I see users names that have a dash in front of their name.

-Troll
-Hi
-Telephone

Why do people do this?

Does that consider your name to be "OG"?

To get a clean(er) and more original name.

Instead of typing like Dupee or Duxe

Same reason you use the "oh" in your name.

It doesn't really matter though, because it looks messy with dashes or underscores.

if that names taken, like my old name was -Syzygy because the real syzygy made one post and hasn't been on in years, but it is annoying when somes blatently copied a name, if it's taken... think of a new one, any name with - or _ isn't OG for me, why I changed mine.. but I was kinda allowed I guess
