Question

Very weird glitch....happening with @tkhunny

Answer 1

Looked at all users...saw this

Answer 2

Thought it was a duplicate account, but it's the exact same name

Answer 3

Then if you refresh a few times...

Answer 4

So... what's the problem?

Answer 5

LOL
@TheSmartOne @Jaynator495 would be glad to explain this VERY strange glitch

Answer 6

@dtan5457 Umm you want to know that real story? :P

Answer 7

Soo OpenStudy updated and now allows symbols. So he took a dare and made a duplicate account of it which has a symbol in the name, which is a letter but gets unotticed. :P

Answer 8

So, the two accounts:

@tkhunnу
@tkhunny

Answer 9

Look at their profiles:
When you copy paste the fake account, you can see where the symbol is:
http://openstudy.com/users/tkhunn%D1%83

http://openstudy.com/users/tkhunny

Where as that is the real account ^

Answer 10

Oh, don't worry. From what I heard, The actual tk suspended that troll account :P

Answer 11

Sometimes i wish they didnt bring the symbols back -_-

Answer 12

For how long, I do not know. :P

Answer 13

probably as long as the mod got tired of holding the 0s after the 2 :P

Answer 14

And I had a LOT named after me. The attar user made a lot under my name for what reason I do not know.

Answer 15

But @Preetha this is something you need to look into:

Users who have ( or [ and ] or ) at the ends (the same one on both ends)

when you hover over their name, it shows them as the original account. It's very misleading and can be confusing. [including examples in next reply]

Answer 16

@(ಠ_ಠ) NOT a moderator but shows as if he is. (I believe this is Jay's account.)
Profile link:
http://openstudy.com/users/(%E0%B2%A0_%E0%B2%A0)#

Notice the ( and ) in the links.

@ಠ_ಠ The moderator
Profile link:
http://openstudy.com/users/%E0%B2%A0_%E0%B2%A0

I first found this problem with this account:

@Ran
Profile Link: http://openstudy.com/users/(%5Bran%5D)
His actual username is ([Ran]) but the system messes up

@Ran
Profile link: http://openstudy.com/users/Ran

Answer 17

@ಠ_ಠ
@ಠ_ಠ

The two moderator and not moderator accounts.

Answer 18

But it glitches and makes it show as if it is the moderator.

There can be a lot of impersonating issues with this. Especially for moderators and ambassador accounts.

Answer 19

And if a troll finds out about this, OpenStudy shall go crazy ;-;

Answer 20

yeah I saw that last night

Answer 21

And for some reason it keeps showing that account as online, when it is not.

Answer 22

Ohhh...I was unaware of the symbols...thanks for clearing that up. Thought it was some weird inception lol

Answer 23

wow !

Answer 24

:)

Answer 25

Im going to explain the face account... (jaynator495) would apear as (jaynator495)

(tso to be honest i actually tested this on a account made with your username x'D i did (thesmartone) because i was curious... however it appeared as (thesmartone) the parenthesis disapeared in the name, however it showed the right user)

Answer 26

The only way that (jaynator495) would appear as jaynator495, if it was forged via a glitch

Answer 28

Now i also had made a account that was eyeballs... i logged onto that account with the parenthesis, (i made it long ago LOL) and it had a conflict between the 2 accounts, because there was 2 accounts with the same exact name, due to that, on that account the parenthesis still show

Answer 29

If you remember tso, i messaged you from the account long long ago xD

Answer 30

You cant use () or [] in usernames, it is "not a valid username"

Answer 33
