@Oreo321 , @Pear that's not true I don't think, it's just certain accounts either

1.) Don't exist

2.) Have pings disabled

Edit: Nvm, this used to be a feature but now it has to be a non-space character, that's weird

Also interesting that banned users get a free icon of their pfp next to their name, which I found out by checking out their profiles.

https://www.speedrun.com/user/9

https://www.speedrun.com/user/5

When you hover over the icon it doesn't say "original donator" like non-banned people.

@Sizzyl It doesn't say OG donator because they aren't OG donators. Anyone can have an icon now. Also what you described is not a bug, they're banned because they're alts of the exact same guy who put his pfp as a badge.

btw

I am number 1

Every character which is not a normal letter, digit or a dash; is considered a special character. You have to URL-encode them, and then put it in the user profile url. For example, to access user @ you write: https://www.speedrun.com/user/%40

Isn't that a newline character? That would be funny lol

Edit: The absolute geniuses at ELO decided to host this site on machines running the insecure Windows Server OS. So actually being a newline might break something (assuming the site was coded by a monkey) since Windows uses \r\n instead of \n

Curious, as someone unfamiliar with this, what would this impact?

I don't actually know, but I do know that speedrun.com is 75% spaghetti, so probably something. (also \r\n is the HTTP standard)
