Description
If you create blogs in the admin backend under blog-network/blogs, hyphens in blog names are allowed.
But if you create a blog from the frontend via the buddypress form, its restricted.
I think thats strange. Why buddypress stops using hyphens in blog names?
Can this be changed some how?
Thanks Sven

Okay, just looked into this and BuddyPress does in fact use multisite's validation routine.
bp_core_validate_blog_signup() uses wpmu_validate_blog_signup() to check the blog URL pattern and wpmu_validate_blog_signup() doesn't allow hyphens. So it is indeed a Wordpress MS issue.
I'm guessing the MS admin backend doesn't use wpmu_validate_blog_signup() to check blog URLs when it should.
This is fundamentally a Wordpress MS issue.
Might want to post it on the Wordpress Trac.
