That said, I must say, your attitude in the other poll forum is quite rude to suggest that people who vote contrary to your opinion do so just to do so! Some of us might actually disagree with you.

Yup, they can be stupid, but I appreciate the extra character. I'd be fine with making them less common - most teams should really only have a handful of players with a nick.
Maybe another option is that some players' nicknames could disappear later, to only show up in their history. So maybe a kid has the nickname "Exterminator" through college, but if his power stroke fades, my guess is the nickname would go with it. That might be a way to not have them as common at the higher levels.
