I spotted this, and just wanted to post it for those of you who didn't:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Iorghe:
The big subject of namefiltering, where to start. First of we were planning on implementing this feature for a while. We just didn't get to it until recently.
This thread was spotted and Thanatos stood at my desk asking what the plans were with this particular subject. So here it is the final and by now implemented and functional name filter.
Naming convention for NC:BDoY has been discussed
Result:
No special characters like ^!"§$%&/()=? etc allowed
Only Alphabetical
The player may use 2 spaces in his name, none in the beginning, none at the end, no 2 spaces behind each other
they may use the '-' symbol once, it will count as a space, (for names like jean-jaques)
Only the first letter of each part of the name can be a capital nOt pOSiBLe-name
Examples:
Bad formatting:
DR00PY (zero's instead of 'o')
-=PWn@63=-
hEARTBREAKEh
NiN - TendO(space-minus-space)
rufus (space in front)
Good formatting:
Kenjuu Boushi
Ari-Gato Demo
Ari Gato-Demo
Wilfred Willy Wallace
Auto formatting:
When peoples put in names like:
hEARTBREAKEh
SUPER-DUPER SHOoTER
SUPer duPER-shoOTEr
The auto formatter will change them (without asking) to:
Heartbreakeh
Super-Duper Shooter
Super Duper-Shooter
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Damn it, that's gonna piss SO many people off, people who've had their own special nick for a LONG time. I've always had a normal sorta name, but I think BDOY might suffer greatly because of this. Anyone else think the same?
