(at least I think so.... if not - why?)

The same name is even allowed, which is annoying and confusing.

So how come this is even allowed when signing up? I don't mean anything about enforcing names, just it would be nice to not have tonnes of users with pretty much the same credentials... Something like a thing that prompts the user signing up with similar stuff to use a different name and stuff...

On most online things such as this you usually have to call yourself Username.122314141414 or something, but here you can get a few users with the same display name... It is nice feature being able to pick what you want, but there probably has to be regulation somewhere?
