Hi, I've had a small idea for scratch. Basically, the way it would work is on a profile, it would have your display name above your username, displaying larger than it. It'd be a nice way for scratchers to display, say, shad0w!dev for me. What I'm saying is that a way to show your professional name without any text restrictions (e.g. no ! * “ etc) would be nice.

Another idea is that in settings you could change your username, which would be available once a month. Anyone who's following you would also get a notification that you'd changed your username if they have it toggled on (also available in settings), so they could see if you'd changed it and not get confused.

I hope you enjoy the ideas! Thanks!

8.1 Changing usernames or changing display names
If a user could change their username (or even set a certain “nickname” or “display name”), this could be very confusing for the Scratch community, especially for those following that user. In addition, this would make moderation of the website more difficult because it would be harder for the Scratch Team to keep an eye on what a user may be doing. The Scratch Team has allowed username changes only on very rare occasions, such as if the username contains personal information or causes gender dysphoria. Generally, the Scratch Team does not change usernames on request (including for reasons such as “I do not like my current username anymore”).

However, because of the way that usernames are stored on the server, changing the cases of letters in your username (for example, changing @Za-Chary to @ZA-CHARY) is NOT rejected; you can discuss it on this topic.

Dang, that's unfortunate but very valid. Thanks for telling me!

How did you manage to get the combo involuntarily
