  1. Hacker_Masters
  2. Hacker_Masters
  3. "Hacker_Masters"
  4. "Hacker_Masters"
  5. hacker_masters

We can start with eliminating option 5. Their group name would be a proper noun so it would have to be capitalized¹.

  1. Hacker_Masters
  2. Hacker_Masters
  3. "Hacker_Masters"
  4. "Hacker_Masters"
  5. hacker_masters

I would then eliminate options 3 and 4. When you use a name of a person or group, you don't need to put them in quotes². It's the same thing for italics² so option 2 is out.

  1. Hacker_Masters
  2. Hacker_Masters
  3. "Hacker_Masters"
  4. "Hacker_Masters"
  5. hacker_masters

This leaves us with option 1 - the classic.

Hacker_Masters

When using option 1, you may want

to consider taking to first identify the group by its proper name (Hacker_Masters) and then note in parentheses that at all times a more convenient name will be substituted for the writer's sake. I.E. "The Hacker_Masters (henceforth known as Hacker Masters) is an organization that..."

This would mean in dialogue Hacker_Masters could be called Hacker Masters, or HM for short, and so on depending on your style.

This way you don't have to write out Hacker_Masters with the underscore each time.

Does this solve your problem?
