Members with Special Characters in the Names
such as this one: http://hvac-talk.com/vbb/member.php?...9829;&%239829;
Is there a way to put a damper on that? They're hard to search.
Nest is POO!!

Only way to stop that is to deny it in the site rules.
-
Can that be added then, please?
Nest is POO!!

I will consider it and get back with you... right now I'm tied up with a loss of a family member.
-
My condolences.
Get out of here!
Nest is POO!!

It would make more sense to disallow anything other than standard English, alphanumeric characters and perhaps some common symbols like ?!*^%, but that doesn't appear to be possible.
Those hearts look to be an ASCII symbols.

The symbols that shouldnt be allowed are ones not readily available in a standard keyboard, touch or physical. Additionally +,*;@#$%^&()=!?:" as most of those have special functions in html and search coding. No special character should be allowed after a space as search engines often use them for special definitions. Though, that may be much harder to implement.
I cant search on hearts. Just as I cant (and wont) search on ascii penises which is very possible to make as a user name.

Charlie... too many characters to block so it would need to be done on a one to one deletion upholding the site rules.
It isn't that big of a deal as i see all who register each day.
Note: thanks guys.... when you lose your mother it's hard but it has been coming on for months and a known event. I'll shout and cry when all is over. God Bless our Mothers, each and everyone.

Why is it that those who complain the most contribute the least?
