old format and new format are both

validates :profile_name, presence: true, uniqueness: true, format: { with: /a-ZA-Z0-9_-/, }

They flip back and forth a lot with profile_name user_name full_name in the code. Just watch yourself lol Good you're reporting it. Just saying they do it a lot and when I first started coding it really destroyed my code a few times.
