User blog comment:TimmyQuivy/Introducing the UserRenameTool/@comment-9605025-20180209023109


 * No spoofing - We prevent users from registering usernames too similar to those already in use. This prevents user confusion and also prevents vandalism/abuse from people pretending to be an admin or staff. For instance, my username is “TimmyQuivy ”. We prevent people from registering “Timmyquivy” (no capital Q).

Does this only pertain to capitalization changes? I ask because there are already some usernames that I would consider fairly close. For example,
 * 1) KCCreations vs. Cckreations
 * 2) Cheettos vs. Cheetos8089 vs. Cheetos8089H
