Ezio Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 It has been requested before, but wasn't fufilled. Now I don't think it's been suggested like this before - on another forum i visit you have a "log-in name" and a "display name" whereas on ycm we just have a "username" which is both, and always the same. I think we should have the first. The "log-in name" being the name you currently have, and the "display name" which everyone else sees. Then on the User CP we can have a thingy saying "Change Display Name" Now don't say it's not gonna happen, because I am on a forum which currently offers this.

SushiTheLegend Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 But is it a MyBB forum? I think before suggesting these kinds of things you need to know if MyBB supports it via mods, and then if it does provide a link to the mod.

Ezio Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Right... I guess that's the problem. I don't think it's MyBB, it's similar to this forum though. but probably not MyBB ¬_¬ I'll check and see if there is a mod for it on MyBB though.

JG. Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 If he's thinking of the forum I'm thinking of, it's an IPB forum. But support, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomboi Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 If it's possible, I support it. But just add something like "For above 3 star members" or something so mingebags don't spam with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzi Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Ugh, I hate forums with that stupid system. No, the current system is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezio Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 It works for them, but mainly because the forum I visit just happens to have good members who care about the subject and there aren't any spammers, trolls or n00bs, so I can see on YCM this slightly becoming a problem, however if as DJ Seh-Vun said, 3 star members and above only then I can see it going well...

Dismal Euphony Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Ugh' date=' I hate forums with that stupid system. No, the current system is fine.[/quote'] This. There's no need to be able to change your name whenever you damn well please. It would get confusing after awhile because some people would abuse it and be like, "ZOMG!1 IVE HAD TEH SAME NAME 4 LYKE 6 MINUTZ NAO! ITZ TIME 4 CHANGE!" If it's possible' date=' I support it. But just add something like "For above 3 star members" or something so mingebags don't spam with it.[/quote'] This seems like a good approach, but then there will be n00bs spamming all over the place in order to acquire three stars. This isn't a good idea. No support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Łövëły-Ċħän♥ Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 No support. That would cause mass confusion. People changing names at their pleasure, chaos would spread in Tournaments, Clubs, and Roleplays like a parasitic disease that sucks the life from it's host (Wow I got some good metaphors and simalies :3 But this one is kinda creepy o.O). It needs to be contained to the moderators. They have an organized method of using this power, there is no point in bringing that down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥Łövëły-Ċħän♥ Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Which is exactly why it should not be accepted. Not because YOU specifically want it but because no one would show self control over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blamonchesix Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 If this does work, people will probably abuse it and make things more confusing.I don't hate it. I just think its unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
◊ Hᵃᵏᵃˢᵉ ◊ Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 No support. As stated, noobs will flame this, and more than likely, people will be making stupid names, then immediatly change it cause they wanted a quick laugh out of everyone. You can definately consider that. Unless people are comitted to making one name, and sticking to it, there is no reason in making it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Support, but make it accessible only to the Level 3 or higher members. That way, noobs won't abuse it. But with this, it would save the Supers a lot of stress with name changing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson General Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 sounds stupid, I can see people bieng, oh that person is me! I changed my name, over and over and over.

KuroKibo Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Now don't say it's not gonna happen' date=' because I am on a forum which currently offers this.[/quote']Well I won't say it's not going to happen, but I also has a MyBB forum which, as long as I know, as I used it for tests, only Admins (and Super Moderators, as I knew it from this forum) are allowed to change their display names or even the login name. So no other user, than Admin and SM, can change their name, both display or login. Either way tho, still support.Suggestion: Agree with people above, try to limit their privilege, only Level 3 or above can change their name. That way noobs aren't going to just change their display names because they were bored so they change their display name again. Or delay times like, after you change your display name you have 3 weeks before you can change it again. And another info: *cough*Noobs,*cough* if you're trying to get 3 stars by spamming you're going to be reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milk-Chan Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Well if you were only allowed to change your name say, once a week, so as that it is not MAJORLY abused, I guess it would work. So, I guess its a no support. I really don't like the idea period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna Lovegood Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Maybe a self-suggested name change? You suggest it for yourself, and mods approve it or not. otherwise there is no way of knowing who is who. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
