    Hi,

    No it is not possible to increase/decrease the limit, even for guests. It might possible via JavaScript. However, if someone else will like to provide a code for this, then that will be their choice. But, as for now it isn't possible.

    Sadly stand alone characters can't be eliminated. However you can eliminate words.

    ACP --> General --> Username Censoring.

    Hello,

    Your best bet would be to use the username censoring feature as stated in the above post. This will prevent anyone registering with a certain character in their username.

    Just to add to what's already said, the username censoring does require you to enter a minimum of 3 characters. So you couldn't enter a stand alone character.

    If you would like to censor one particular character, simply use wildcards ( * symbol )

    For example, if the letter "a" was the character you wanted to censor, you could enter:

    Code:
    *a*
    ...into the field.

    Well the only thing you can do is what Base suggested and go through filtering each individual symbol.

    Glad I could be apart of helping you and I'm glad you got your issue sorted, or well at least kind of sorted.
