Reported by @ravenlife:

The option to change your display name to a custom one is brilliant,

however imo it needs to be restricted some, users should not be able to change there display name to either an existing username or an existing custom display name.

this stops it being confusing with multiple people with the same name. it also poses a risk, that a user could change there name to 'Admin' and post this could have a detrimental effect on a sites/admins reputation, or in some cases allow unscrupulous people to gain private information from users
