Change of email

While Github allows for 3-character-names, this NodeBB-forum usually accepts names starting from 4 characters. The inconsistency lies in the registration process when using Github-credentials for registration here, as in that case the minimum character requirement obviously is not checked, as I assume.

When registering independently from other credentials, this forum would not allow 3-character names.

@Panther Then, in my opinion, it would be advisable the TripleA lobby accepts no less than 4 characters, as well, since I'm under the impression that most users like to have the same name there. I don't know what's the current limit.

@Cernel Alternatively we could reduce the minimum character requirement for usernames to "3" for our forum.
This is an administrative setting. It is "4" at the moment.

However I agree consistency over different platforms would be desireable.

RoiEX

I wouldn't mind either way

SilverBullet

i was thinking to be more up with "the times" and appear "cooler" with the young kids i should become "the artist formerly known as SilverBullet",,, or simply "SB"!

Panther

@prastle What do you think?

Panther

@0az I suppose changing your email-address might work, once we reduce the minimum character requirement. So maybe just hold on until this will be decided.

0az

Either way sounds good to me. ^_^

I created a bug report over at NodeBB: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/8418

I also lowered the minimum character requirement for now to 3 characters. Please change your email ASAP and report back once you're done and I'll change it back until we figure out a general rule.

0az

@RoiEX Done. Thanks!

prastle

@SilverBullet Giggles ... I am fine if you want to adjust it to 3 in admin up to you guys. As @RoiEX said i am fine either way.

RoiEX

Changed it back to 4 for now, until we agreed on something
