Reserved usernames

[BronzW]

I feel like usernames like @elonmusk and @dogehouse should be reserved.

@BronzW Are we going to have to make a list of all the names?

[BronzW]

If implemented, yes.

That's sounds like a good idea

How would this list be sourced? What about people that already occupy these names?

I feel like usernames like @ElonMusk and @DogeHouse should be reserved.

How about a simple list of accounts that are directly related to DogeHouse, ie @DogeHouse, @DogeHouseBot etc, and an appeal system where "Moderators" or "Admins" are able to grant usernames to high-profile people if contacted. If @ElonMusk wanted to join, he would register a account with DogeHouse, send a appeal (with proof, maybe using work email) to the ??modmail?? that his username be changed to @ElonMusk if someone else was registered with it.

Their username would be changed.

How about automatically authorizing someone of using one of these usernames if they are the owner of it on Twitter/GitHub? That way if Elon Musk were to join DogeHouse, there would not be a need for him to send anything as he could just log in using his Twitter account @elonmusk.

PS: I feel like all verified Twitter accounts should have their username reserved.

Yeah definitely since DogeHouse uses twitter for it's login system.

Could another idea be to let people use any username, and then make then change it for "impersonation" of people if it's on a list without proof?

Works too
