In the Appendix rule “Names”, replace “may only include the 26 letters of the Latin alphabet, numbers, underscores, hyphens, full stops and apostrophes” with:-
may only include the 26 letters of the Latin alphabet, spaces, numbers, underscores, hyphens, full stops and apostrophes
For each Runner (and idle Runner) who included a comment on this proposal including the words “space please”: if that Runner has multiple capital letters in their player name, add a space before all but the first capital letter of that name.
I’ve just had to reject a player join request because their requested username had spaces in it. It seems like it’s probably just an oversight that we don’t allow this? It would explain why five of the players who’ve joined since last January have CamelCase names.
Withdrawn.
Josh: he/they
That prohibition is designed to prevent the recurring scam of players setting or changing their names to ruleset phrases as a way of hijacking their meanings. In that spirit, spaces are probably the most important bit; if we bring them back in then name-based injection becomes much more practical again.
