Currently, if a nation has a user named 'kitten', then the nation can't have any pages slugged/stubbed 'kitten' -- can we remove that restriction?
Official response from Jim Gilliam
The simple way to deal with this is to just remove the username "kitten" from that person. You can do this from the "Public profile" tab on the person's record in the control panel.
It was a fair amount of work to allow people to have /username, which I think is a great feature, much more desirable than /user/username. And since it's so easy to reclaim a slug, I'm inclined to leave this feature as is.
How would you tag this suggestion?

Realize this is pretty deep in the gears but this could be a bigger issue for us with current projects where we have nations with several hundred thousand to over a million twitter followers eating up many of the simple slugs. A directory structure like /user/slug or adding a permitted special character or something like that i.e. /~twitterfollower
