They are taking measures to ensure its not too easy to impersonate other users. Seems like a good idea to me.
Agreed. I know it must be inconvenient to come across this thing. But people have to realize, it is done for a reason.
You wouldn't want anyone to pretend they're you online and ruining your credibility and reputation.
That certainly does seem to be their goal, but, imo, it's a bit extreme β especially given the context.
Which context ?
Just the environment where the impersonations are theorized to take place β given the type of people who likely use the service, the ways people interract on the site, what the site is used for... imo, it seems unlikely that changing an "a" to a "4" is going to result in a damaging impersonation.
It's a nigligible inconvenience for a significant increase in security. This sort of situation has happened before where different numbers and symbols are used to pass off as other users in online communities.
This community is called Mildly Infruating, after all π
I think you mildly infuriated some users here.
And nigligible didn't? You just got wooshed.
