Today while testing changing username via an API call, I encountered a 422 error when attempting to change the name to a name with a space in it. Digging deeper, I quickly learned that the issue was due to the username restrictions of Discourse. Currently, I’m porting a legacy custom forum to Discourse, and the previous forum has a little over 240K users with spaces in their name, and the space restriction is a bit of a show stopper. Does anyone have any experience over-riding the restriction?
