So i guess this will be moved to denied.
yup. bye bye idea.
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.
indeed, but that's spaces, and different letters and such added on. not caps and such 
oh yea. sometimes you can see them saying "pen (global mod)" in parentheses like that...

if people would just use their brains (asking pm, verifying everything, using MM) then sthe would be a much better place...
