I think if someone does +++++++, you still match it, but strip the extra +es. So, you'd just do \+{2,}
, right?
I agree with @q0rban, not sure it matters to limit the number of "+"'s used. In which case the regex is good, will match correctly and capture the username. I noticed some slack username, (eg. t-bot) have dashes, so regex would miss those. Also a couple other cleanup:

If you wanted to match only two "+"s, here's one that could work. It works by requiring a character that isn't a "+" after the first two, or the end of line position:
Good catch on the -. I think that means we'd also want other characters too, like underscores and … what else?
I think there are some other scenarios we need to account for:
something nifty++
something_nifty++
tlattimore|afk++
[tlattimore]++
this shouldn't be a match for willwh++
we don't want $i++ to increment a karma value for i
thisiswaytoolongandshouldnotgetmatched++
Here's an error message I get when I try to change my name so something with all kinds of characters:
I'll make a PR to correct some of these regex's. Will need getting my local setup for testing though.
Remember, you can give karma to things other than just people:
[12:02:53] <q0rban> ie6--
[12:02:54] <lullabot> ie6 has karma of -22.
Right, and now that I read through the whole diff, seems like you were thinking about just users @willwh ?
Tried something that makes sense in my head in a5b85a2. Need to test though and I can't get the node server to start locally on this branch anymore :/.
I pushed some updates specific to my setup, so it doesn't even allow http connections. I'll hook up with you this afternoon and I can push something you can work with.
That Drupalize.me branch is dirty ATM ;) On 22 May 2015 09:38, "Matthew Oliveira" notifications@github.com wrote:

Cool, ping me whenever.
Calling this guy closed. Going to open more specific issues as they come.
@m4olivei I would love some regex advice :)

Ideally, we would not be matching on say; +++++++++++, but only instances of ++
