Why no hyphens in Bungie.net name?

Its really annoying not being able to have a hyphen in my bungie.net username. My PSN name is Sub-Cryptik, but for my name on bungie.net I had to go with SubCryptik. For people trying to add me on the forums, it gets a bit confusing when my name doesn't match my psn name! Why is there no way to add hyphens?

  • Some special characters have never been allowed on bungie.net, for profile and group names. You'll have to choose a different one.

  • Hypens are reserved for moderators or customer service employees - take a look at the Competitive Multiplayer Trailer and you will see that every Player has "_bng" after their name, it's because the player are Bungie internal tester and they want this restriction to avoid misunderstanding.

  • Databases can be a real pain, but I'm sure Bungie has their reasons. What if you removed the hyphen from your PSN name, or would that ruin things?
