As for keeping track? technically only admins would know, what the users unmasked name is..?

The point of this isn't to mask your username with another username, it's meant to allow users to use custom formatting or images. For example, instead having AllenSam, I could have AllenSam and someone with the username Zero could use this image as their username:

Yeah, that's probably possible, but then people could abuse it and mask their name with stupid stuff and it would be hard to keep track of who everyone is, like everyone has been saying in previous posts.
