I have two suggestions for this addon.
1. Add the blocking of accented characters (ie: é) as an additional option.
2. And/or allow for blocking of repeating characters of three consecutive or more. (This is the more important of the two suggestions.) For example: Mikéé or Mikee would be allowed, however usernames such as Mikééé, Mikeee, eeeeee, or éééééé would be blocked.
I already have a need for this feature, do you think these are viable additions to your plugin?
I have just noticed a really odd situation. While in my ACP, I noticed that this plugin was installed twice (Configuration>Plugins). My Configuration>Settings also listed it twice.
The older one only had seven options and seemed to be using the files that had the plural version of the name (strictUsernames.php instead of strictUsername.php)
The newer one had eight options and used the allow/reject dropdown menu at the top of it's own settings page.
Both of the plugin listings said they were v1.5.
I disabled and uninstalled Strict Usernames from my board. I went so far as to log into my web server via FTP and delete all of the Strict Username plugin install files that I could find (inc/plugin, inc/languages/english, inc/languages/english/admin). I only installed the English files.
The current version (with eight options) was removed, however the older version with seven options still shows up in the board's Configuration>Settings list, but does not show up in the Configuration>Plugin page.
Any ideas on how I can remove this older version of Strict Username?
