Staff Username Change - Limit of chars

[soft2050]

No i am not complaining about the username change for staff. But for the characters used in it

I am not sure, this is pretty much a bug in vb admin panel that allows username change to shorter names i guess



And

Your initial screen didn't load in time, my bad. And this isn't a bug, admins can override some restrictions like that.

Hang on before it's closed. K??'s new name. As the ?? not 32 is the small upper case they are not regular characters and therefore it creates issues searching and contacting. It was the same case when Elio had to change his name. The diamater 'o' sign was changed to a real 'o' shortly after he became staff due to these problems. Can staff limit themselves to default keyboard characters.

I would argue that such strange characters should not have been allowed.

I think it's best if we were limited on the amount of name changes too, we can't be having name changes every day. I'm not saying that this is the case for us, but we need a limit too.

Monday: "Oh hey J", "Who are you?"
Tuesday: "Oh hey Dumbledore, who are you?"
Wednesday: "Another name change "

Members that aren't staff put that they've amended their name from X to Y in their signature for X amount of time, why do we need announcements announcing that we have had a name change? I have no clue; why can't we do the same like members. We're not special.
