[RFC] Ensure display name uniqueness across the entire platform #9

@jsonnull

Description

@jsonnull

I see three major ways forward:

  1. Allow duplicate display name text and use a tag to differentiate between duplicates in the client. Discord does this. Looks like Jason#1234.

  2. Do not allow duplicate display name text and make display names first-come-first-serve. Using this strategy, we can still allow users to have a custom display name per game they are a member of. A complication with this strategy is that we would also have to consider allowing users to have a custom photo to accompany each username, which I do not think would scale well.

  3. Just allow duplicate display names.

I'm looking forward to comments and further ideas.
