Yes, correct, by changing the code. I believe it is easy if you have enough knowledge in PHP

You can find the username validation function in this file: ow_system_plugins/base/controllers/join.php

But, we strongly do not recommend to allow spaces in the usernames since the usernames are used in the URLs and the space may cause the problems with the software routing system, thus, lead to negative consequences.
