I know this has been asked a lot, and I have seen them all, but I know how to make it work, and I am surprised no one has been able to come up with this easy fix on their own.

Whenever someone says that ROBLOX should allow spaces in names, they always say "Then people will make their name 'Shed let sky!'" My idea is that you can put spaces in your names, but when ROBLOX checks if it has already been used, it will take the spaces out and check if there are any of the same name without the spaces, also when you use a name and it is checking if its already taken, names with spaces will also have the spaces taken out.

Sorry if my sentences are too long for you, I like them long. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

This was actually allowed in 2006 but not anymore.

Verdict: No Support
Reason: They removed it so there must be a reason why not.

Have Fun but not too much you never know what might happen.

No support because imposters would be so common

First of all: I read the entire post.
Second: My opinions still stand
Lastly: You can not terminate an account for not reading a whole forum before they reply or most forumers would be terminated.

^^^^^^ That awkward moment when you point out something about someone, and someone else thinks you meant them, so they freak out.

oh me. right.

well, off the top of my head

it says in your OP that

''My idea is that you can put spaces in your names, but when ROBLOX checks if it has already been used, it will take the spaces out and check if there are any of the same name without the spaces, also when you use a name and it is checking if its already taken, names with spaces will also have the spaces taken out.''

that definitely singles out my imposter backlash, but

spaces would most likely count as characters too if this update were to be implemented. that would also mean that someone could create a name that isn't taken, yet it could also be a good 50% or more made up of spaces.

and the part about

''also when you use a name and it is checking if its already taken, names with spaces will also have the spaces taken out.''

reality turns out to be that it kills off imposters, however it doesn't help much at all in terms of creating your own name. you still end up making a name but this time, you can add spaces. so instead of making a username called

entitledpilot

it can now be

entitled pilot. it does look a bit nicer, but entitledpilot would still get the main idea across

so the point that is trying to be put across is this: i'm not saying this suggestion is bad, i'm just saying it might not be needed. there are lots of creative names that do not require spaces, and like i said above, if it became part of the 20 character limit, it would kind of restrict rather than help.

Checkmate.

I can't tell you guys how may times I look at names like "entitledpilot" and it takes me 5 minutes to find out it isn't "entitle dp ilot" or "enti tled pilot." Well not really, but you get the point, it's hard to read AND ugly.

It doesn't.

If you've only got a space, then a name, it's hard to tell.

Original:

LickMetal

A space:
LickMetal

But if someone does

LickMetal

instead of

LickMetal

Without the space they would match and the person will be told its already taken, these people don't get it

If someone types

Shedletsky

It will say "Already Taken."

No support, many scripts would break for people with spaces in their user name.

M'kay.

Guest accounts are counted are usernames, so you can't take them. I don't see how a space would break a script.

You can't be an imposter, read the thread, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

Added:

- You can only have 3 spaces in your name
- You need at least 2x as many letters/numbers as there are spaces in your name.
- You can not put spaces before or after your name.

I fixed all the complaints.

If you add a space then it'll not know its already taken.

And that's why it would ignore the spaces while checking for the name, someone please, get me a shotgun and bring me some smart people instead of these rejects.

Just because we don't support this f_cked up idea doesn't mean we aren't smart.

Go cry somewhere else.
