Honestly.
What is the point of not allowing names/underscores/periods in somebody's name? Does it glitch the server? Does it do any harm? I think it doesn't. It would be awesome for that to be re-allowed, people could have a TON more possibilities for names, and people wouldn't have to resort to xXoOTheEpicPerson1234OoXx type names.
One other solution to this, if ROBLOX doesn't want as many of these, is to make it more ROBUX to change your name to a name with Spaces/Underscores/Periods, maybe 1500 or 2000 robux. I think it would definitely be worth it, for all those people who really really want a username like that.

| So, basically what you are asking for is a name-change system but just with spaces? |

I guess
If ROBLOX admins don't have a problem with spaces in names, then make it so people can make an account with spaces in the names.
Also, underscores and periods are in this too

No support.
1) There is likely a reason they disallowed it in the first place. All I remember is that a couple of years ago, some people with spaces in their names had to reset their names to something else as it wouldn't let them login. Sometimes they also had to put something into the login box to symbolise a space, I believe. 2) It would allow people to imitate others. Putting a space before, or after a name or even a period - who's going to notice it? 3) It would allow people to stretch the chat, and leaderboard by putting a giant amount of spaces in the middle of their name, for example. |

They removed it so that players couldn't blatantly imitate moderators.
For example, fr33n00b1 decides his name is "Telamon "
Fr33n00b2 and ShedletskyMon see this name and because ROBLOX was so old at the time, one never sees the Admin symbol.
They assume he's the Famed "Telamon"
Then "Telamon" gets angry and yells at the ROBLOX developers to remove periods/underscores/spaces. |

yeah but people do that with letters anyway
periods and spaces wouldnt really make a difference.
and there would be rules like
you cant start a name with a period
etc etc. and there's a character limit. |
