Understandably! - Chris Anthony

I think rooms option will be cancelled by FF. It should be. - Erhan Erdogan

Yeah, I wonder if there's a way to moderate something like this, or even community moderation. - Eric Florenzano

http://friendfeed.com/rooms... is my room for me. Whoever registered Scobleizer, a pox on your house! - Robert Scoble

how do you stop them ? what (if any) are the rules ? does scoble-sucks get treated the same as i-heart-scoble ? - martin english

Hey, if anybody wants my room, I'll let 'em have it. :D - Rishabh Mishra (p248)

Robert, rooms are in the same namespace as users. You snatched up scobleizer! Pox! - Mark Trapp

Just out of curiosity I punched in your name about 20 minutes ago, Robert, and it was available. Seems not everyone is observing proper netiquette when it comes to their fellow FriendFeeders. - Robert Stevens

I thought you grabbed them all. I only saw one left, but I left it alone for you. Figured people were sort of being courteous that way. - shaun mclane

maybe they are saving them for you. I tried to get scobleizer to save it for you but it had already been taken. Maybe ff is saving scobleizer for you as well as I was pretty early in the great friendfeed landgrab of 2008. - Thomas Hawk

Ban humans from using its service, or change its TOS to allow for trademark or identity disputes. Like people have been alluding to, this is very much the name grab the domain name system experienced in the 90s. - Mark Trapp

http://friendfeed.com/e... FF says names and rooms can't be the same. - Mark Trapp

To be fair to FriendFeed, it's impossible to think of every scenario...but at the same time, it doesn't look like they made *any* rules at all...Putting rules into place after the fact will probably cause a stir. - Chris Rossini

Hmm, I can't get to Scobleizer or RobertScoble. Says those aren't available. Ahh, I see Mark Trapp just answered why that happens. Can't have rooms be the same as names. - Robert Scoble

I hate that someone would grab a room with someone else's name, but as for squatting, parking etc it's nothing new.. I do it on twitter for future projects (I think I have 2 now). - Brad McCrorey

I was gonna say! There is no problem until people start refusing to transfer over rooms with obvious ownership claims by others. Just taking a name, depending on intended use, isn't necessarily a bad thing. BTW, currently, "transfering" rooms does not seem to be possible. Leaving a room doesn't stop you from being an Admin, just delists you as a member. - shanebe

Own Idea: Scoble, Scobleizer are reserved by FF team. They collected names like Turkey, England, Scoble, etc.. - Erhan Erdogan

Whoops, hopefully that can be rectified. Can someone else be made an admin? - Vince DeGeorge

"collected names like Turkey, England, Scoble, etc.." HA! - Andrew Dobrow

Don't worry, they'll introduce granular control for rooms soon.... - Steve Lynch from Alert Thingy

That's bad form to take someone's name. - George Donnelly

what a about RealDvorak, Laporte and Calacanis rooms? - Denis
