Single/double quotes - Decay - Dec 28, 2015
So I've been wondering for ages now: Why aren't we allowed to have single or double quotes in our steam name ( ' ) ? lol
RE: Single/double quotes - Burnett - Dec 28, 2015
Quotes arent allowed due to security of the database (mysql). One could easily change their name to match an injection-statement such as database-removal etc.
Even if db query-calls are escaped, it's better not to allow quotes at all as they can be used to inject a similiar script/system.
