Question

We should not allow users to put Symbols in their name.

Answer 1

It makes the site lag more..someone with symbols just posted a question in math and I lost connection to OS.

Answer 2

I keep losing connection every five min but I don't know if it has to do with symbols.

Answer 3

Maybe it does..

Answer 4

I couldn't see the whole tags pop up when I was writing one..but it seems like it's back to normal

Answer 5

yes, they should put a limit or block of something
so things like @***[ISURU]*** don't happen again
and people won't be able to have weird inappropriate names in other languages

Answer 6

Answer 7

Lol, yep.

Answer 8

Sometimes, because of specific symbols, I guess, they dont let you tag the person and if you tag them, it doesn't link you to their profile..

Answer 9

Hm...
I am knew to this so idk.
I have been using Brainly.com, but their site kept crashing. But they don't let people use symbols.

Answer 10

Answer 11

^^ See their site crashes. Not all sites are lag-free and crash-free :P

Anyways, this would be helpful. I saw a user yesterday with two octopus emojis as their username, and viewed their question. I couldn't answer it, but the PMed me and my OS freaked.

Answer 12

I say let people do what ever they want, it's not really affecting anyone, if I said no periods should be allowed in peoples name, then you would start arguing, I'm just saying.
