When testing a name, I entered an emoticon, and now I cannot access my account, because my username does not appear anywhere. All posts I have done say "Answered by me". Here are some screenshots:

Please fix this problem if possible and change my username back to ~Crimson~.

Thank you.

It's like your account's on lockdown, what did you type in?
It says it was asked by anonymous o.o
Due to technical restrictions these 3 characters cannot be used: @ + /
Invisible characters (e.g. zero-width spaces) are not allowed. Regular spaces are fine.


Did you follow these? Your account is really broken right now.
I didn't enter any of those specific characters, but I did enter an emoticon that will not show on any post, including comments and such, it probably has the same effect.
Are you able to go on chat or anything?
Yes, but my username does not appear anywhere in the bar or when I post.
He can, but it shows up like nobody said it o.o
You idiot -.-
Sorry :(
Invisible characters are banned in usernames, this happened before with no fix
You need Pm to transfer your points to another acc
Try getting on chat
Mike, get on the server.
