RomaniaI hate your messages O.D.W I have to scroll so far down to get to the end of the thread D:
Post note: a user by the name of IQ replied to my other thread.
Everything seemed normal at first, until someone tried to @IQ, which didn't work the first time. I was a bit confused as to why no one could @ him for like 30 minutes, so I tried to reach out to him and I eventually found him through someone that knew the owner of the account. We talked for a bit, but then I found something even stranger.
He sent me this GIF of him trying to change his theme. For some reason, whenever he tries to add a theme, he gets defaulted to this theme, and is unable to change the banner, the logo and the background image. I have no idea why this happens but this is an obvious downside and I don't think he's the only one experiencing this issue.
There is also @_ who has a rejected run that he did not submit, someone submitted a Brawl Stars Co-Op run with only 1 person (it was a rickroll) and the moderator couldn't leave the run with just 1 player so he had to put 2 other people and he put @_ and @__. So, there are some pretty big downsides as well that come from having these names.
For me it has its positives and negatives.
On the one hand, the length restrictions, as well as the word and character restrictions in the names (you can't have bad words in your name anymore, nor can you have . , - , @, or | ) , has finally made some usernames such as mine "rare". Until this change there weren't any names that were special, because you could basically take any of them that didn't have runs and that were inactive. I can understand why they added those restrictions since every major site has them (Instagram, Twitter, Twitch and so on).
But on the other hand, I still find it stupid that ELO added this months after they bought the website, this should've been one of the first things that they did. They didn't even warn us about this change which is rather big.
I've heard from the mods that they don't plan on removing those names that are now impossible to take because of the restrictions they added, and I don't think they should get rid of the special character names, it wouldn't make sense that they would only delete the special character names and not also deleting the ones that are now invalid. But that's just my opinion.
@Merl_ I randomly chose between the people I see all the time on the forums because I would've felt bad if literally no one that replies daily on the forums wouldn't be able to reply cuz of their name (also your name is pretty clean).
Pretty self explanatory, only cool names can reply (and Merl_), others can like the posts though.
I want to see how big of a chain we can get.
Q: What even is an OG name? A: An OG name is a name that is either a word from the dictionary (without any prefixes/suffixes) or a word that's very commonly used in day by day language (e.g. lol, Meme etc.). A combination of 2 words doesn't qualify.
