This mod goes beyond that. You can still enter names on that vB setting, but the mod will prevent people from using any symbols that you hadnt explicity allowed (through the mod options).

It works for symbols as well - you just enter them one at a time with a space between them. There are two problems with using the default system for symbols though - you have to list them all, and if the user tries to register using one of them they don't get a message telling them why - they think the username is taken. So your solution is definitely better. I was just wondering how the two systems interact - which is checked first, yours or the default?

BTW, here's what I currently have in my default illegal username field:

 admin moderator ' ! @ # $ % ^ &* ( ) + | - = \ { [ } } : ; ' " < , > ? / ~ ` ' www .com

I suppose I should remove all the symbols and leave the words?
