Ticket details:
I didn't want to open an issue for this, since it's not directly related to the game, but now it seems better than opening a new support ticket for every question. I'd rather talk about it in the forum, which I tried to create an account for twice, about two months ago. With both tries I never got the activation mail, even after requesting to resend it. I sent a message to admins in both cases but didn't get any reaction there either. My question on the subreddit got no response either.
I have a hunch that it ""might"" be because the chosen name started wit a number, although I don't remember getting an error message about an invalid user name. I never had issues with that before, only the + sign often wasn't allowed in other places. But I did get an error when I tried to create this account here on the platform, complaining about an invalid UNIX character, which still doesn't really make sense to me. Anyway, it worked with the current user name, that's why I think it might be the leading number. The names I tried to use were 3+4i and 3plus4i. I would have alternatives there but I've run out of email addresses, they are reported as being already i use now, even though the accounts aren't usable. Are the admins of the forum here? If you could remove those zombie accounts I could try again with my alt user name and finally be able to talk and ask on the forum. Not being able to get any responses was crushing my motivation, until I asked for support here.
