Why isn't it possible to have an email name with a dot?

Hello,
why isn't it possible to register an email with a dot in it? Like [email protected] This is pretty standard with other providers.

@Namal I think it's a bug because my Vivaldi mail adress contain a dot in it.

Why ?
Unfortunately as it adds a second level to the name it breaks the way the site is setup, and you will get a subdomain with no valid certificate.
I currently have to decide what to do with my own user name as it was created before the blog URLs were based on your user name. -
@Namal Thanks for your message and sorry for not getting back to you earlier.
In the past we had an all-in-one system (forum & blogs for example) that allowed us to have any kind of username. As the community grew, this system was no longer scalable. Thus, we had to switch over to different services which don't allow special characters such as the dot. Sorry for the disappointment and thank you for understanding.
