Don't allow Symbols in Username

[Uwe Schwarz]

A lot of people have been scammed due to impostors using Symbols.

I don't blame a person who have been scammed by Impostor by not being so careful and cautious when doing transaction but I hope the Admin and Staff make a move to stop Impostors as they keep still doing it even they got ban many times here as they can easily make another account.

They mostly used Symbols like this ( ' ) to make impostors and target a careless person.

NOT allowing Symbols in Username is a great way to stop imposters doing like this.

Whoever disagree with this is surely have something in mind.

We've said this multiple times before, with the introduction of IM you have to be really dumb to get scammed by an impostor. We can only dumb it down so far.

In either case, it's not just symbols. People use similar characters and replace other letters of usernames too.

newly registered users shall be barred from messaging regular (non seller) users because What they do is look at the latest responses on threads and direct message them to lure and scam!

Posting replies on forums and direct messaging are two different things.
