    Do you mean, when you login, you can write the name: Cp or CP instead of cp?
    Are you sure? I see alot of people with caps at the start, and some with none.

    No. Bad.

    As Viper said, if you're stupid enough to mistake them, you don't deserve to be on Sythe.

    Just cause I feel like explaining WHY it works like that.


    Sythe uses something called a database, and in this database there are rows and columns, one column is the username column. Lets go to the row 161030. The id number (primary key) is 161030, the username column would read "SwiftSeller" and then whatever other data there is would be scattered about in various tables.

    However, when logging on, to prevent sql injection, it makes all the names a particular case, and matches them that way. Which also prevents creating other names because the code also makes the names a certain case to match those, instead of just matching them verbatim.


    On a side note... Does anyone remember the guy that got around this and kept making Annex` accounts?

    But if you type pen into a pm list and it gives you a drop down list of all things that begin with the letters p e n you'll see there are several intimidators.
