History: Back in 2005 and 2006, users were allowed to have spaces in usernames as well as more than one underscore in their name. This is the reason why we got users such as "John Doe", "LUKE SKYWALKER", and "im bored", but due to some unknown reason, ROBLOX got rid of it, restricting the use of spaces in usernames and limited the underscore use to one. Because of this, it has lowered the username possibilities.
I would like spaces to be allowed in usernames once more as it will allow more possibilities and creativity for usernames.
If anyone agrees with me, please feel free to let me know. |

I do not support this, because users can make usernames like "Shedletsky" With a space next to it or something, meaning they could impersonate people and stuff. And even if roblox adds spaces back and restricts putting other usernames in your username, people can still work around it and stuff.

| Can't they make a rule stating that usernames can't start or end with spaces, like with underscores? |

They could, actually, but I still don't support it. It's something that you would take long to get used to. Like if you see some guy in the game named "im bored" it takes a long time to accept it and get used to it.

About the fake guest flaw, ROBLOX could just add a restriction to any name that matches "Guest (Number Here)" that says "Username not appropriate for ROBLOX". They did it with "ROBLOX_STAFF", how hard could it be? |

scenario popular user has name Duo_Nice space update comes out someone registers name Duo Nice and impersonates him
scenario 2 person makes account "all PPLareHEROES" he trolls in a cafe admin says :ban all PPLareHEROES admin thinks "all PPLareHEROES" is arg1 of command but all of the sudden everyone gets banned because script interpreted "all" as the target player (arg1) and "PPLareHEROES" as the reason (arg2)

| I do not support because the username system could go without having spaces. |

Scenario 1 is already happening. People use a capital I so it can look like an lowercase "L" and vise versa. People can name themselves "Duo_NlCE" and it will look like the real thing.
Scenario 2: There's a user called "all" and I bet the same thing happens. |

| I support. Scenario 1 already happens with L/I. Scenario 2 should not even be considered - it is not ROBLOX's fault that some free model admin script does not use any sort of special identifier to distinguish groups vs player names. |

the account "all" is an inactive acc that wont ever be signed into, the same thing doesnt happen Iowercase L is pretty easy to spot, there's some pixels on the right of it
and what if someone names himself "others arecool" or "me mes"?

it ruins old accounts and roblox said no to this suggestion several times, they met us halfway by allowing an underscore, if they didn't say no then we'd already have spaces

"it is not ROBLOX's fault that some free model admin script does not use any sort of special identifier" it is not the developer's fault either that ROBLOX releases an unexpected update without warning, many scripts would be broken too

just no. Roblox is fine even without spaces on usernames. It will just make things harder that didnt sound as good as it was in my mind.

Borsy, like I said, admin scripts would fail. And you can blame that entirely on poor design choice. ROBLOX was too happy to screw up script builders to "fix exploits" by removing clientside loadstrings. (Yep. You SURE killed off exploiting...) so why should anyone care about a bunch of poorly made games that rely on an admin script to function?

"user meshes" that was because they were small at the time and couldn't handle reviewing every mesh, not because the community yelled at roblox
@inter roblox isnt gonna add a "feature" (more like a bug) that is gonna break all admin scripts and most other games
