Supreme Gamesmaster Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 ...lolwut People have been railing to change their names since the dawn of the forum. When the recent "one-name-change-for-the-rest-of-eternity" development came about, there were a lot of complaints. I mean a LOT. So really, trying to shut it down after we just got back...? Not the best way to buy PR. Making a petition to shut it down after we just got it back...? You might as well petition to bring back the MyBB board errors. I've been around two years longer than you, and I can keep track of names just fine, so... no support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayy lmao Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 No support, the name change feature is fine how it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiza Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 By constantly changing your name so no-one knows who you are... that's how you abuse it. Seriously, you didn't realise that? Yes I realised that but what kind of tit would do that? New members? Would it really annoy you that some 1 star member kept changing his name every 30 days?

Brushfire Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Hioco has done it twice already; I had no idea who he was more than once. Allowing people to change their names this often is annoying and it's hard to keep track of who's who if they don't tell you. @Supreme: Being here longer means nothing as this is a new forum software and we've never had the ability to change our own name three times a month before.

Cin Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Name change is a privilege not a rite, remember that guys. A rite you have to earn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMRenji Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 No support. Once a month or so is fine. Besides, it's easier for everyone if they can do it themselves instead of asking Mods for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supreme Gamesmaster Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 @Supreme: Being here longer means nothing as this is a new forum software and we've never had the ability to change our own name three times a month before.I wouldn't have said anything, but the thread maker used seniority as an excuse before. It's the logical-fallacy equivalent of fighting fire with fire, I guess. I see your point, but at the same time, I'd like to reduce YCMaker's workload by taking the default inaction -- my primary motivation for arguing, since the only time I've ever changed my name was when I couldn't log in. Plus, it's nice to have that change of pace once in a while, and it's probably better to have a little bit too much than nothing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushfire Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I don't want it gone completely, I just want it lowered to once every month or two months: rather than three times a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Gamesmaster Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 ...wait, it's not once a month? I just saw that page, and I could've sworn it was once a month... ...huh. Well, thrice a month is definitely excessive. EDIT: My page says once in a 90-day period... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMRenji Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 But as said we wont know who is who after a while Yes, but some members put their former names in their Member Title or Sig(Me for one). Though once a month may be a little too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushfire Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 It's been changed now, I see. Last night it was 3 times per month. Now it's once every 3 months, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMRenji Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 That sucks for me. I don't like my new name and was hoping to change it back in a month. Oh, well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
