Question

How is it that there can be two people with the same username ?

Answer 1

User A is sending pm's to people trash talking user B. Yet they have the same username and they are not the same person.

Answer 2

User A is telling people to un-fan user B and just talking bad about user B. I don't think this is right

Answer 3

Yeah, I've had this with @Opcode and another @Opcode. Same exact username, and he's trash talking the real @Opcode.

Answer 4

It can't happen. You know, there can be an invisible space or different unicodes.

Answer 5

WOULD THE REAL @OPCODE PLEASE STAND UP?

Answer 6

@.opcode ?

Answer 45

@modphysnoob LOL, that is completely impossible for me.

Answer 46

well we know the fake opcode has no fans...wonder why that is...lol

Answer 47

because he doesn't need them?

Answer 48

lol

Answer 49

or deserve them. There's that too.

Answer 50

Some invisible characters don't take any space
or he could of client-hacked the username AJAX form kinda like how I did, who knows! 8-)
It seems poorly validated. It validates through AJAX, so disable the AJAX validation and BEAUTY arises!!!!
