Just saw a [url=https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Өпƨσƭ/354043924]Singaporean band[/url] being accepted, and the name is "Өпƨσƭ" :durr:, which is a highly stylized version of Onset, the band's true name. (See, even the URL could not be parsed... :annoyed:) On their bandcamp and facebook, they use "Onset", and only in the logo, it becomes Өпƨσƭ (ӨПƧΣƬ). The stylized name is weird to the bone, using two Cyrillic letters (Ө, П), two very rare Latin letters (Ƨ, Ƭ), and a Greek letter (Σ). When written in minuscule (Өпƨσƭ), it is hard to guess what it intends to be (look at Σ --> σ).

I believe that the MA policy discourages such stylized names, and I suggest change it to the official name "Onset". Thought better ask here for opinions before filing a report.

Agreed, and changed.
