Account Name Policy

• account names must consist entirely of lower-case letters and digits, must contain at least one letter, and should start with a letter. There is a natural exception for ham radio callsigns starting with a digit.
• there is no upper limit on the length, but we will reject very long names
• account names should be at least three letters long
• we reserve the right to reject names if they are overly generic, or are similar to role names in the project
• "should" means that you might be able to convince us otherwise if you have good reasons
