Today I got this email from ArtOfCode, a [Hardware Recommendations](http://hardwarerecs.stackexchange.com) moderator, after he changed my username on HR from "Mͣͭͣ̾ Vͣͥͭ͛ͤͮͥͨͥͧ̾" to "user924": > Hello, > > I'm writing in reference to your Hardware Recommendations Stack > Exchange account: > > https://hardwarerecs.stackexchange.com/users/924/user924 > > I've just removed your username and set it back to its default value, > "user924". I've done this because your previous username made > extensive use of "Zalgo" text, which is disallowed in usernames. > > Please feel free to change your username back to something of your > liking, bearing in mind this prohibition. > > Regards, > ArtOfCode > Hardware Recommendations Stack Exchange moderator And then he went on changing my usernames on **every single** community I have an account on! (Changed from "Matas Vaitkevicius" to "user924") **Why are moderators allowed to change usernames across all communities?** Btw, I would appreciate if someone would revert my username to the way it was before on non-HR communities (I am fine with user924 on HR).
