I don't quite understand exactly why ANY restrictions should be put on display names. After reading over Bobo's responses in various areas on the issue, I can't help but think Bobo doesn't even understand how the feature works.
Bobo has said he want's to minimize "clicks." That's a retarded reason in itself, but we'll go with it. The feature is disabled upon registration of an account, so the real actual username of someone is still displayed in plain view, not obstructed by any sort of access system such as clicking an avatar.
Bobo has also said he want's consistancy. The best counter to that would be how GFF has allowed theme weeks and name changes in the past anyways, that is permanent ones, not temp ones like display names would be. Also, of course, the feature is turned off by default to a newly registered user, so everything is still "consistant."
Any point Bobo brings up can be countered with the fact that the feature is off by default. What then is the problem here Bobo?
Jam it back in, in the dark.
