Overview
A tango.info user name is bound by some restrictions.
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" / https://tango.info/milongas

- a geographic entity, e.g. a city "mannheim".
- a person
- common first name, e.g. "benjamin"
