Bans (Read Only) > Unapproved
This is highly unusual, but a pre-emptive ban - Levy "Shadey"

You may think so, but even for things like that coolz usually isn't too open to banning them without them having done anything on our servers.
Loke:
The regular servers instantly perma ban anyone with % in their name.
Atleast from what I learned.

But, as I said, Levy's name BREAKS that in a very simple way. The inclusion of quotes in the name. In any programming language where you work with literal strings, you need to double up on them, or have some means of showing that there are quotation marks just as part of a literal string, otherwise you get errors out the ass. Levy's name breaks the ability for name selection by taking advantage of that, try to choose his name and the kicker/banner will bug out since it can't tell if the name ends, and what all the extra crap after the quotation mark is.
Whereas we see " Levy "Shadey" ", the thing will only see "Levy", and thus will throw an error that it can not find the user name.

I don't think it even needs to use the full name though. But still doesn't matter. If he hasn't done anything on OUR servers, I don't think coolz will want him banned.
EDIT:
Just tested and it worked, even on the temp servers where you do need to type the name. I'm assuming there's a simple way to detect the quotation marks in the name as to not trigger the end of the name in the coding, or that it only needs part of the name to determine the player in-game. Either way it's not a problem.
