trademark in users' forum name

[Blue Stealth]

Just wanted to suggest that users not be able to include "tm" inside their username on the forums because it shows up as this

=(e)=™

and to me, ™ is very confusing and not allowing the "tm" would solve some organization problems.

Users aren't supposed to put the tag on their forum name so this shouldn't be a problem.

alright i was just wondering because i have seen tons of ™ and it looks very stupid and is confusing. Is it possible to filter names when joining so when people create their accounts it could detect that the user tried typing in "trademark" and refuse to accept their name?

Not a huge deal but its pretty annoying when trying to get steam id's, account names, etc.

Yeah i agree with this but they aren't allowed? Im not 100% sure but i know it gets confusing if you do see it.

I dont really understand this... if the name is not one you want others using, dont use it at all.

It's simply a case of encoding, this site is (i believe) coded in Unicode as opposed to Western.If this bugging you, it is simply a case of changing the character encoding in your browser.

You can see what i mean in firefox by doing

View > Character Encoding > Unicode (UTF-8)

However, this doesnt work over a long period of time i believe.
