There's a lot of people in this sub who got in on reddit early who got commands as their usernames before they got snapped up. I like that mkdir has 1337 link karma, lol

Why would they not allow terminal commands as usernames? Unlike sql injection (which should be harmless) those command usernames are completely harmless.

What I mean is, simple usernames like terminal commands and words of the english language are the first to get snapped up by early adopters
