Duplicate Profile Names

Why are duplicate profile names allowed.

This is causing confusion between members.

I use the profile name for game play names in our game servers.77hjpbgwluvgjqhpuhivyxu9uinltscm.jpg

      • I agree Michael, this is not going to be easy to manage, especially since we do not like in dolphin, the visual cue of the avatar.
        The problem is I think linked to the use that is made of it
        In the case of a pure social network, the field is used as "Full Name", in this case it is almost indispensable to authorize it because in reality there are many people who have the same name and first name , As is the case on Facebook.
        But in his case as in mine, this field serves rather as a pseudo. And in this use, we are going to have really many identical names.
        So could we not have an option to swap full name <=> Pseudo mode and in this case activate unique field?
        I know, you will say, UNA is made for social network, for the rest use Dolphin ... Yes, but you have made UNA very attractive, and you have here two users who try to do something original and concrete with him...
        Full Name is fine, but does it really tell anyone who does not care about their privacy? For example, here who?
        ---------------
        So I do not really understand what the account name serves, especially since it is not a unique field.
        Upon enrollment it is a bit disturbing. By reflex you write there a nickname, then on the following page, you are asked to create a profile.
        Hey, what did I put in account name? Already forgotten ...
        Why not hide this field and put a numeric ID instead?

        • I renamed mine to "in game name" and the members totally get it in my situation.

          I ended up changing the member's name.

           

          • Nathe Forden is right. We've added an option to mark field as uniq in Studio Pages builder in 9.0.0-RC1 updates.

            • good idea like that the problem is solved, thanks to you

              • @Alex T⚜️ don't mean to revive a old topic, but I have been looking for this setting, can someone point me to it?

                Thank you!

                • Hello @Wise !

                  If you mean the "Unique" option then it is available in the field's settings.

                  • Found it! Thank you.
