Would it be possible to add a cvar to not log stats for players that have over x amount of Unicode characters in their name?

Due to the usual ugly all Unicode names that players use.
They end up looking a right mess in the stats.
For e.g This player

I don't mind players using Unicode for some parts of their name.
Since I am in the UK I do get a lot of other European players on my server.
Who use Unicode letters as it's the correct way to spell their name.

It's the players that use all Unicode just to make some stupid "graphical" looking name, that I dislike.

Edit:
Just noticed in the MySQL admin page that it is set to:
MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)
MySQL connection collation: utf-8_unicode_ci

The MySQL connection collation one can be changed, is there a correct Unicode one to set that too?

oops just noticed that the Name was set to utf-8_general_ci.
Is that correct?

Also does the $dbtimemod = not accept -1 as a valid number?
As the times shown on my stats page are 1 hour ahead of "real time".
I have no idea what is off (time wise), be it Game server, Database, or Website.
