NATS locks the usernames for a very smart reason... if you use ajax, I can test the username's for a valid user, once it's a good user I can brute force attack that username.
With nats, every submit to check for a valid username, locks the username - along with a generalized error on a duplicate.
This is done for a very good reason, if you screw with it, you're chopping your own balls off.
