I’ve noticed that if your Replit username begins or ends with a hyphen or even contains one, like -hi or -hi-, the forum automatically converts it to hi. This poses an issue because there might be an existing user on the main site with the name hi, for instance. If this user decides to join the forum, they wouldn’t be able to use the username hi since it’s already taken. This could potentially be a bug or an issue. I’m uncertain if this has come to your attention, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
A small example is @Pikachu; their username appears as Pikachu, but in reality, it’s actually @-Pikachu-.
Yeah, that’s only assuming that hi has an existing account on the forum. If not, -hi will be able to take it, which might cause issues. If hi ends up joining, they might want their original username back because they obviously have the “real” username without any hyphens.
