Lumireaver Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I don't like spaces. They show up as %20 in urls. _'s are better and accomplish the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slurmageddon Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Underscores are better but I do think there should be a little notification when you make your Alias, that gently informs you that other people will have to type it in order to invite you and if your name is t3rm1nin1rTa3rt (random example not real) then no one is going to want to invite you to anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also hate when people append "xXx" to the front and back of their name as though they deserve to framed with some kind of alphanumeric "special-ness." Burn the heathens. Underscores are ugly. Butt ugly. Then type in CamelCase. There are better solutions than spaces. Spaces are butt ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumireaver Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Noitlooksstupidandistentimeshardertoread.Spacesarefarsuperior. That's not CamelCase. Firstly, CamelCase is generally reserved for names and crap. Not entire sentences. (If you're a programmer, you use camelCase by capitalizing the second word an not the first. Naming things like that is automatically cooler.) Secondly, you didn't even capitalize anything except the first letter of each sentence. I hope you don't name your files with spaces.

Toom1275 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Spaces in forum names should be okay, but it could cause problems in-game. I'm pretty sure /w uses a space to tell the difference between the alias you want to whisper to and what you're trying to say. Spaces in an alias would mean that some other symbol would be needed to separate the two, which would very likely lead to more PM's popping up in the wrong chat windows.

Brimir Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 Oh come now. Allowing spaces in usernames is quickly becoming standard nowadays. The technology to pull it off is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyaldyn Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Oh come now. Allowing spaces in usernames is quickly becoming standard nowadays. The technology to pull it off is there. Why use /w "Bri mir" hello, when you can use /w Brimir hello? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brimir Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 Obviously this isn't the alias I had in mind would spaces be allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
