While there's nothing "wrong" with it in the sense of following the standard, it's nice to be able to help people spot mistakes when entering things.
With email I warn on weird input, but accept provided it's compliant since the goal is to help - the miniscule fraction of people with email addresses who have really peculiar addresses are far fewer than those who make typos when entering them. '_' isn't really peculiar, though.
- viraptor 11y ago> help people spot mistakes when entering things I completely agree. Here's how it should work: "your email abc+def@example.com is valid but looks unusual, are you sure it's your email? ok/cancel". Not: "your email is invalid, guess which of our made up rules it violates". But you're in a tiny minority of people who handle this properly.
- ansgri 11y agoI thought using email+tag is quite common nowadays to auto-sort the letters, and the site which doesn't support it is absolutely breaking the email experience.
