Why would you refuse certain characters? My last name contains a dash and one letter with a diacritic. I am beyond tired of playing whack-a-mole trying to guess what rule I violated with my "invalid name."
And fuck companies who have the gall to call my name "invalid" to my face, too. Have some thought before you write an error message. "Contains an invalid character" wouldn't be insulting, for example.
- remram 3y agoI am talking about usernames, not names. My first name also contains an accent, maybe direct your rage somewhere else? If nicknames appear in URLs for example, or are a way to direct messages at someone (e.g. github.com/<nick>, @<nick>), using non-ASCII characters is a bad idea.
