the way you validate a real name is no you don't
the way you validate an email address is by sending a Fuckimg email
@videogame_hacker the amount of arguments I have had with people about this is stressful
@videogame_hacker no field with name related information (names/emails/even addresses) should be immutable
@andysomniac @videogame_hacker and yet they are. And i sent out 5+ support emails to change them.
@andysomniac @videogame_hacker fuck gmail, my main email is deadname
@videogame_hacker There are *multiple* websites out there that won't accept .co.uk as a valid email, because it has too many dots after the @
@MxCraven @videogame_hacker aliexpress didn't accept "aliexpress@mypersonaldoma.in"
@MxCraven @videogame_hacker and yes, the problem was it containing "aliexpress"
@julialuna @videogame_hacker Theyn don't want people doing the name+aliexpress@domain thing because it'd prove they were selling your data
@MxCraven @videogame_hacker imagine having $popularThing@gmail.com
and having all the $myname+$popularThing emails go to your inbox
@julialuna @MxCraven @videogame_hacker I stumbled across this as well, had to shorten it >_>
@MxCraven @videogame_hacker regex is hard.
@videogame_hacker @MxCraven I was joking
@videogame_hacker I personally also accept validating email by checking if it matches the spec using that absolutely colossal regex floating around on the internet, mostly because it's an absolutely colossal regex and I love those
@videogame_hacker Yeah, just make the first part of the registration form just a e-mail field and then send to that e-mail the link to the second part.
your name field better be mutable as all hell too, fucker
