Problem Details:
Was thinking about changing my name to one that has the character "~" in it but it says I can't because that is an invalid character. Shortly after reading this, I saw a user with those characters in their name. Is there a reason that this user was allowed to use it?



Video or screenshot showing the problem:

Also, I didn't include a picture because I'm not sure if posting another user's profile is allowed.

That character is not valid. The characters valid Numbers "0-9", letters "A-Z", "_", "-", "[]" and spaces. I think I didn't forget nothing.

And please, do not make double posts. Use the edit button instead.

So how is it that a user is able to have this? Was just curious to find out the reason.

Well... I think it's the first time I see this. I don't know what happened there, but it is an invalid character.

Well if it was a mistake then there's nothing we can do about it. I was just wondering what the reason was.

Let's wait for someone to confirm this, but like I said earlier, I think it's the first time I see this. It could be probably an error.

Well that's disappointing. Alright well thank you. I'm sure I'll think of another name.

It's possible that ~ wasn't considered an invalid character when that person created his account.
Kind of like this guy having a 20-character username.
You'll have to live with the current username restrictions though.
