How to deal with odd characters in names

[Vlaid]

I'm not sure if this is still an issue. But last I knew names with odd characters in the name would occasionally cause problems when hostiled.

Is it possible to have some kind of check on character names in the portals to leave the starting area? It could be set to refuse any characters with names that don't meet the approved naming criteria.

Just thought I'd throw this out there as my last PC that had a - in the name was assumed to be the cause of several crashes and I've seen a lot more special character names than normal recently.
