Hey, Everybody!

So, though I must figure out HOW to do it, we will be removing the use of special characters in names.
This is because the system cannot keep track of user names that may be the same by with fancy symbols and they will also be harder for an admin/moderator to look up in the system if it starts with a special character.

At this moment, we're doing research into voiding the use of special characters in user names, (I didn't know you could to start with). So, when that change happens, I will be going into any users with special characters and editing them out to what the name is without said characters.

I apologize in advance, but it simply makes the site run easier for those behind the scene and to avoid confusion in case two people use the same name, only one is written with a fancy character.


Update:12/23/20
We have implemented the no character clause in signup.

I can get behind this - and it's not like people can't still use numbers :D

Exactly. Though, I may need to see about avoiding any like...
"UndeadEyes"
"UndeadEyes2".

I don't want people doing that. So, I'll talk to my guy about rules. Names too similar to others could cause issues, you know?
