Trimming White Spaces in Nicknames.

[JoeHaley]

Nicknames with spaces can cause issues.

I will represent white spaces with underscosed in this example:

"Joe_Haley" could be my nickname.
"Joe__Haley" could validly be someone elses nickname, yet because only one white space is shown, they both appear as:
"Joe_Haley"

This has led to some people taking advantage of this, and esentally "spoofing" someone elses nickname.

Can you please correct this? possibly by ither Trimming ALL White spaces in nicknames, or replaceing all white spaces with non-breaking spaces (html:  )
