Please see this[^] post and its context. The post is not from me.
I realise that it is only a joke and am not offended by it but I do feel that the ability to do this sort of thing is somewhat undesireable, to say the least.

Why not just change your id to Rajesh R Subramaniac and get some sweet revenge.
It's time for a new signature.

I am above such childish pranks.
Besides, I didn't think of it.

Nevermind everybody, I've decided that this is really just funny and doesn't need any further attention. Thanks anyway!

It's a fairly obvious imitation, though I'm not excusing it. We do already have in place tools that disallow spoofing another member's name by using alternate characters.
Edit: looks like we missed out on one of the alternate letters. I'll add it.

I wonder if you got all the letters, Chriﯼ Mﮫunder. 
Maybe an AI algorithm to detect similarities in letters would be appropriate (though probably entirely too much work).

I think I got most of the ones that actually count.

You might want to add one for a fairly convincing "r", Chris Maundeг.

Can this be done completely? There are literally hundreds of letters that one could pick from the Unicode character map (which would resemble a given alphabet). I'm curious to know what would be the approach.
May be I can do hack tests after you're done implementing it?

Shouldn't it be fixed user name ? or changes may have some delay like 2 hrs.

Hey man, I sincerely hope you didn't take it seriously.
I was wanting to just have some fun. And on the flip side, we've together shown Chris some more combinations that should be blocked.

Hey yourself, Rajesh.
No problemo. I actually thought it was pretty funny.
I only reported it because, as you say, it ought not to be possible, really.

Not for the nerds of our kind. 
I think I'll do some hack tests and report Chris of the outcome after they implement the fix.

Sounds like the same White Page bug others have seen.
This has been a tricky one. There are two issues I'm looking at (well, 1 I have half a dozen people looking at, and 1 I'm pondering very, very deeply).
Neither of them really make sense.
We'll fix it, though.

If I have the reply to page open for an extended period of time (more than 10s of minutes) composing, it is more likely to happen.
If I post it, and it fails, I can 'back' to the page and copy the text.
If I leave the text in and hit 'back', it goes to the thread.
If I remove the text and hit back, it warns me I will lose work.
If I cancel and then try it again, it warns me again.
If I paste the text back into the text box, and hit 'back', it doesn't warn me.
It's like it is inverting a 'contains text' flag.
Could that make it flake on the send?
