Nickname Invalid

I wish to log in with "=CH=Hrdhrd" but I'm being told the name is invalid - does that mean taken or can I not use the '=' sign?
Thanks.

Okay so nobody willing to help me?

Obviously I was wrong about the '=' sign - it IS allowed.
Have they got rules only one accound per IP address?
I have tried different email accounts and that did not work.

I also tried 10 different (jibberish) nicknames and says they are not acceptable?

Appreciate any help - PLEASE!

Not 100% sure, but lets start with a bit of understanding about code.
If you use non ASCII characters you will get rejected.
That's because some of them made up C code strings and commands.

So Jiri limited the names ant messages to ASCII characters only.

I am not sure about HL, but in some programs, including Windows, you are not allowed to use characters that create
potential commands or equasions.

Also spaces are not allowed at all in a name.

I hope this helps.
