XF 1.3 Block Alt Code and Ascii Characters?

[TDUBS]

Hello,

I am noticing users are registering on my forums with account names that contain alt codes and/or ascii characters in which I do not want on my forums. How can I block users from registering with these?

Example:

( ❄ Bella ❄ )

Thank you.

In your ACP, under user registrations -> User Name Match Regular Expression put

^[A-Za-z0-9 -_.]+$

Your welcome... but I can't take credit for it... I believe it was @Jake Bunce that originally relayed that information in a post.

In that case, thank you both!

Should probably create your own thread. Moderators/Developers tend to reply to new threads quicker.
