This is not an area to debate the pros and cons of proposed features. It is an area for people to suggest new features for either TW or TWGS. I will either add the proposed feature to my planned features list, or explain my reasons for passing on the feature at this time. Features added to the list can be voted on so I can gauge people's interest.

Would it be possible to prevent two corps from having the same corp name as is currently allowed?

< T h e   C o r p o r a t e   R e g i s t e r >

Corp Number Corp Name
-----------------------------------------------------
1 test 1
Creation Date: 10/15/23
Corp C.E.O. -> Test
-----------------------------------------------------
2 test 1
Creation Date: 10/15/23
Corp C.E.O. -> test2


Also would be nice to join a corp by the corp name instead of (or in addition to) entering the number for the corp. Eliminating duplicate names would be required for this.

I think that's a good idea. I wonder if there'd be any opposition to making that standard behavior. I'm sure there are some who think that duping your corp name is an honorable and legit tactic. I have no idea why that's allowed, when so much effort is made to avoid it for user names (and I'm tightening that up as well).

While you're looking at this, how do you feel about getting rid of the whole corp password system and replacing it with corp invites?

Maybe as an option. I have some goals for a few Corp options, like making Corps more static, to address some of the tactics to circumvent Corp alignment rules and such.
