As many of you know, the ♦ tag is for moderator use only (e.g. Moderator name ♦). However, suppose a user adds this to the end of their name. Is there a set consequence for this? Will they lose their reputation, or will their account be banned?

I do not want to add this diamond, I'm just wondering what would happen if I did.

    I assume it's not allowed, but I haven't tried. Why don't you try it "for science!"? :)

    @Shokhet It's not worth the risk if my account gets banned. :\

  • If you made it clear that it was just an experiment, and asked a mod (either by custom flag or contact form) to change the name back right after, you should be fine. I don't think they'd be so harsh if it's clear that it wasn't done maliciously. (Besides, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be able to use that character in a name)

    meta.stackexchange.com/a/234897/215590 suggests that you will not be able to add it, even if you try.

  • See meta.stackexchange.com/questions/188555/… and meta.stackexchange.com/questions/188570/… . As for consequences - it depends, but its impolite and very much frowned upon to pretend to be someone else. Oh and meta.stackexchange.com/questions/99914/… . So simply, you can't , shouldn't and wouldn't (would you?)
