San bro!
The "Shout Box" is definitely another piece of enhancement as Sajha evolves into a better and more useful portal. Your intention of enabling Sajhaites to interact with each other at fingers- tips is well-received by me. However, the concern, that Loote has raised, is a clear and present one.
I too noticed yesterday that someone was logged in as "San". First he/she sounded like a normal chatter then all of sudden went crazy with F-this and F-that. He/she was giving you a bad name in that respect.
1) To avoid similar abuses, I would suggest disabling people from using existing login names. For example no one should be allowed to use "San", "mR. hydE" etc in the Shout Box since these are registered ids even themselves.
2) If we could think of a more well-rounded naming for this new functionality currently named as "Shout Box", that would be better I think; 'sounds like the utility is meant just for yelling at each other and people might just to do that for the sake of the shouting. May be Instant Messaging, IM or something around these names could be used.
3) Adding a link to a clearly-visible disclaimer, which discourages people against using private information like credit card information, social security, DOB, domicile etc (just like the good ol' MSN messenger does), might be in Sajha's interest.
My three cents (do not worry about the interest I will be losing on them).
