It’s good, I just hope their filtering system for the names is sufficient and updated to what abusers are doing.

You raise a good point. The only way would be to manually verify every developer. Such a process would be very tedious.

It would be way easy to either
- Not allow display names which are the username of the place owner (possibly team create members/HRs)
- Add a DisplayName disable such that games having such problems often can disable it
Both of these of course could be scripted by any player, and someone already open sourced a bypass to Show Both display names and @s

Honestly, I understand that impersonation is a huge issue, but I also feel like this update is getting a lot more hate than it should be. I feel like Roblox should finish the filtering system and finish up the update, then they should release for a single week all around the world. If too much damage is done, then display names should be canceled. If things are able to kept somewhat orderly, then Roblox could think more about implementing them.

The biggest problem of display name, some abuse with this for impersonate a youtuber, also it would take lot of times for add all youtubers, staff and developper’s similar name (like P1nkL3af or Ruso) to the filter

LOL, this cracked me up. I believe a users original username will still appear in chat, I’m not sure though! 
This could be great, but also not. I believe that users should be able to change their display name, but some names should be reserved. Some suggestions:
- Admins
- Star Creators
- Official Model Makers
- Anyone who has a minimum number of visits on a place they can edit should be able to apply for a “name lock”. I think 10,000 is a good number.

I am personally not a fan of the display names for a few reasons, you don’t have very much limitations. What about the dangerous users out there trying to grab account’s? I don’t see anything about popular game developer’s, youtubers, and so on being put on the limitation so user’s can’t impersonate.
What even is the point in display names? It’s like changing your username but only the display name portion, might as well make username changes free as well, I guess. I love most of the updates you the staff team gives us, but I am not a big fan of display name updates.

Display Names are not unique. With the introduction of this feature, your Display Name is what will appear in places such as chat, player lists, or over your in-game character’s head.
This is literally what it says in the post, if you thoroughly read it.

Could this be the reason the chat started breaking all of a sudden?

Display names were removed, probably due to the amount of issues.

Display names were out for the time being for testing purposes. They were only meant to be out for a few hours time in the first place.

About the player list, in order to prevent impersonation and for the ease to distinguish players with the same display name. Can we display both display name and our username on the leaderboard? Since it’ll be quite a pain seeing loads of people with the same display name on the leaderboard, and we don’t know who’s who.
