Large player names prevent people from clicking

The Player can shorten their Display Name for that game, under the Settings menu at the top-right of the game's chat. Wiki Documentation for Display Name, <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/My_Settings#Display_Name" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/My_Settings#Display_Name</a> Note: Display Name is game-specific, so they can keep their long-form name on their Profile/Forum but shorten to a more convenient-length name for purposes of the game's display at the bottom. For example if you want the player to be named Rupelstils.... with a dot dot dot, they can put the dot dot dot in the Display Name.
That still doesn't prevent players from trolling

If there is a person doing so, could you kick them from the group, as a solution? GM or Co-GM can do this on the game details page. <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Game_Management" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Game_Management</a>

Jean-Luc C, after reading a few posts concerning your players I would suggest finding some new ones. &nbsp;;-P
The players are my friends. I will not kick them. Although I do think roll20 should provide babysitting tools.
