We will soon be adding a filter to ban the use of symbols in usernames. The symbols are distracting and make the website look a bit messy. Usernames should be changed to include ONLY letters and/or numbers. Users with any symbols in their username are encouraged to remove the symbols as soon as possible. After the filter is in place we will send a PM out to all the users who still have symbols in their usernames so they can change them.

If you have any questions feel free to PM me or post here.

Thank you,
Sarin

Congratz Sarin :DD It was already time for ban the symbols from usernames :D

lol well I'm not a fan of the symbols and scott agreed that they are a bit distracting. I made the topic so that users know they need to change their usernames soon if they have symbols in them. We can't touch anyones username right now because if we change it then it changes their log in. So for the time being we are leaving this up to the individual to change their username. If we have members who refuse to change their username once we put the filter in then we might go in and change their username and send an email to the email they registered with and tell them their new username. I'm not sure when (of if) that will happen. But for the time being I just want users to know that if they have any symbols in their username if they could kindly remove them it would be much appreciated. ^^

good idea sarin ^^

Removing symbols from names would be a great help, especially for those who wants to send them private messages via this forum.

Anyway, what are those symbols for in a forum? Showing off their knowledge about Ascii characters?
