It seems that we have two new brethren today with the same name. There is hello_beginner with 2 write-ups so far and Zombie hello_beginner with none.

This ought not to be possible, so there is presumably a bug somewhere which allows it (at least a race condition). Please could TPTB ascertain that these two users are the same and then dispose of the account with no write-ups before confusion reigns?

Thanks, Hippo.

    From my experience this just happens from time to time. (maybe try supersearch)

    Certainly a bug but with such a low criticality that the devs just don't really give it high priority.

    Hmm... "Send private /msg" on their home nodes produces the same name as well. No spaces or anything.
