You can only have a username that has 5 characters or more, yet some have usernames under 5 characters. What's the situation with that? (doesn't really matter, curiosity)
This restriction was put in place very recently and only affects new users or current users that are trying to change their name, but as all changes in rules, they don't apply retroactively, meaning any users that already have usernames under 5 characters get to keep them.
Yeah, sucks. Why have the restriction? I like punchy usernames...but that's just me acting like a silly child
I'm not sure why they restricted the username length, but I'm almost certain that they restricted the special characters in names because they don't always work with forum mentions or when you put them as the runner/verified of a run (for example the username "Kai." doesn't tag to the correct user and instead tags to @Kai).
Given that they were in the process of restricting special characters, I guess they just thought they should restrict the username length while they were at it to be more in line with other sites.
Nah buddy, you're in the 5 letter club like me. Those cool guys are the ones with "under" 5 (SioN, the elite, and a cool guy)
im the even more cool guy i have a . in my name
See, I was sad at first because mine's technically 6 characters, but then I remembered I have 3 "." in my name.
im so heckin cool
Every single one of us is special, even without a Name with Special thingys or names under five letters. We all are really cool!
