@R_J Thanks so much for your help. The GDN_Sessions table was over 9GB so I just cleared it and then bingo:
Well if you want to learn something about Vanilla, start hacking! If you want a simple answer look at the spoiler... 😉
Your hacking would have ended up in the file functions.validation.php which has the function validateUsernameRegex(). In that you can see that two config values are used (if they exist) for validating user names:
Garden.User.ValidationRegex
Garden.User.ValidationLength
So you only have to add $Configuration['Garden']['User']['ValidationLength'] = '{2,20}'; to your config.

@Shadowdare @R_J The UX of Rich Editor is particularly important to us going forward and I can certainly see where this may be a bit confusing. I'll have a discussion with our designer and see if we can iterate on it the next release so that things are clearer.
Just a brief update here:
I'm in the process of getting a couple last fixes onto the 3.0 branch this week, and expect to make the final release available for the weekend.
To @Krisstoffer Thank you for filing multiple issues. I intend to have that search one resolved for 3.0.
Other issues are being triaged and will make there way through our product pipeline. As always is an issue is important to you, and you want to help out the community, contributions are greatly appreciated. I track any new PRs that open and will do my best to give a timely response.
TL;DR: If you use Laravel Valet for PHP dev on your Mac and want to enable URL rewriting for Vanilla, get this: https://github.com/austins/vanilla-valet-driver
I do most of my programming on my Windows desktop, but I have been finding myself needing to work on projects away from home on my MacBook.
On MacOS, you have many options for setting up a PHP dev environment, such as XAMPP, AMPPS, various Docker stacks (although persisted bind mounts are slow on Mac's filesystem), installing the services locally, VMs, and Bootcamp.
I found Laravel Valet the easiest to set up and wanted to enable pretty URLs for Vanilla, but instead of modifying the Nginx config, you can use a Valet driver to achieve this. I created a simple Valet driver for Vanilla and wanted to share.
Using the ampersand is a normal operator in php for referencing a variable and has nothing to do with vanilla
$a = $b
If $b has value 1, $a will have it, too. But if you make $a = 2, $b will not change
$a = &$b
Change $a and $b changes, too

Appreciate the perhaps overly detailed response, reported issues on Github.
Not sure if this is already correctly implemented, but in theory you can add a key to the PluginInfo: 'Priority' => 42,
If that's not working, you have to implement your own queue, I'd say.

I recommend using single-line comments (//) instead if you're only commenting one line at a time as is the case within in your snippet above for convenience and readability; only use multi-line comments (/* ... */) when commenting out a multiple lines of code together.
So, what you showed is one way to remove those modules, but the problem with modifying the actual file is that updates to the Basic Pages app could replace your changes and you'd have to redo it all over again. A better way would be to unset the modules--credits to @hgtonight for posting this solution a while back--from the Panel asset in the controller via a custom plugin or theme hooks.
For example, your custom plugin can contain code like this:
public function pageController_render_before($sender) {
$panel = &$sender->Assets['Panel'];
unset($panel['NewDiscussionModule'], $panel['BookmarkedModule'], $panel['DiscussionsModule'], $panel['RecentActivityModule']);
}
I might remove the BookmarkedModule from Basic Pages in the future and leave the rest.
