6053, Se-, Sel-, and Self- named characters.

These characters have an advantage over others. Players must type 5 letters of their name, instead of the normal 2 to interact with them. Otherwise, the game thinks you are refering to self.

The split seconds it takes a slow typer to type, and the increased chance for typos with greater # of letters, gives them an unfair advantage. Moreover, the fact that people will refer to them as se, sel, and/or self and miss their command on them.

People who currently have names like this are powergaming, and taking advantage of ooc code.

I suggest, no names be allowed to start with Se, Sel, and Self.
