Weird, right? It's like playing Final Fantasy VII and renaming all your characters to "Sephiroth". That's just stupid (but funny). I asked a friend so i don't know if it's true, but he told me that on their website (big big thing) username needs 4characters minimum because if someone is bruteforcing a login/password, he will enter before the system can track that there is a bruteforce going on. With a 4character name, the system have the time to react because it takes more time. I don't know if it's true. Basicly it told me that when they didn't have the restriction. Especially for the user A. That's how he told me :p - BruteForce Starting for user A - BruteForce found password -... - Security system : "Hey there is a bruteforce going on on the server". Yeah but it's already passed through.. | ||

What people care about is personal preference, I don't go around calling people stupid or weird for how they like to identify themselves. | ||

*insert stuff here* R *insert stuff here* D *insert stuff here* what a lame problem and name really, can't you think of any name other than RD? really? You have managed to write a long ass rant but cannot think of a creative way to have 3 characters for a name? I pity you. I remember something day9 once said, you should probably add "shadow" or "dark" to you name, makes any name sound cooler when you are 12. LOL Or you can be PORNO_SATAN, Horsebanger, actionjesus, manbearpig, PigBenis or DigBick | ||

I suppose you call it a tantrum because his very reasonably worded post was too long for your liking, or he actually showed some expression on the matter therefore "Meh, I had to read that much just for someone complaining about something I don't care about? Quit your whinging!" Maybe you should stop posting in threads about topics you don't care about.

Minimum password length should be long enough to detect an attempted bruteforce (especially since you are displaying the usernames for all the world anyway). | ||

Wait what? Rubbish? LOL complaining for the ID limit is a great problem to have, RIGHT? hahaha Where his problem is too small and can be solve by putting a 3rd character pre, in between or after the 2 letters, what did you suggest to help him? eh nothing.. I am thinking your RD in a different TL account LOL I am not suggesting he copies them, but maybe he could try to think for a better character to add to his RD and then guess what? he has no problems. PS all those names were allowed, I have seen them in ladder / forum. heck actionjesus played for a tourney so.. | ||

 I'd like to know a reason why a 2 letter ID isn't acceptable, if it's a security reason they could just add a warning in their terms of service that nobody reads and they would be covered for all and any complaints. lol I find it odd that people are perfectly fine with people using barcodes for their names but when somebody actually wants to use their nickname half of you want to crucify him for ever mentioning it. What a bunch of keyboard warriors. | ||

What a bunch of keyboard warriors.I am 90% sure it is a security reason or their system needs the name to have at least three letters in the account. And although the complaint is valid, the tone of the complaint is very entitled. No one would care if he said "Man, this sucks, I wish it was like this". But the tone is "I should be able to do this and its wrong that I can't. I shouldn't have to characters to my name that I don't want to. Its wrong." Most people are not objecting to the complaint, but the entitled tone the complaint. | ||
