for my first report.
Then overnight some BBC boffin saw it and when I went on, there was a message saying the nickname broke their rules and I must choose a new one.
So being of sound mind and good humour, in the nickname box I typed Wayne Dwops
again.

It has been accepted for the last couple of days, so either the BBC police have not seen it yet, or there is just one person checking the nicknames without a sense of humour.


Do they insist on you using your real name?
Perhaps that might be the reason. Although you do say 'nickname' so that
suggests you don't.
That seems remarkably humourless & po-faced. it's not as if it's in any
way offensive or controversial.

Perhaps one of our female contributors would like to sign up as
'Gail Force' to see what happens.....
