How do I get 3 letter usernames?

Does anyone know if the users in https://scratch.mit.edu/classes/523115/ can be deleted? and if so, is it possible to free up the usernames? because they're useless just dumped in some class and people actually want 3 letter/character usernames
The Scratch Team could delete them, but that wouldn't make the usernames available.

the scratch team does have the ability to free up the usernames (by changing them), but i don't think it makes sense to do so, just so that a few “rare usernames” are available to the world.

It's pretty hard now, but there is 1 that is available but you need to be lucky that the filter is down and that is “w7f”. I have no idea why it is banned.

I think that ST should remove accounts that have no activity at all. It would free up storage space for people who actually use the website. (Also I'm just salty that the username I wanted was stolen by that fake teacher account.)

+1, but they´d have to be inactive for 2-3 years

Look at the first and second letter. Along with the seven, it looks like an abbreviation which contains an inappropriate word in it.

Meanwhile, LMAO is allowed… Yeah, that makes sense.

Though w1f and such doesn't make you muted or isn't banned. Just w7f

Then that's likely just a filter issue.

Especially since all of them are either taken or filtered.

I don't remember the usernames but 3 or 4 3-char names were never registered (they are banned by the filter but may become registered if filter gets disabled because of a glitch)

And 0 are available.
Also what math are you using to get 574,872.
Usernames are case sensitive, and can only contain characters 0-9 and A-Z (36 characters). 36^3 is only 46,656, and a lot of those are filtered.
