CUE offers several flexible approaches for leaderboard usernames, each balancing personalization with moderation:
**Automatic System Assignment**: CUE automatically assigns safe, system-generated names (such as 'CUE' followed by a unique number string). This is the safest option but can appear generic.
**Custom User-Generated Usernames**: You can allow users to create their own custom usernames. CUE applies a default 10,000-word blacklist for inappropriate content, with the ability to add custom terms to block (like rival team names) or whitelist terms that get incorrectly flagged.
**Approved Prefix/Suffix Combinations**: For more personalization without moderation concerns, you can upload approved prefixes and suffixes as CSV files, and the system automatically combines them to generate unique, on-brand usernames with numeric suffixes for uniqueness. For example, you might provide roster names or historic players (like 'Messi' or 'Beckham'), which are then randomly paired with numbers to create names like 'Messi4287' or 'Beckham1923'. This approach keeps leaderboards engaging and on-brand while eliminating inappropriate content risks.
**Partner Data Integration**: If integrating with a partner platform that has existing user data, CUE can pull in first and last initials or similar identifiers to make the leaderboard experience feel more personalized.
You can also control the length of automatic usernames to suit your preferences.
