Invisible Characters in Usernames? - ᏙictorҮ - Jul 18, 2017
I heard this is allowed as long as it's not to bypass the 4 character limit.
I tried it, but it doesn't seem to work, does it have to be 2 words in my username to have it work or?
Cause I don't think trailing invisible characters are working..
Thanks

I got rep fucked for doing this, but I was using 1 character. I doubt it's allowed no matter what.

As long as you have at least 4 visible characters, it's OK

As long as you aren't using them to bypass the 4 character limit, it should be ok

I think that's impersonating. But I think we are assuming under the circumstances that the name I want is closed and like completely gone.

Allowed, but still a dog move. As long as you don't impersonate staff or mentors.

That sums it up nicely, thanks.
