@SanderValdur I wish Twitter would see this too, since there's an inactive Twitter account by this name too, but Twitter doesn't give a fuck
@SanderValdur I also find having to add random crap to the end of names because some dick has to squat your name is absolutely retarded...
@SanderValdur The whole point of these name changes were to allow people to get the name they wanted. But nope, "MUST BE UNIQUE". Stupid.
@SanderValdur ikr? Just checked through banlists, "Sephiroth" doesn't show up anywhere, aside from "Compromised account". ... Yeah, okay.
