Non alphanumeric username

Resolved
Fixed

There is a player named ü. The uuid is c6893ba47cfd4002abea33d4b1bd3f7a.

This is a legacy account that must have been created before usernames had proper restrictions.

It is possible to look this user up by uuid, but looking up by name (both u and ü) returns nothing.

Can you rename the account to u (and potentially other accounts with non alphanumeric chars) so it works properly with the API?

Also, are there accounts with usernames longer than 16 chars?

i found the name was updated to ü soooo WTF

@Wulf715 nope, that's only what happens when you try to view an UTF-8 encoded "ü" (0xC3BC) in ISO-8859 (which nobody should be using in 2015 anymore).

There's also users with names such as "G".

I don't think this is an issue, since that account has been revoked, so it's not technically valid.

@DevDylan that's a valid account with an alphanumeric character. Nothing wrong with it.

@unknown I was simply pointing out that old usernames, such as "G", were not removed or filtered after creation. "G" has too few characters to be a valid username with the modern system.

same with ez 😉
It wouldn't make sense to delete old accounts only because new rules disallow short usernames.

Thanks for fixing @KrisJelbring. Just wondering, did you make sure there are no similar accounts remaining?

@jomo u with two dots was never allowed. Also, these accounts haven't been used since before 2012

Obviously ü was allowed some time ago, otherwise it wouldn't exist. It doesn't matter whether they're used or not, it matters that they break things.
