No new 1 character IGN's!!!

#TwoLetterNameCampaign

We need to keep the two letter names out in the open!

"it is necessary to implement this"

So how does 1 character IGN's affect the hacking situation, or the community, or the many bugs?

Are the hacking situation, or the community, or the many bugs the only reason that something would be necessarily needed?

I was just listing problems that we're currently facing, and wondering how IGN's out of all things help ANYTHING.

Backend stuff such as IGN Databases, and such. Files which have the IGN of the player could be easily mistaken.

Let's say you have code like this [just pulling around some numbers and letters; it's not even any universalized coding. I'll call it Hi Coding.]
Let's say the player's in game name was A

The "A" blends in with the actual code; so finding the player's in game name by looking at raw code would be difficult. This could be used when looking into the database [noone knows how the database is coded except for actual staff / not mods]

Now, let's say the in game name was something like MRFLUFFY1358

It could easily be seen.

Now, this is a terrible example, but it's just one example. Many things could be going wrong with 1 letter names, it could be something even as mediocre as too many people spamming support with 1 letter name requests.

All that matters is that it was a 5 minute fix, and you shouldn't worry about it.

Because codes are that random..
I'm pretty sure there is a line somewhere that specifically states their IGN and distinguishes it..
Doesn't really matter what kind of coding they use.. That's like.. really simple...
