Tango.info user name restrictions

A tango.info user name has exactly 8 letters of the latin alphabet. Preferred are names that are related to your real name.

The 8 letter usernames can be used directly in URLs, e.g. http://www.tango.info/tobiasco. To have no collisions with other names in tango, there are some naming restrictions in force.

Character restrictions

Only letters of the Latin alphabet are allowed.

Length restrictions

Currently all usernames must be exactly 8 characters long.

Reasoning:

• users that sign up later shall not have the disadvantage of longer names, vs users that sign up early and get shorter.
• presenting all usernames in a list gives a more harmonious picture if they are of equal length

Word restrictions

It should not:

• contain any of the words: tango, milonga, event, festival
• be a word (esp. not in English or Spanish)
  • singular, e.g. "marathon"
  • plural, e.g. "milongas" / http://www.tango.info/milongas
• be a name of
  • a geographic entity, e.g. a city "mannheim".
  • a person
    • common first name, e.g. "benjamin"
    • common last name, e.g. "pfeiffer"
