Disable Emojis from usernames
Emojis instead of words is a cool and fun feature but am I the only one bothered when these are used in usernames?

Caine MergedIn the chat window people have taken to creating usernames like "SheepSheep" so that their username shows up as 2 sheep cards in the chat window. Pretty annoying. Hard to determine what was distributed.

m MergedAgreed. It makes the game-log a little harder to read.

Mike BoardmanAs DudleyDoWheat playing against players like Mr. Sheep and GoodWood this was intentional on our part.

Erik MergedIf a player name contains a string like 'Wheat', it will be substituted with the grain resource icon in the game log and chat. It would be better to keep the player name unchanged, like in the player list or stats.

Graham McMullen MergedAs you can see in the image, the player's username is MasWood but whenever they participated in the chat, their name was affected by the bank of words the system is looking for. Can this feature be eliminated from player names and only affect words that are typed?

Archit MergedOne of the bots was named 'Wood' and in the Activity Corner, the name 'Wood' was getting automatically converted to the wood symbol.

ErikA spectator came into a game and his name included the red city icon. He had selected a name that included "city". For some reason the city was red, which was the color of a player in the game. Showing these icons in user names makes no sense and showing them in a spectator's name with the color of one of the players makes even less sense.
I guess that registered users could do the same with "settlement" because they can pick names longer than 6 characters. "road" and "ship" does not seem to be substituted in chat messages and therefore not in player/spectator names either. -

ErikA player had different names in different messages in the game log. Examples:
"<pirate><city(red)> selected: <sheep> from gold tile"
"MrWobbly is stealing from <pirate><city(orange)>"
Here "<pirate><city(red)>" and "<pirate><city(orange)>" refer to the same player but are shown differently. (Can not attach the screenshot here.) If you insist on this ridiculous feature, at least show the right color in every message. -

ErikFound another example of a player (bot) having different names in different messages:
"Orelee got: <brick> <wool>"
"Manoff stole <resource card back> from <ore>lee"
The problem is that "Ore" is not substituted with "<ore>" but " Ore" is substituted with " <ore>". Notice the space before "Ore". That is required for the substitution. -
