Can't Capitalize Username

Fri Nov 05, 2004 11:29 pm

You can capitalize neopets names, but not usernames. That's kind of stupid. Yeah, I know about the glitch awhile back where you could create two of the same usernames by changing case (i.e. Donna and donna or dOnna perhaps) I wasn't born yesterday. But they fixed that same problem with creating neopets and you can still capitlize their name. So they must be able to do it with usernames now.

You've been able to capitalize pets names but not usernames for a looong time now. I joined in Year 2 originally, I think, and it was like that. Perhaps and older member of Neo can confirm this?

I do believe I remember seeing a username capitalized way back in the day... My guess is that you could a loooooong time ago, but not anymore.

Yeah, I know that. I'm just saying if you can capitalize Neopet's names, then why can't you capitalize Usernames? Anyone know?

I'm just saying it because my username is xtinct831 and it looks better with a capital X. But, I'm kind of a perfectionist and most people probably don't care.

Maybe because so many people hate it when people type their pets names LiKe ThIs, so they disabled capitalization in usernames?

But someone could still create a pet called, "LiKe ThIs" so what's the point?

I believe someone once made an account called "Hrobi" and it deleted "hrobi"'s account.
Or so I've heard.
But hrobi being an old staff member and all got her account back.

One Word: Scammers.

Scammers can easily creat an account called AdAm, bOrOvAn, DoNnA, ECT. To scam people (wow, i would never ever have guessed scammers scammed people xD)

He? HE?! I'm a girl! Don't worry, you're #24627 to make that mistake. :lol:

Yeah, that's what I meant. Weird capitalization is so horrifyingly annoying... And a whole bunch of accounts like that... *vomits with disgust*

Oh... sorry. I could have sworn I added an 's' but must not have pressed down hard enough or something. *Shifty Eyes*

I hate weird capitalisation also. And I'd vomit, too, but... that's so disgusting... yeck!

You could just have it like the pet names, so 'HelLo' couldn't be created if 'hello' already is.
