Incorrect string value: '\xE2' for column 'name' at row 1 was generated by this player who managed to change the username (maybe via api?) to more than 32bytes.

Just a heads up, if they are changing their name like that to something you can't do in steam or console then they most likely are cheating to be able to set their name within the game engine. I'd say that's suspicious enough just to perm ban them. Most people using a cheat/exploit like this aren't only stopping at changing their name and are most likely taking advantage of other stuff hacking related.
