An option, that when enables, sets players to a random alpha-numeric RPName when they connect, but ONLY IF they have a name that uses unusual characters, suck as ▲ or ▼ and so on so on...
Reasoning:
Unusual names such as this wreck havoc on other addons, and even in the database and console. For instance, I had one guy with a wierd name that scrambled the next 3 or 4 lines of text in my server console at one point. I also had another guy who looked like his name was "John" but when I banned him for minging, SourceBans read his name as something retarded. S‌i‌r S‌p‌e‌e‌d†was what sourcebans read a guys name as when it was really closer to Sir Speedy.
Config options could include a table or array of names, and an option to enable/disable the feature.
